The division which took place on Friday re specting the number of the Council was a decided triumph for the Government. They had a majority of 67, there being 243 in favour of the resolution that it should not con sist of more than 15 members, while Lord JoHN RUSSELL'S amendment, limiting the number to 12, only found 176 supporters. This was one of the chief points of difference between the rival bills, and it will be seen it has been decided by a con siderable majority in favour of the Governmett. After that division, which indicated the relative strength of the parties, the minimu m number of the Council was fixed at 12, and it was also una nimously decided that " the principal portion of the members of the Council should have served or resided in India for a term of years to be limited by statute." This judicious arrangement will ensure competent men, possessing a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in the management of Indian affairs, and therefore well qualified to d vise the responsible Ministers on every point . that may arise. It will prevent the office, which will be more sought after from the patronage than the salary, being given to men utterly igno rant of the affairs of the vast territory, in the control and management whereof they will exer cise such extraordinary influence, or being se lected from motives of favour, without regard to their qualifications for the office. • This evening the consideration of the resolu- tions will be resumed. The great point to be decided is, whether the elective principle shall be adopted in reference to any portion of the Council. It is strange th a t it i s th e so - ca ll e d Tories who de sire to infuse the popular element into the Council, while p se udo-Liberals, or rather the Whigs, de sire its exclusion. It will thus easily be ascer tained which are best entitled to the denomina tion of Liberals, and to the votes of the indepen dent members who have not arrayed themselves under either of the rival parties. This evening will probably decide the Subject, BO that the public may form their own opini ons. Sh ou ld the it ced elective principle be ca rr i ed: le elect e d p ro p o sed that one-half at the least of, th e members shall p ossess the qualification expressed in the fourth resolution--viz., that of service or residence in India for a specified term of years, while, as a general rule, the members of the nomi nated portion of the Council shall be selected, subject to that qualification. The next point to be decided will be the rut,' SUN, nature of the constituency who are to choose the elected members. It is proposed that it shall be composed of persons who have previously held military commissions or civil appointments in India in her MAJESTY'S service or in that of the Government of India, or who may possess a direct interest, to an amount to be specified, in some property charged or secured on the revenues or territories of India. This will be the basis of the franchise. Wo confess that we greatly regret that the first inten tion of giving representatives to some large towns trading largely with the East has been abandoned. Men may have a considerable interest in the wel ' fare and prosperity of the Anglo-Indian Empire, may possess the most accurate information as to its wants and wishes without ever having trod its soil, or possessing any securities charged on its revenues. The addition of the mercantile element, as proposed by the Government in the first instance, would be a decided improvement, not setting aside any of those contemplated by the resolution, but making a large and valuable addi tion to the constituency. It may now fairly be anticipated that no further efforts will be made to give a factious character to the proceedings, and that the inte rests of India and of the United Kingdom—for they are indivisible—will alone be looked to. The Whigs, albeit with a bad grace, have acquiesced in the inevitable necessity of retaining the present Government, which has hitherto given so much satisfaction to the nation, that an appeal to the country would be decisive in its favour. They can only inflict petty wounds, or indulge in— " The whi.pered hint, the shrug, the hum or ha — The petty brands that calumny doth use." Their organs are obliged to content themselves with indicating the acts accomplished, or that will be accomplished by their means. The Jew ques tion is virtually disposed of, the property qualifi cation abolished, and there are strong grounds for hope that the Church-rate difficulty may he sur mounted even during the present session, and the county franchise considerably extended, on the principle indicated by Mr. LOCKE KING. We have had the differences with France settled in a manner creditable to both nations, have ob tained the liberation of Mr. HODGE, and not only the liberation, but handsome com pensation for WATT and Perm, and the restoration of the Cagliari and her crew. These are great achievements ; and surely the community at large have reason to be thankful for the change which substituted Lord DERBY for Lord PALMERSTON Lord MALMESBURY for Lord CLARENDON. Mr. DISRAELI—whose budget won the approbation even of the Palmerstonians—for Sir G. C. LEWJS —Sir JOHN PAKINGTON for Sir C. WOOD—Lord STANLEY for Mr. VERNON SMITH, and Lord CHELMSFORD for Lord CRANWORTH• The leaders of the Liberal minority—the men who taunt Lord DERBY with governing by a mi nority, and who yet, being themselves in a mino rity of sixty to two hundred and twenty, assume to head what they call their party—these mine- i rity opposition leaders have at last taken fright. Last Tuesday all these great men—Lords PAL - MERSTON and RUSSELL, Sirs G. C. Lewis and CHARLES WOOD—all voted against the Ballot, and enjoyed the enviable honour of giving a majority of ninety-seven to the party to which they are opposed. That party, of coarse, acted reasonably as a party. How ever much we differ from them on the Ballot, we cannot deny their wisdom in keeping together. We have reason to know that there are those among the Conservative party who