On Monday next the Leviathan Company, which has so long nominally ruled over such important ter ritories—that controlled the dest 7 nies and regu lated the affairs of 150,000,000 of British sub jects—will cease to exist, and its authority will be transferred to our Most Gracious Sovereign Queen VICTORIA, her heirs and successors throughout all generations. It is a mighty change ; ono that required the most calm and attentive ' consideration, combined with a total absence of prejudice or passion. It would, indeed, have been . truly deplorable if the Anglo-Indian E npire could have been made the battle-field of contending parties ; if any undue influence had rendered the all-important task, which Parlia ment was called to discharge, more arduous or more invidious than it must necessarily have been. There was at one time great danger that such might have been the case. A formidable attack was directed against the Go vernment. It was, however, fortunately averted, and WQ rejoice to say that, from the withdrawal of that impending peril, the Government and both Houses of Parliament have faithfully and efficiently discharged their trying duties with a conscientious desire to legislate in the best man ner for the interests of Great Britain and of India, and to produce the best measure possible under existing circumstances. They have succeeded to a great extent ; and although there may still be some differences of opinion —as indeed there must be in every similar case—we believe that what has been accomplished will be hailed with all but universal approbation, as a decided improvement on the previous state of affairs. There had been five points of difference be tween the co-ordinate branches of the Legislature, and the Lords promptly and gracefully conceded three of the heads containing the more important objections, but persisted in their views on the other two matters, to which they invited the renewed at tentionOf the other House. The difference, indeed, was practically limited toa single point, inasmuch set that to the 54th clause originated in a miscon ception, as explained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his very clear and able speech on the subint. It had been decided by the Com utOis that, in case of an order to commence a foreign. war being sent out from this country, motice should be given to Parliament within one /month after such order, if it was then sitting—if Inot, within one month after resuming its sittings. *The Lords altered the one month to three months while Parliament was sitting, and that in any event three months might elapse from the date of the order to the time of communicating it to Par )iament. The reason was quite sufficient, inas- Znuch as it might not be convenient, or politi c , for the Governor-General to carry the direction into practical execution. It was therefore thought desirable that sufficient time should be afforded to receive an answer from the Governor-General be- Sore the matter was brought before Parliament, and thus virtually before our opponents, whoever they may be at the time, knew our intentions. This explanation was deemed 8(3 satisfactory that the House at once unanimously acceded to what was really an amendment. The remaining point related to the "vexed question" of competitive exArninationa in the sc i en tific branches of the Indian army. The state ments made by Mr. DISRAELI and Lord STANLEY, however, greatly narrowed the issue. The matter, !Weed, rested between' a " r ecommendation " and a positive " appointment," which seemed to be a distinction without a difference. The party re commended would, in every instance, receive the appointment. There would scarcely be a single instance where the recommendation would not be acted on, and then only on adequate grounds. The majority were satisfied with the high tribute paid to the competitive principle by the Right Honourable Gentleman and the Noble Lord. The former said,— " I trust the House will, therefore, consent to the amendment which the Lords have proposed to the 34th clause ; and I can only say, on the part of the Government, that in making that recom mendation we do it with the full and frank inten tion of establishing, with respect to the scientific branches, that wise and beneficial competition which will prevail in the civil service of India. It will be one of the first duties of my Noble Friend, if the House accedes to this proposition, to draw up regulations which will rule the exami nations in question, and which, when approved by her MAJESTY in Council, will be laid on the table of the House. They will then be open to the criticism and vigilance of the house, and when ever any alterations are made they will likewise be announced to the House. We shall then have the satisfaction of having established the competi tive principle by Act of Parliament throughout the whole civil service of India ; of having se ' cured to the great body of the community the free enjoyment of military patronage, by its dis tribution through a Council sympathising with them ; and of having at the same time secured the competitive principle even in the scientifie branches of the army, and that in a manner which no one can say has attacked. or weakened any prerogative or right of any person in this country, from the Sovereign on her throne to the humblest of her subjects." The President of the India Board spoke in a similar tone, and the House eventually adopted the amendment by a majority of 45 ; thus ter minating all disputes, and giving the legislative sanction to that which has truly been described as an act for the better Government of India. 12i Paid 10 St. 1 100 St. 100 St. 100 50 1 all 20 20 alaul 10 1 all 50 1 all St. 100 St. 1 100 St. 100 it. 100 Great dissatisfaction has been occasioned in mercantile circles at the clause to which we alluded in our leading columns of Thursday, and which practically deprives the much-required measure of its utility. Notice has already been given by Mr. NICoLL that early next session he will introduce a measure for the repeal of the ob noxious clause. Public opinion has already pro nounced an adverse judgment. A petition again s t the objectionable provision received the signatures of 600 leading L9ndon firms within two days. The banking interest should consider the matter closely before they oppose themselves to the wishes of their customers, and neutralise the value of a law calculated to exhibit the advantages of keeping " drawing accounts" in the strongest light, by affording complete protection to the drawers and recipients of crossed cheques. It would not be judicious to quarrel with those through whom they realise large profits, and they may rest assured that a decided preference will be given to bankers who announce the intention of not availing themselves of the loophole afforded for evading a fair and just responsibility. That such pledges will be offered seems certain. It may be given with almost perfect security by resorting to the precautions advocated in The Sun of Thursday. A very trifling additional outlay would provide a superior class of paper, from which the crossing could not be erased without leaving such marks as would at once be detected by any clerk of ordinary abilities. The best course would, however, be to issue books containing blank cheques on different coloured paper ; one class whereof should only be used for crossed, and the other for open cheques, and the crossing of the former should be prepared on the original document, so that it could not possibly be obliterated. The giver or reeeiver of one intended to be paid across the counter could not object to bear the responsibility he deliberately accepted. But the bankers should give ample protection to all who wished to avail themselves thereof.

