' A despatch trout M. de Metternich has been sent to the In ternunclo, ordering hint to priNS, to supplicate. and even to menace •the Porte into an adoption of that course. It is expected that the • lase dreadful fire will conduce to subdue the wide of the Sultan ; but what grounds are there for entertainiog such It I.one ? Finally. one other version has been published at Vie mat out repeated in the L'ai •serell (;azte), which ought in an extreme rase to etntole the from Is • 431 peace, and of thing% ay they are. The retewt is that the Duke tat Wellington and Coolie NeNte!rotle, in the cohfcre,cys which Wei held at St. Peteraburgb. aimed upon the t..l.owing 1.

The great importance of our Indian empire is too gene ral!y admitted to require any proof. Whatever may have Leen urged by these who maintain the propriety of confin ing out empire to our insular possesdons, it is certain that ! it is necessary, in order to increase the tnarket fur our ma nufactures, that India should approximate to Europe in manners, or at Last in wants. It is desirable on this ac count, as well as for the improvement of the Hindus them selves, that India should remain, for some time, under European supremacy ; and it would be extremely disad vantageous to this country if any other nation were in possession of that supremacy. Every thing, therefore, should be done to secure this portion of our dominions. It is useless to expect that the Hindus, cr any other na ►ion, can ever be placed in a state in which no subject of discontent could occur. The present race of Bcngalese, accustomed to live under a mild and equitable government, secure in their persons and property, ignorant of that state of debasement in which they formerly lived, and already locking upon the land as their own which was formerly the property of their rulers, are no longer in the same situa tion as theirlathera, who hailed the introduction of British authority as a relief from the most pernicious of systems. The slight evils incident to every system begin to appear to the present generation in a more formidable light. They forget, in paying their taxes, that they had formerly to pay rents to their governors. Relieved from oppression, thvy begin sometimes to feel uneasy under necessary authority ; and, were it not for the characteristic pa tience of their nation, they might have carried the won:Ales, discontents thus festered by them, in com mon with every nation under every government, to trefull extent which some writers appear to anticipwe v.ith pleasure; and might have rit, ti against their foreign benefactors in favour of a native tyrant.. Such is human nature, even among the Hindus; and it is the duty of our Statesmen .o treat them as beings who share our nature— to calculate on their passions and weaknesacs as well es their good qualities—to convince them that they possess an interest in the continuance of our power—to identify them in some measure with our Government—and to remove all unnecessary distinctions or injurious regulations which may it. any way contribute to alienate them from our sovereignty. In all this, uo doubt, considerable progress ! has been made; but something still remains to be done. As his Majesty's Government is convinced dial no trade can be p•:rmar.ently beneficial which is not roundel! on the basis of reciprocal advantage, so they ars well aware that no Government, either at Jima or Ahmed, eau secure its 'Own interests without promoting those of the governeil. 'Every featrible veggeetiou f the improvenacitt of Inglis must be acceptable to all concerned ',Millie Citoernmillit of that vast country; but generaldeslarettors et grievances THE BRITISH PRESS. which often do not exist :It all, or exist there enly to the manic degree es in 'liter countries—wild and inconsidaate propositions, which have not lic,n duly digested and examititd in all their consequences—in short, most of those ! outragmus reforms which are urged upon us continually ! by the Oriental llcruld—woultl be of little use for the im ' proveme:nt of Hindustan, however dt eply they might be im- I pressed on the minds of her povernors. It would be ridiculous to establish in India a system of free Governinent that of England ; but we doubt not that our increasing Sc- ' (penitence with the menners of the Hindus will enable us to make several important alterations, some of which are already in progress. It would he for the interest of England that ev ry Hindu should be able to live as com fortably as an English peasant; because, in that case, there would be a wide► market for