At any rate, the " enforced suppression of General Gaszre's long " continued correspondence against the official " practice of marching troops in disregard of the " excessive hest, will not avail to shield head " quarters in the came of the Artillery battery." Now it is just possible —although far from pro bable—that Generill Gases may be to blame in the matter of this " fatal march from Dillow ;" bat the Bombay headquarters authorities are oer tainly doing their beat to make every Englishman believe that the responsibility of the order rests with them. And not only this—where secrecy is enforced, where inquiry is denied, or where pub- I licity is shunned, there must be something to con ceal, which, if made patent to the world, would be to the disadvantage of those who fear that their acts should be made public. There are now in England two officers holding highly responsible situations, both of whom must be fully aware of the amount of reform required in the Indian Staff. These two are Sir HUGH Rosa and Sir Hors GRANT. In India the heads of these Generals were, so to speak, tied, as unfortunately moat official men's hands are in the East. They I are both deservedly held in high esteem by the COMMANDIR.IN.CHIRE. Let his ROYAL HIGHNESS consult with them. and endeavour to put the saddle on the right horse with respect to this untoward business. Public opinion will never allow this fatal march to pass over without the real delin quent being discovered and punished. But why should they escape ? If by a similar official blunder two or three Guardsmen were to die of sun-stroke between London and Windsor, would not the officer who was to blame be found out, and when his fault was proved would he not be punished f Why should we spare in India what we have no mercy en in England 4 In April last more than thirty English soldiers died because some official in India did not do his duty, and that officer, whoever he may be, ought to be most severely punished. This is, in few words, the pith of the whole affair. Con cealment and secrecy will not avail the Bombay authorities ; :he neglect of duty has been very homicidal, and the army should be shown that in no rank can such faults of such magnitude be committed with impunity. No local interest should be allowed to stand between the offender and his dismissal from the service. It the authority of the Horse Guards is ever to be more than a dead letter in India, we have not heard the last of " The Fatal March from /elbow." Total 1 Vp Ws mgrs. the QUALITY.

THERE is no official delinquency which Eng. labium are loss prone to forgive than en attempt to conceal a fault. Al • general rule, Jour; Bum. is by no means a bard meatier. He is irascible, quick-tempered, apt to judge hastily, and greatly given to insist upon immediate punish ment--sometimes even before an offence is fully proved against a supposed culprit. But the reaction is speedy, Even in grave oases of sin ning against the public good on the part of public servants, your true Briton seldom bears malice. Shortcomings are forgiven, positive faults are forgotten, and the louder the outcry against an offender the sooner does allthat can be urged against him pass out of public memory. BLit there is one sin which the English public never pardon, and that is when—no matter from what cause—any official attempts to bide what he has directly or indirectly done amiss. And doubly unpardon able it seems to our peculiar English love of fair play when • public servant who attempts so show the why and the wherefore of any blunder is hindered by his superiors from making known what he believes to be true. This is a feeling which happily pervades all classes amongst us. We have many faults, but we insist upon every man being allowed to justify himself if it be possible. If he attempts to do so and fails, •so much the worse for him ; if be would rather hold his tongue, by all means let him do so. But to have any one ordered to be silent when he asks merely to show that he was not in error on this or that occasion, is what never has and never will be tolerated in any land where the Anglo-Saxon race is dominant. It is for this reason that the Bombay military or civil authorities--perhaps both are to blame--have probably not heard the last of what is now as well known in England as in India by the name of " The Fatal March from Mhow." About three months ago the English public were startled by hearing that, owing to some official blunder ing and muddle, • battery of artillery was ordered to march from M how, in Central India, to Kirkee, in the Deccan, at • season when the jungles through which the troops had to pass were almost certain death to any European. The artillerymen started on their march, and the re sult was exactly what might have been expected. Before they bad got thirty miles on their road Asiatic cholera of the most virulent form broke out amongst them, and the detachment had to re turn to Mhow, after burying thirty per cent. of their number in less than a week. As a matter of course an inquiry was ordered.