It would econo mise the use of money, and render it unneces sary to keep such large balances of cash on hand. The great majority of cheques— all, indeed, of large amount—would be paid through the clearing house, and none are better able to form a sound judgment as to the beneficial effect that would follow the general, and all but universal adoption of such a course. We trust that such energy may be displayed by mer cantile men during the recess as to render certain the success of the important principle, and ensure the removal of a clause that renders what would otherwise be a very useful measure of compara tively little value.

The series of extra performances, at reduced prices, are attracting and delighting crowded audiences. The opportunity of hearing the finest operatic music at so very moderate a cost is a great bion to the numerous middle classes, and they eagerly avail themselves of the privilege. The last representation of Rossini's exquisite "Il Barbiere di Seviglia," was given last eveni,,g ; an d excellently rendered in most of its parts. Alboni sang with all the freshness and purity of her earliest days, and charmed -be ears of her appreciative listeners ; while Belletti, as the mercurial and spirited Barber, displayed the sound and rare musician—like qualities possessed by him, to infinite advantage. Signor Belart is improving considerably in his ex cution, but a little cars in the ex• ercise of his upper notes is requisite to prevent the deficiency i❑ perfect tone which is sometimes harshly audible in the alto passages. The opera was altogether most efficiently supported. To-night Mozart's great work of "Don Giovanni " will be performed with a good cast ; and will doubtless be attended by a full house. THE ALLEGED CRUELTIES. AT ACOMB HOUSE LUNATIC ASYLUM. YORK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. This day, at haf-st 12 o'cloc, T. S. Lutwidge, Es., and J. T. Wilke l s, E pa sq., two of k the commissioners from the Lunacy Office,' opened an investigation at the Station Hotel, York, into the charges implied against Mr. Met calfe, the keeper of the Acomb House " Retreat," near York, in the evidence given before a commission of lunacy which was held at York on Friday and Saturday last, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. Mary Jane Turner. Mr. Lutwidge, who presided, on seeing the reporters present, said this was a strictly private inquiry. Mr. Pemberton hereupon said that before the business of the court commenced he wished to be permitted, with all due respect to the court, to state that, Co far as Mrs. Tur ner was concerned, and himself, as her legal adviser, they desired that the fullest publicity should be given to these proceedings, Mr. Lutwidge remarked that the commissioners did not regard the proceedings as a court at all. It was nothing more than an inquiry of a private nature, and they pro posed to conduct it in the same manner as all simil.r in gullies were conducted by them. All they had to do was to receive the evidence that might be laid before them by the varions6 witnesses who would be called, and then lay the facts before the Lunacy Board. The present inves tigation, therefore, could only be regarded as a private inquiry. The reporters then withdrew, and the investigation was conducted with closed dcors. We under.tand that the prorogatio n will lak e pl ace on Monday next, instead o f on Tue sday, , had been intended.

