Mr. IIONSNLL emplaned that the Ordnance commissary at Selektive had not yet forwarded the informatioa re quired. The house rose at 26 skates to S. LATEST FROM ABROAD. No public announcement of news from the Crimea by the government telegraph wee made yesterday. Private telegraphic advioes from Vienna report a fall,yesterday, of 2 per cent. in the Austrisia funds. This depression was connected with a rumour that the Russian ambassador" had left the city. On the other hand, we have advice' from Vienna of yesterday, also by submarine telegraph, of a me diatory proposition which Austria has made with the support of Prussia, and which the belligerent powers, it is said, are expected to embrace. According to this plan Russia would be entitled to restore her Black Bea Beet to its former strength, each of the allies to maintain half es many ships there as Russia during the proosso.—Daily News. On Thiusday last a despatch from Sebastopol was posted at Odessa, stating that the French and English guns were silent, that cot a single Russian battery was demolished, and that the greater part of a reinforcement of 50,000 Russians bad arrived in the neighbourhood of Sebastopol.—Daily News. LL RESERVE. Tam is one rather remarkable circumstance con nected with the obstinate silence which Ministers preserve, regarding their information from the East. By means of the all but completed electric telegraph they are now in the regular receipt of intelligence from the theatre of war in twenty-tour hours or lees. Any information they may give to the public in Lon don is sure to be transmitted to Bt. Petersburg with in the same space of time. Here then is an opportunity for the plausible urging of their favourite plea for concealment, that to give publicity to the contents of their de spatchei, would be to give information which the enemy might turn to account. It would not be easy to answer this plea for their keeping secret all intelligence relative to operations in pro gress, and holding the public on the tenter-hooks of expectation till definite results can be announced. But in all the recent discussions they have carefully abstained from urging this plea. This seems to imply an awkward conscioasness on their part that their silence has its origin from other motives—that the information they have to communicate would arouse feelings of indignation unfavourable to their retention of office. And in this light the general public seem disposed to regard the ominous dumb ness of all the official oracles. An uneasy apprehen sion pervades the community that Government are silent because they have none bat unsatisfactory news to communicate. The news received through _ _ other channels is ill adapted to soothe the irritable feeling generated by this apprehension. The most recent detailed intelligence from the Crimes, though not unimportant, lags too much in the rear of telegraphic communications to interest the public in its present mood. The news from Vienna is contradictory in the extreme. A corre spondent telegraphs to us that Austria has brought forward a new proposition with a view to solve the difficulties of the knotty third point, and that Prussia approves of it. It is needless to add that a proposi tion having such parentage and such a sponsor is de scribed as utterly inadmissible. On the other hand, a private telegraph received yesterday in the City from Vienna states that the Austrian funds had fallen 2 per cent., in consequence of a rumour that the "Rus sian Ambassador—(whether Prince GOITCHAKOII or the ordinary Minister of Russia is meant does not appear)—had left the city." All that can be inferred from such oonflictiog tidings is that the purposes of the two great German Powers are still inscrutable— perhaps even to themselves. As to our own rulers, the tenor of the remarks in their organs in the press, for the last day or two, seems intended to prepare the public for a declaration that the plan of campaign in the Crimea must be entirely changed. For oar put, so far from censuring such a resolution, we have long argued for its adoption. But the hesitation of Ministers to come forward and tell the troth unre servedly seems to indicate that they are still without a plus—that they are drifting rudderless at the mercy of the stream of events.—Roily New. the Jenard of wetting the throat el the Weems mho& swistearee is the way this amenre provided, partly • kb. it It had set dose an tbe pea Vim eland by refs sad goveresmat feeds.