The morning papers are without interest. In the absence of political news, the various plans of de oentralisation supply some of them with a subject of discussion ; but French readers have little taste for leaders on subject' which do not interest them, and the journalists fill up their columns in these days of dearth with extracts from foreign papers, often put into the form of letters, and literary reviews. The Emperor has contrived to secure so 'much privacy that it is only in the form of extracts from the Swiss papers that we bear anything of his movements. He is enjoying for a few days the hap piness of that return to private life which the Em press is always so ready to taste the sweets of. A life of constant representation must be irksome in the extreme to a man bred to more independent habits. It is only education from infancy whioh can render such an existence endurable ; and in the Emperor's case the precautions which are taken to secure him against assassination must add to the feeling that he is again, as at Ham, but a state prisoner. How much he feels this was proved to his alarmed guardians one morning about four years ago, when he disappeared from the Tuileries, and was for • couple of hones unfindable. He turned up again, however, and at the circle in the evening everyone 'was anxious to hear what had happened to him. He then told how in his morning walks on the terrace of the Tuileries he had often watched the omnibus on the Place de la Con corde which goes to Auteuil, till at last he could no longer resist the temptation, got out at the postern, and mounting on the roof went to Auteuil and returned on the same con veyance. "But how did your Majesty get the six sons to pay for your placer asked the private treasurer who was present. " I have been planning the excursion for a long time, and I took measures to get them." On another occasion the authorities of the town of Dieppe, where the Emperor and Empress were staying, were thrown into consterna tion by the disappearance of both. It Wll 10 at night. The police of surety were sent out in every direction, the prefect was in the greatest alarm, thinking his sovereigns were abducted, and at last they were found seated together having a quiet look at the moonlit sea on the end of the pier. It is understood that to-morrow the imperial couple will return to their gallery at Fontainebleau. General Montebello, commander-in-chief of the army of occupation in Rome, has been invited there to confer with the Emperor. As the Garde- Meublo has forwarded • quantity of furniture to Biarritz there seems no reason to suppose that this part of the autumn programme will be changed. Your readers will hardly care to know that on the occasion of the 15th 59 sub-prefectures and 16 ovaries have been made happy by the presentation of portrait' of their Majesties. The French papers are beginning to put forward their appreciations of the treaty of Gastan and Salzburg. The Patr ie professes to believe that M. de Bismarck has been less successful than his admirers suppose, and that the pecuniary indem nity stipulated for by Austria in exchange for its rights in Lauenburg is only the smallest part of what the present arrangement costs Prussia. The Temps sees in the conquest of Lauenburg by Prussia something still more menacing to that power. While it was a question of nationalities France had uo alternative but to leave its old ally the King of Denmark to his fate ; but when Prussia only consults its own convenience, and aids a convenient little territory to its straggling possessions, it authorises France to say that there is such or such a position on the Rhine which suits France, aal which abe can appropriate with the same right as Prussia Lauenburg. "Ass France is much stronger than Prussia this is the weak aide of M. de Bismarck's policy. As for moral order it is evidently foreign to the question." Prussian officers will learn to be henceforth more careful in the choice of the persons on whom they try their swords. From having mistaken a Ger men-speaking Frenchman for a German, Count von Eulonberg will be made to pay more or less dearly, for a lark which if indulged in with greater discrimi nation would have redounded to his credit in his re giment, and excited no complaints abroad. The pro vincial papers here have taken the matter up, and the French government will be obliged to insist on some sort of satisfaction. A mixed commission, civil and military, is examining the affair at Bonn. This little incident has happened at a most favourable moment, as it gives the French, whose nobility was never accustomed to take such liberties, at least with thou who were not their own vassals, an opportunity of appreciating what Lauenburg bas gained by the recent convention with Austria, and what is in store for the liberated Duchies. With the exception of Oldenburg, where the nobility are allowed the exercise of the stick as well as of the sword, there is no country in Europe where their privileges bare survived ao entire as in Prussia ; but the indiscriminate use which 110030 of the younger members of the higher order make of them, threatens to end in their curtailment. Six months never pass without some act of violence quite as bad as this, but at places like Magdeburg or Posen they are little talked of. At Bonn there are too many strangers, and M. D'Eulenberg must not be surprised if, as the evening papers announced, he is ordered under arrest in his own rooms. It is a severe measure, but probably the authorities found it inevitable, as THE NEW ARCTIC EXPEDITION. it seems that our Queen as well as France ha s HAMBURG, Amour 22. stirred in the matter.