A letter from Copenhagen of the 25th says : " M. Krieger, the new Minister of Finance, will for the future concentrate in his hands all the financial affairs of Denmark, Schleswig, and the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg, each of which is to contribute amordiug to its respective population, to the genet al expenses of the monarchy, that is, the army, navy, civil list, and allowances to members of the Royril Family. As the States of the two duchies have hitherto objected to contributing to the civil list, and to the allowances to the Royal Family, it is hoped in Denmark that they will not raise any opposition. The recent ministerial modification which has taken place here is regarded as a new step in the path of conciliation with the Germanic Confederation, and as certain to simplify greatly the relations between the administration of Denmark and the G, rman Duchies. It is now the duty of Germany to iespond to the spirit of conciliation displayed by Denmark, who cannot go farther without sacrificing her dignity as a free and independent State." JEDDAH. A letter from Constantinople of the 21st, in the ' Gazette du Midi, says :—" The Porte, on hearing of the Jodah massacre, at once perceived the necessity of acting wi.h vigour, and it hastened to intimate its intention to the English and Fiench ambassadors. Ism it Pacha, general of brigade, who distinguished himself in the campaign on the Danube, during the late war, is the person who was appointed commissioner extt a6rdinary. He left for Jeddah three days ago on board the steamer Teard. He is ins . ructed to proclaim martial law, to place the town in a state of siege, and to punish the guil y wilt the grew est rigou. A contribution of money will be imposed on 'he town, suffi iently elevated to indemnify the familits of the persons killed, and to make good the pecuniary losses of those who escaped. The concentra'ion of forces in Bosnia and Herzegowina is not intended for the purpose of making any fresh attack ou Montenegro, but by the determination of the Porte to put down one for all the petty Turkish chiefs who are so implac able in their hatred of Christians. The firm and frank language of Kiani Pacha to the assembly of Turkish and Christian leaders, held at lrebignen, sufficiently proves the views of the Porte, as on that occasion the menaces were addressed to the Turks and the promi-es to the Christians."

KING'S COLLYGE.—THE SOHOOL.—The annual distri bution of prizes for the school and schools in union with King's College, took place yesterday, in the pre sence of a crowded and fashionable assembl age. In the absence of the Bishop of London, the chair was taken by Mr. Cotton, who briefly addressed the assemblage on the p!easing duty which it had fallen to his lot to per form, inasmuch as the prizes intended for distribution were the result of admirable management of the schools, added to perseverance and study on the part of those instructed. Having spoken in eulogietio terms of the conduct of the schools, and having expressed his regret that the Bishop of London was unable to be present, th e chairman announced the commencement of the speeches. After the delivery of these, the prizes were distributed, There which taondthtehechmaieremtiang terminated with the usual compliment has been Mininga re action - markactivethisweek. mine Harriett—the caused the disaster at the last accou nt, when shares active dropped sudd en ly from 21. to 11., to the discomfort of reint bas Whealben the '• bulls," and now they have unexpectedly risen from Ito A, to to the annoyance of the " bears," who are said to be rather numerous. In other respects the market presents no novel or striking feature, and the business transactions have been about the usual average amount, and mosty confined to good dividend and progressive mines, mere ipeculations not having just now so much attention paid to them. If we could but ensure a continued rise in the standard for copper ores, and a better price for lead, there is little doubt a very active business would follow in shares; for, with plenty of money in the market, there is a great disposition to embark in English mines.

The return from the Bank of England completed to the 28th inst., is of a rather satisfactory charac ter, although there is little change of importance to notice in most of the items. The bullion shows a slight increase, and the other securities have de creased to about a similar amount. The reserve of notes has been augmented to the extent of about a quarter of a million, and the public and private deposits show some important alteration. The former has been increased over three quarters of a million, and the private deposits have decreased rather considerably. The active circulation shows a slight falling off, bat in the other items of the balance-sheet there is little variation of importance.

Money, although it is in rather more request, continues easy and abundant. The terms are without the slightest alteration. The directors of . the London Discount Company have issued their half-yearly report, from which the following is an extract :—The net profit after the payment of current expenses, making ample provision for loss on overdue bills, and allowing for the rebate of interest upon bills not matured, amounts to 10,8741. 7s. 6d. With so favourable a result the directors have deemed it advisable to write off the balance of preliminary expenses, amounting to 3,0001., thus leaving an available surplus of 7,8741. 7s. 6d. This sum enables the directors to recommend a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free . of income tax, which will amount to 4,5481.145. 2d., leaving a balance of 3,3251. 13s. 2d. to be carried to the next half -yearly account. The directors recDnicaend an addition of two to their present number, to be elected by the shareholders at this meeting.