"In order to remove any doubt whisk may exist u to the rank and precedence of the officers of the Honour able Feat India Company's service," it is intimated that her Maury desires they shall have rank and prece dence with cams of the Royal Army. This rule, too, is to hold good "in all parts of her Majesty's domi nions or elsewhere." The order does not merely apply to brevet commissions signed by her Menton, and appearing in the Royal Army List, but to all suc h documents "signed by authorities duly deputed to do so by her MA/10117.. In non•offieial—and plainer—language, all °Akers of the East India Com pany's service are now 'precisely on the same foot ing-♦o far as rank and precedence extends—es those of the Queen's army. Bo far so good. It is very' seldom in these days our lot to record a Government enactment so praiseworthy. A Captain of Na tire Isfantry serving his country on the confines of Pert or the North-West Frontier of India will, for the future, take rank with any Captain in the Blues, Life Guards, or Grenadiers. This is but fair, just, and wise. Until now, no matter how long the officer of the Company's army had served, when he returned to England—or rather, as soon se he found himself to the Westward of the Cape—be became, in point of fact, a civilian. The courtesies of society allowed him to retain nominally his army rank in this °matey ; but this was, so to speak, only upon sufferance. When a detachment of troops em barked on board ship for the purpose of proceeding to Jodie, an Resign of the Royal Army might take com mand of a Colonel in the Company's service, until the vessel bad passed the longitude of the Cape. To the Eastwnrd of that—and consequently all over India— officers of the two armies took rank according to the dates of their respective commissions. A more absurd anomaly can hardly be oonosl9lllL -A -of the Compsny's Army might sommand thousands of her Mojesty's soldiers in Hindosta♦—aigbs cadet Courts.

But this should be regarded as merely Instalment of the debt of justice due to the Ho- nourable Compatty's Service. That army should be • a Hoye force, aiittfueOrpoisted . with her Ma jesty's. army •in every way. It is perhaps too much to expect that an English Ministry would all at once do what is right in so im portant a matter. We must rest contented for a time with what has already been done, and wait with patience for what has yet to be granted. But there are still a good many steps to be taken in i the same direction as the late memorandum. It is the first,—may the second soon follow. Justice has now been done in a more special manner towards the juniors of the Indian Army ; it is to be hoped that the seniors will not be denied what is due to their rank. Hitherto the General Officers of the Company's service have been most unjustly used. No matter what may be their qualifications—no matter bow long or how faithfully they may have served their honourable masters—they never can look forward to thehighestprizesinthecountry. They may command large armies in the field, but are allowed to command at either of the three Presiden cies. These loaves and fishes are reserved for General officers of the Queen's army who have good interest at the Horse Guards. At the present day the Commander-in-Chief in Bengal is Sir WILLIAM Gomm, a General officer chiefly remarkable for his partiality to the cool climate of Simla. During the whole of the last Burmese war, Sir Wirazut never came nearer to Calcutta—the port from whence all troops and stores were despatched to Rangoon—than 1,100 miles. His Excellency dislikes the heat of the plains, and never visits the latter save for a very short period of inspection during the cold weather. The present Commander-in-Chief of Bombay is a gallant soldier; but his thirty odd years' experience at the Cape of Good Hope can hardly be called a qualification that fits him for an Indian command. But he is a Sonelterr, and that fact covers a multitude of sins. At Madras, we have the Hon. General ANSON in supreme command—an officer who never was in India in his life until he went out there to take military charge of Southern India. In this command are included about sixty thousand native troops, all with habits, customs, anal prejudices which it takes the best years of a man's life to master and understand. No soldiers in the world are braver before the enemy than the Madras Sepoys ; but no men are more difficult to manage in times of peace. Amongst them the memory of the late Sir Thomas MUNRO is still so venerated, that on certain days they burn lamps and hang flowers round his statue. Sir THOMAS was a Company's officer, had passed his days amongst the natives of the Madras Presidency, and from under standing their peculiar notions learned how to manage them, and make them love him. But por tions of the very same army mutinied, because another General Officer—of the Queen's Service— ordered a change in the head-dress worn by the Sepoys. What may be General ANSON'S qualifications to command an army so peculiarly constituted it would be difficult to say, unless it is precisely because he never was in India before he went out to take command of the Madras Army, and came under the denomination of " a Court