our productions. In the mean time, those who would persuade us that India is in a state of the most horrible oppression—those who take (7:ems's harangues against VsitnEs as their text-book, merely changing the names—however necessary they may timid the assumption for their eloqueneqtertilnly do not found their reasoning on any knowledge Of PO, or on any consideration of the real feelings of the people of India. A clear proof of this is cantainel in the Missionary Chronicle of this month—an authority which cannot be justly sus pected of political partiality, however much it may be open to the charge of weakness in other particulars. IVe copy the passage:— I AteGUMENT OT PANNEURCE• THE NATIVE TEACIIER. "Chitlith, after preaching at the maiket•pluce, in a• swering some of the objections brought against the Goyim!, the following argu ment of the native preacher seemed wonderfully to satisfy and please them (the Hinduv):—• You see. bre . hrem' said Itamlntr. rte, • since the English came into the country, ycur ietnp,ral cir cumstances have berm much intp•ovett. Vint know what a wilder. ness surroutidtd us ; what acts of outrage and injitstice were tinily cammitted ; but now you behold excellent roads nude to facilitate intercourse; you see seats of justice in the various districts, Hutu kcildars (or peace calkers) stationtd in every village, to keep your property and lives in safety ; and can ynti al:pposr that the persons who have thus disinterestedly labnitred to promote your present welfare ara come to deceive and injure you, in reference to a fature world? Rather judge that those who have thus exerted themselves to promote your temporal prisptril are also come to show unto you the way of salvation.' " This is the language of a native speaking to other natives. The argument must have been used by ReM nr►:aee as the most likely to make an impression on his auditors; and the effect which it produced appears to show that lie hail judged correctly. We place this testimony, therefore, in opposition to the attacks of the Orientu: If.lv/d, and leave the qutstion to be determined cn tba: basis. What a miserable prosptct for the country ! All the bobbles burst ! All the pushing Gentlemen left without a single scheme to push! All the gudgeons left wbhout a fly to gape at! How many Auttest, nay /entourette, gentle men must feel like fish out of water, deserted as they are by the stream of speculation which had so long rolled over them ! Now that all the minor projects are blown off, why not start a new South-Sea scheme, or a Charitable Corporation? But these are old names, and would not take. Mr. Wit.ss's scheme of a Grand Provincial Bank is far more eligible, and, with some new Honourable or Noble names at its head, instead of ‘VILKS and his asso ciates, it really seems to us extremely likely to sueceed, at a time when so much of the circulating medium is locked up. As to the Branch Banks of the B ink of England, they must be discouraged, because they would afford no vent for our surplus capital—no object for the speculating mania which, in the present state of the country, is a na tural want in the tnind of an Englishman. There is ; no war—no foreign loan—nothing to absorb the capital which has been accumulated in the country. It is almos t ; a pity that the National Debt cannot be extended. That would supply the means of employing our hoarded money. But it would be too much to expect Government to pay I interest on money for which it has no use ; though the scheme is certainly as proper for relieving our capitalists as a Treasury grant for raising useless public works would be for relieving our operatives. This, however, we would not insist apon. A Joint-stock Batik (or, still better, a coi llrctiou of Joint-stock Banks) is the only means for the sal vation of the nation. Ii the Government would authorize merchants to.lend money on goods on the same terms as the Bank of England, we were toll, some time ago, that they could have advanced twice the amount that the Bank could. Do but let them set to work, and establish Branch Banks, with full liberty to lend money, and manufacture money, on the same basis as the Batik of England. Above all, do not establish Branch Banks to come in competition with these private speculators. Let them get their motley laid out, with the hope of fifty per cent. upon it; let them have the pleasure of speculating for a few months on pre miums and bonuses. A number of separate Joint-stock Banks would be preferable perhaps to IV t.x Vs grand pro vincial scheme, because each might then have a