The Emprees said to have a greet desire to see the mountains. The Lucerne Tayeblatt says : Towards half-put 4io the afternoon of the 21st the Emperor Napoleon and Empress Eugenie arrived here with their suite by special train from Zurich. A large crowd silently awaited the arrival of the imperial visitors at the railway station. The people saluted in a simply republican m by uncovering, which was responded to by the Emperor and Empress with much friendliness. The visitors and their suite drove in hackney carriages through the town to the "Schweizerhof," where they occupied apes t moots nixie the first floor. Shortly after their arrival the Emperor and Empress came out upon the balcony of the hotel, and were greeted by the assembled crowd with loud cheers. Subsequently. accompanied by several ladies, the imperial pair visited the Lion monument outside the town. Yesterday, notwithstanding the continual rain, tbo illustrious visitors continued their journey to Alpnach, where they will pass the Brunig to In terlachen and Thun. It is believed they will re turn to France by way of Berne, when the Federal Council will have the opportunity of paying their respects in person. The Thurganer Zeitung gives the following de tails of the reception of Swiss authorities by,,',the Emperor : President Eyloff bade the Emperor and Empress welcome in a short and dignified speech, thanked their Majesties for the kindly feeliap they bad displayed towards the canton, and added his best wishes for the undisturbed happiness of the illustrious family. The Emperor replied in the heartiest sod kindest manner that he had always entertained the most pleasant remembrance of the oountry In which be mid his mother had lived salons and had found so much sympathy, where, indeed, he also had been received es citizen. He should always be glad to assure the Bane of his goodwill and reprd. After some further conversation, the deputies were invited to breakfast and most hospitably entertained.

This has often been proposed to the Roman government, but the ex pense has prevented it from undertaking the work itself, and the belief in the enormous artistic and other wealth buried in its bed has prevented its authorising the companies which have at different times been projected for the purpose.

We refer to Anthony Phillips, son of the Rev. Thos. Phfflips, Reiner of Denali and Callow, near Hereford—a en lad 11l years of age. He was on a visit in the neighbour hood of Taub,. and on Tuesday , morning went out to bathe with his brother, and a Irked named Sparks . The water was rather rough at the time, and the brother, seeing Mr. Sparks, who was some way out in the water, look frightened, told Anthony to go on to land while he went to his friend's assistenee. The current, however, appears to have nee too strong for him, for on looking round, be saw poor Anthony beiog carried out to sea and immediately sink. —Devizes Gaiv Ile.

Hardy would not swept the challenge, sad Creeknell removed Poulter lower down the field towards his home to pee vent their fighting Crackuell and Stook then returned towards the Pond Farm, lorries Poulter, who carried two sickles, and Hardy together. Almost immediately Hardy was heard to call oat, " I am out ;" and it was found on examination that he was dreadfully wounded in the arm by a sickle. Cricknell returned to Poulter for the purpose of taking the sickles away from him, bopisg to prevent further mischief, but Poulter resisted, sad, flourishing the males at Cracknell, struck at him repeasedly. Oraciinell fell down and Posher struck at him while be was on the ground ; but at length Crack nail enoesedsd is getting the two halm away. and Poulton went off home.