Favourite." The gallant officer is, no doubt, a good judge of a race horse, and has in his day seen a great many unfortunates dressed in what THACKERAY calls "that astounding costume which Engliah private gentlemen are made to sport when they bend the knee before their gracious Sovereign ;" but it is more than doubtful whether he knows much respecting the wants of Sepoys, or the best way of commanding a large Indian army. Yet it is for men like the Gonne, Ammo, and SOMERSETS, that the general officers of the Com pany's service have to make way. The distinctions and honours which the POLLOCK', Norms, and OCT BARS have earned in the field go for nothing, when the question of command at one of the Presidencies arises. This is anomaly number two that should be abolished; when it is so, another step will be taken towards amalgamating the Royal and the Indian armies. Until the latter measure is fully aceom plished, the British Army may be said to be split into two parts ; and—like all divisions of interest— its strength is greatly impaired thereby. Let us hope that more moves will soon follow the one an nounced in the last (Amite. The forces of India and England cannot be united too soon, if we really want to make the moat of the means at the disposal of the nation. Our glorious Indian Army must be a gainer when the united reign of red-tape and exclusive aristocratic influence comes to an end. And none will rejoice more at such an augmentation to their num bers than the great majority of the Royal Army. The puppies and "feather-bed soldiers" of the service may lament that " mere Company's officers" are ever allowed to rank with themselves; but the heroes of the Punjanb, the Cape, and the Crimea, will only be too glad to welcome amongst them a numerous body of tried men, as are the great majority of the Didion Army—a band second to none the world eves saw in all the qualities that should distinguish the soldier.—Daily News. DEATH OF SIR HENRY BISHOP. (From the Daily Newa.) In our paper of yesterday we mentioned the death of Sir Henry Bishop, which took place the night before. The public had learned only a few days previously, with painful surprise, that this most cele brated of English musicians —whom' name, for half 4 century, has been a household word among us-.. whose beautiful strains have gained nu bounded pop e , larity—whom our Sovereign, desiring to confer an honour on British art, had selected as its most worthy representative—and whose works have supported throughout Europe the character of the Engl go i s h school—that this man, of whom his countrfis deservedly proud, was s uffering the accumulated ills of old age, sickness, and penury. "The friends of 8i Henry Bishop," said an advertisement in the news. papers, "feel a painful, but unavoidable, I* cesaity for announcing that this estimable composer is at this moment labouring nud ge pecuniary embarrassment ; they feel deeper re. gret in stating that he is suffering h em acute bodily infirmity, without the slightest Marne for meeting his own immediate necessities, cre he making any provision for his two youngest children, a son and a daughter." It was therefore proposed to open a subscription to enable his friends to clear elf his difficalties, and make some economical err resents for the comfort of his remaining days. It was at the same time announced that a concert on a large scale, to be given at Covent-garden Theatre, was i s • preparation for the same benevolent purpose. F e the lamented musician himself, who has been relieved by the hand of Heaven from " all the ills which flesh is heir to," this aid has come too late; but we are most happy to learn that the design, both of th e su b. scription and the concert, is to be carried into effect for the sake of the helpless survivors who now mourn his loss. They are inter, sting children, twins, ah e m sixteen or seventeen years old; and we are sure that the death of their parent will quicken the general sympathy with their distress. It is sufficient to call the attention of the public to the steps now adopted in behalf of the children of the departed; for Bishop's merits are universally known, and his claims on his country will be at once recognised. In saying that he is the most celebrated of Brief; English musicians, we have said far leas than the truth. In the whole annals of the art in thin country , we find but one name which stands higher than his— that of the immortal Henry Purcell, whose anprenzacy in our realm of music is indisputable. The mamma most akin to Bishop is Arne. The greatness of both lies in the dramatic branch of their art; and both have enriched our national music with a multitude of beautiful melodies, which still delight us, and will delight our children and our children's children, so long as English music shall have a featihe of nation. ality remaining. But, on a comparison of the two, it will be found that the modern composer hu Burr passed his predecessor in the amount, the quality, L and the effect of his labours. We need eared' remind our musical readers that for many years Bishop was at the head of the English musical stage, l supplying it with an uninterrupted series of operas which were performed in every