capital equal to that of the Bank of England. It is unnecessary to ask whence the demand could arise for such a circula tion as these mushroom establishments could supply. It was quite time enough to ask where the Vigo Bay dollars lay after all the funds to raise them had been provided—and, some say, spent. There must soon be something fresh to speculate upon ; there is a demand for matter of speculatiou; and this demand must and will soon be gratified with something which may probably poncss a greater appearance of stability, but will in the end prove equally ruinous with our former projects. We cannot. flatter the hopes of the capitalists with any new mode otP employing their capital, unless at a considerable reduction of interest and profits. The Joint-stock banking pries tors will offer an increase of profits ; and our only surprise is that they have been so tardy in coming forward Ivith their schemes. Now is the time, however, to destroy at one blow the Branch Banks of the:Bank of England, by substituting Joint-stuck Establishments in their room. Then, and then only, can we hope to see these halcyon days return, when our ventures were scattered abroad to the four quarters of. Heaven, and our speculators wanted nothing to clown their good fortune but that it should be real and permanent. CITY, THURSDAY eYEKINCI. The sp culations in the British Funds to-day bare been of c nsiderable magnitude, and the porches...a made of Con sols, in the early part of it, had the effect of sending them tip to 80; for the present, and 80j for the November Ac count. This state of things became very alarmit.g to the Bears, who made a grand effort at dtpression, and were successful, for at the close of the day they did not realize more than SOU- for this Account, and 8024 for November. The Bears thundered forth the most disastrous statements as to the defalcation in the Quarter's Iterenus , , with an ex actness of particulate as to pounds, shillings, and pence, that at once threw discredit upon the whole. That there is a defalcation every one is aware ; but, as to its amount, that is impossible to be known, beyond a triere.estimate, end that made by persons not in possession of the details, as the Out-port R:tutua will not be closed until the last moment. Exchequer IliHa and India Bonds have both been in request to-day, and both show an advance of one shilling, the former being 17, 18, and the latter 31, 33. In the Foreign Market there has been some speculating in Mexican Bonds, in consequence of a report that events of an unpleasant nature had occurred in that country. On inquiry, however, the news does not appear to he of that alarming character which certain interested parties wished it to he considered. A private letter states that a division of opinion hail occurred in the Mexican Cabinet ; that M. EsTAva, the Minister of Finance, had tendered his resig nation ; and that the convoy that was about to leave Mexico for Vera Cruz, with money to he forwarded to i England, had been countermanded. M. Esinva is a very clever man, and his sViViel I will be a peat loss' to his country, should these differenct-s he not amicably settled. This information hail some effect on the Market, and Mexican Bonds retrograded about one per cent. ; at the eose of the Market, however, the alarm bad subsided, and the retutn of confidence place.) the Bonds at from GI ito 62.

The performances at St. Philip's church cominetreel this morning with Handers fine overture to " Esther," which is too well known to require a minute analysis. Mr. Bra bar; then executed the recitative in S .lurtsott," where he complains of his blindness (by, we b• li ee, the same cont. pose r). in a style that liter:Ally resembled an exe.:ution or murder of pod music ; that celebrated line in particular, " My very soul in real darkness dwells," he lininn:ed over with a negligent irsipidity, totally at variance with the in. tense feeling that Handel intended to pourtray. lie made ample amends, however, by his moth: of singing " Total eclipse," which follows. Mr. &litany gave as much tired as 0,1.2 limited compass of his voce (an agreeable counter tenor) would allow, to Handers " Brave Jonathan," in the t )ratorio of " Saul ;"hut as the air, though stamped with all the sub'ime recu!iar . ti.Js of Handel, has never been very attracti..e, at leest in England, we will not insist upon its merit S,lectiotl . from. " The Tod el , :su" (death of composed by Gratin foloweel, in which we w ere deeply impressed —as, itlest:l, were - almost all who heard them—wieh the thrilling grandeur