This was the case of another of the Irish claimants as next of kin to the late Mrs. Shard, who died in 1819. The petitioner, Catherine Edgar, claimed as first cousin. His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, after examining very minutely the whole of the evidence laid before him in support of the claim, came to the conclusion that the petitioner had not made out her claim, and dismissed the petition with costs. His Honour said that there had been such a total failure to make out the claim that he would not allow any farther evidence to be taken in support of it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) THAMES. HEARTLESS AND SHAMEFUL ROBBERY.—Mr. I. Angell an officer of the City of London Union, introduced to Mr. Yardley a poor man, named John Thomas Gale, who has lost one eye, and cannot see much with the remaining one, for the purpose of giving informaion 0 a most cruel robbery. Mr. Widdle, the second usher of the court, stated that the unfortunate man Gale had been in the army, and served his country in the 54th Regiment, in the Crimea, wh.-re he was wounded. 0u leaving the 54th Regiment his comrades presented him with a very handsome cornet a-pi-ton, and being an excellent musician, he joined two other men, named Andrew Davison and John Maclean, and they roamed the country dressed in dark green uniforms with red' braiding. Their career as musician , . was pretty successful, until the Bth April last, when ,they lift Windsor for London, intending to proceed t , ) the south west of England. They stopped at Honnslow on their journey, and Gale went to the barracks there to visit an old comrade in the 11th Hussars stationed there, leaving his bag of clothes and his cornet-a-pi-ton with his c..mpanions. When Gala returned totne place where he left his brother musicians they were gone. The rascals took advantage of his temporary absence to decamp with his instrument and clothes. Gale proceeded towards London, and became (It stitute, and was admitted into the City of Lon don Union-house. Toe guardians had offered a reward of M. for the apprehension of the two thieves Davison and Maclean,and the recovery of the instrument. If the poor fellow could recover his cornet-a-piston, he would be enabled to obtain his own living The editor of the .Hue and Cry and Police Gazette intended to insert a de-oription of the thieves and a reward for their appre hension in that journal, but it was necessary before that was done that Gale shou.d swear to the truth of his statement and exhibit an information before a magis trate. Mr. Yardley commiserated the poor fellow and re ceived his information, upon which he would grant a warrant for the apprehension of the villains who had stolen the musical instrument. Mr. Angell said Gale was a well-conducted man, and that he had three brothers now serving in the army in India. SUPPRESSION OF INFAMOUS Houszs —Margaret Jamee, alias the Bloater, a fat and vulgar-looking wo man, Mon is Sheedy, her brother, Elizabeth Martin, and Mary Martin were brought up in the custody of Mr. Stock, beadle of Wapping, and Kitty, a police-constable, 130 11, who apprehended them last night, charged with wholesale trafficking in vice and prostitution. The pri son re are the proprietors of upwards of 100 infamous brothels in St. George-in -the-Bast, Wapping, and White chapel, and the most horrible outrages and robberies have been committed in their houses. The evil has be come so great that a society called the East London Association has been founded to repress profanity and vicel in the district, and on Friday the parish officers entered into the necessary recognisances to prosecute, and warrants were granted for the apprehension of the offenders. There was a warrant against Benjamin James, the husband of Margaret James, but the fellow abtoonded on Friday directly after the warrant was granted. Mr. Sidney, solicitor, on the part of the defendants, Benjamin and Margaret James, said if the prosecutions were abandoned then 25 brothels should be closed within 12 hours. Mr. Yardley—l have nothing to do with it at all. Any negotiations of that kind must be carried on with the overseers at the sessions. Mr. Sidney tendered bail to the amount of 101. for each of the four pri s oners. Mr. Yardley—Thii are wholesale keepers of brothels of the worst description, and I must have four sureties of 401. each. The wholesale traffickers in vice and blasphemy were committed in default of bail. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK.

It refers to the negotiations with the American G tvernment respecting the disposal of the ship and the adjudication of the reward for the discovery of Sir J. Frai,klin. Lady Franklin's protest against the late adjudication of the reward for the dis cJvery of the fate of her husband and his crew is included, but this is quite ont of date. The proceedings in the Legislature of the United States respecting the purchase and presentation of the ,Resolute to England are also reported at length. There are also other letters from Lady Franklin to the Admiralty (the last dated in April, 1857) rt-lative to the proposed private expedition to the Arctic regions. The answer of the (late) Govern ment to these communications does not appear, but the refusal of the Admiralty to risk any more valuable lives in wildgoose expeditions to the regions of perpetual ice has long since been recorded and approved of.