theatre; while the , beautiful songs, duets, glees, and concerted pieces which they contained, were circulated in thousands, and contributed to the social and domestic pleasure of every musical circle and family in the kingdom. And though, from the changes in the forms of dramatic composition, Bishop's operas are no loupe performed on the stage, yet numberless beautiful things, taken from them, enjoy as much favour in the concert-room and the social and family circle as ever. Advanced years, and changes in the condition of the ' musical stage, have long since put a period to his career es a dramatic musician ; and it would appear that the gains of his earlier and prosperous days have been gradually exhausted by the expenditure of his family—a thing which might happen to any man similarly situated, without leading to the imputation of extravagance or improvidence; and we feel ' assured that the unfortunate circumstances in which he has left his family require only to be known to ex cite the warm sympathy and active beneficence of his countrymen. Bishop is a native of London ; the date of his birth we do not find recorded, but it is understood to have been about the year 1786. He pursued his musical studies under Bianchi, a favourite opera composer, from whom he seems to have acquired that Italian cast of melody which so agreeably blends with and softens his own Engirds style. He became known u a composer about the year 1806, when he wrote the music of two or three ballets for the Italian Opera houee. His first opera, The Circassian Bride, was produced at l)ruty-lane on the 23rd of Feb., 1809, the day before that th• etre was burnt to the ground. Bishop's music perished in the flames, but it had been received with an enthusiasm which—from some fragments still extant, particularly the beautiful and yet favourite duet, "I'll love thee "—appears —appears to have been well deserved. His next opera, The Maniac, was produced the following year at the Lyceum: it never became popular, owing to the faults of the drams, but it contains some of the finest music he ever wrote. His reputation now obtained for bins the post of composer and director of the music of `Covent-garden Theatre—a poet which be held from 1810 to 1824 ; a brilliant period of his career, during which he produced the long series of dramatic works to which he owes his fame. In that time he wrote no less than fifty-eight pieces; producing generally five or six—and once eight—in a year. Many of them, of course, were trifles—burlettes, melodramas, &c.—audalmost all of them bore marksof the excessive haste with which, in compliance with the insatiable demand for novelty, they must have been composed. He thus certainly injured his own permanent repute doe; for, though all his walks contain marks of genius and passages worthy of a great artist, yet in many of them such passages are thinly scattered, and mixed up with much that is weak and commonplace. During that period, too, the music of the Italian and German schools was gaining a greater and greater ascendancy in our theatres ; and to this ascendancy Bishop himself contributed. He adapted to the English stage some of the finest operas of Mozart, Rossini, and other foreign composers, and by thus strengthening the taste for German and Italian music ultimately did prejudice to his own popularity. Unfortunately, too, in the later period of his career, he departed considerably from his own pure, simple, genuine English style; and by imitating these exotics-sometimes one, sometimes another—he too often divested his music of its native and.individual colour, clothing it, cameleou-like, in the passing hues of the day. After the termination of his engagement at Covent-garden, when Weber's Oberon was produced at that theatre in 1826, Bishop was persuaded to write an opera for the rival hone. Be accordingly composed Aladdin ' in which, while contending with Weber, he cop i e d his style even to its minutest peculiarities. The result was dis estrous .Aladdin, though written with care and pos sessed of many beauties, failed entirely, and Bis hop abandoned the musical stage. During the thirty years which have since elapsed. Bishop, though he no longer applied himself to**. made composition, did not discontinue the practice of his art. He gave to the world much beautiful music, consisting chiefly of songs and other vocal pieces for concert or chamber performance; and many of these detached compositions have bad as great a popularity as his music which was given to the world through the medium of the stage. lie also contributed to several valuable publications; par ticularly the "Melodies of Various Nations," the latter volumes of " Moore's Irish Songs," and the " Scottish Melodies," published by the late Mr. Thomson, of Edinburgh. Bishop long held the office of director of the ones celebrated Concerts of Ancient Music. He was for a short time Professor of Music in the University of Edinburgh, but resigned that office u incompatible with his other pursuits. He held at the time of his death the aca4Fmic chair of music in the UniTeetilif A memorial to the late General Caretou, executed by the sculptor Westanacott, is about te be placed in St. Mary's Church, Shrewsbury.