of its chornsses. .1 richer treat than the opening, oie. of " The Lord bath prepared his seat," whether we consider its con tinuous, yet far more monotonous solemnity, or the ptr tett simplicity of its composition, was never yet expe rienced. But perhaps the most remarkable, featnre in dna selection was the recitative by Mr.l'hillips of ".'Tisdone;" be worked out the idea which Graun hail conveyed in Lis music, of the general convulsion of nature at the :bath of our Saviour, with the impressiveness the subject deserved, and even accompanied the words, " Ye sepulchres, give back your dead," not only with a dramatic expression of voice, but even of countenance. {Vermeil:inn tl:is fact, as it contrasts strongly with the uniform inert stupidity of his rival (Brabant's) countenance, who, whatever power he may impart to his lungs, preserves at least in his lines. !Dents all the dull vacuity of a true Boentian intellect— " Basdurn in rrns.To jarrtres acre Imt um." 31isa Travis, who, we were glad to perceive, seemed recovered from her yesterday's cold, was in unusually fine voice, and molted the trio, " Pour forth your Li ars," with Messieurs Kny. vett and Vaughan, so admirably ss to leave loth far he• . hind her in cens;eleratien of the audience. The " Tod Jesu" was follow..d by f e!ections, altered and imprcred (as it was somewhat to!elly said) from niters Sacred Drams of " Joseph," in which there was nothing very impressive but a pensive air sung by Madame Caraduri, entitled, How long are the days of his mourning l" Two lines of this, _ . . " Our Joseph was matchless in beaMy. Fair as morn o'er the hills when it glides, " were executed with a tenderness—ands softened 'retells. of tone, that none but a woman can give, and few bus her own sex can appreciate. Mr. 11.11nmy executed " The people throng about thy palace gates" Cr, diiahly in point of style, but " barbarously ungenteel," as far as action woo concerned. This gentleman (and we are well .acquainted with his style and manner of singing) always prefaizsn air with an application to his breeches pocket; why, or wherefore, the Power, as Sterne says, that made us , alert knows; the reason rests with himself and his coi.science. In the third part Mr. Brabant thrilled his audience ar UMW SS jib Handers "Jeplitlia's Vow." Of this subitice reci•arian, which seems to run through the gamut of the passions, di:playing, in turn, the rage, remcrse, tench nicer. vacillation, and fixed purpose of a parent who ha s s e w E d his child to death, it is difficult to speak in terms of com mon eulogium. Mr. Braliam, however, did justice to the composer, and, as the dying notes of his voice, iu the sir that class the recitative, " Waft her, angels, thee' alts skies," pealed among the vaulted galleries of this uotie church (for in a church alone should such divine harmful be heard), the effect amon3 the audience was electrical. In the evening a miscellaneous Concert, in two acts, teas given at the Theatre, in which we were delighted to tied that CaPcott—that wild end impressive gut us—was is high request. His " Li'e's Fay scenes' lost something in the hands of Vaughan; butjustice was afterwards done to his music in his well-known glee, for five voices, ' Thou art beautiful Queen of the Valley I" Miss Bacon (wile, by-the-by, is too close n imitator of Velluti) sung a thht with Caraderi, " Retain," from Meyerbeer's " Crorieo in Egitto," with a spirit that, io many instances, reminded ' us not only of Velluti, Luc of Catalani also. If this young lady would trust more to her owu powers, and lon to Moe 1 of others, we think she would improve by the experiment. fur we naturally give inure credit to a secondary original than a f rst-rate imitator. In Act 11., however, site 1 0,6 very successful in Rossini's " Elena, oh tu ;" so much so, inilieJ, AS to cause an evident regret among the author.: that she had so little to do. So much fur the vocal; lLe ! instrumental department of the Concert was equally veil sestYined. Kicswettcr, on his violin, delighted us with a concerto dial would have fully established his claims to the character of a peerless musician, had not Lindley mi ltested the palm with such spirit a. to leave the qtreAti" ; of supremacy daubtful. On the whole, we may say of both what the Mantuan poet said of his shepherds, "r 1 vitola to dignus, et hic." IVe subjoin the following glee; with which we shall closeout account Volt art beautiful, queen of the valley ! Thy wal's like silver sparkle to the son : klelodious wave thy groves ; thy garden meets Enrich the pleasant air.