do not object to the Ballot, but they either voted with their party or kept away. The great Whigs could not, on Tuesday, condescend to that. Like a great monarch of old, they would say, "The Liberals—we are the Libe rals." They found out, however, their mistake. They learned that, if they were the Liberals, then there were no such beings as Tories, for, one and all, they found their great names associated with all the good old representatives of landlord-ridden counties and pocket boroughs. They counted up their numbers, and, behold ! they were just sixty against two hundred and twenty-two, whom they had deserted. What should they do ? They would fain. have persuaded themselves that wherever they were, there was the Liberal party. Would not the country, on looking over the division lists, believe that the names of RUSSELL and PALMERSTON must prove any divi sion list to be a liberal one ? Unfortunately, the country would look at the tellers and see the names of Sir W. JOLLIFFE and Col. TAYLOR ; it would look again, and find not only the names of B. DISRAELI, Mr. WALPOLE, and other reason able Conservatives, but those of all the old im moveable Tories—many even of the celebrated fifty-three who gave extreme unction to Protection in 1852. No ; the country would never be per suaded that that was the Liberal list ; it would not believe that the great Whigs had brought over such a host of Tories, and such Tories too ; it would, it must believe, that PALMERSTON, RUSSELL, and Co., had gone to the Tories. That would never do! It would strengthen the present cry of " No difference between Whigs and Tories." People would surely say, what should we turn out the Tories for, if when we are most in earnest for a Liberal measure, they and the Whigs act heartily together. Some thing must, therefore, be done. The Whigs must try and make-believe that they are not Tories. Now, we are not in the secret as to when the meeting was held. Whether, as before the CARDWELL resolution, there was a Sunday meeti ng at Cambridge House, or whethe r two " Lords" and two " Sirs" had a pleasant dinner and champagne together, or whether the lobby of ;the House of Commons sufficed—having no secret-service money to spare, I we have no spy reporters, our functi onar i es o f that class reporting only what every man has a right to know—but somehow an understanding was come to. There was Mr, LocKE KING'S County Franchise Extension for the 10th --could not th at be made to redress th e awkward appearances of the 2a ? True, under one pretext o r an other, they had all managed to vote and speak against it before, but pretexts might be, found to vote for it now. First, and chiefly, it would not give independence to the counties ; the new voters would, in fact, be al most all of them, even those in the small towns, in the power of the landed gentry. Next, though it is almost the same thing, it would not make the voter absolute master of his own vote. Again, they could spoil the thing in committee, a fact PALMERSTON rather awkwardly let out. Then they were quite sure the Lords would not pass ;: v —they would have been plagued enough already with liberal measures. It would look nicely libe ral, yet, so far as t l 2,eir intentions went, there should be no lih,r a li sm in it. The For the second r eading of t i tle bill, therefore, they would vote. Y would then, at least, for once in the session, be separated from the Tories, join again the Liberals, and be once more in a majority. So on Friday forth came the division lists, and the four leaders of the Liberal minority had actually joined the Liberal majority, and saw themselves therefore in a majority of fifty-eight in the House of Commons itself. They, no doubt, felt more comfortable ; yet the looks of some of the staunch Liberals must almost have said to them, " What ! you with us again ; what does it mean 1" We hope you will keep here now you have got here." Well, they will keep there IF the staunch Liberals do but "give them a bit of their mind." If they give the ex-leaders to understand that, being the Liberal majority, they do not intend to be danced about by a small minority any longer—if they tell them plainly—We mean to have our measures carried, and if you don't carry them the Tories will or shall—if they point to this session and show them how much the independent Liberals have gained by letting the Tories in—if they assure them that they would rather have the Property Qualification for members of the House of Commons abolished, the Jews admitted to Parlia ment, and a Church-rate Abolition Bill sent up to the Lords than the Whigs in office—if they finally let them know that carrying the Ballot is the only condition of return to office, then the Four and their followers will keep, where they appeared on Thursday night, at the head of the Liberal majority, and may in due time find their way bask again to power. As it is, they have plenty of time for repentance. By voting against the Ballot they have excluded themselves for this session, and they will have till next February to show by their conduct that they are real penitent. Tho country has noted the change in position of the Liberal ex• Ministers on Thursday night. It knows full well the reason ! Their conduct, then, must be veryex emplary. There must be no vacillation in com mittee, no shirking the most liberal view of the clauses ; no dividing on any of them with the Tories against the majority of Liberals, or we may assure them that all is up with them. We do not want to drive away our worthy old leaders, but we want them to do two things, or we must utterly renounce them—they must vote with the majority of the party through whom they would rule, and they must associate some of the popular advanced Liberals with them in the next Cabinet. The Leviathan has, during the last fortnight, been daily "on view" at ber moorings. For a magical half-crown, procurable at Mr. SAMS'S Library, at any reasonable hour between morning and evening, the Londoners have been enabled in swarms to be whirled down by railway, or in shoals to be floated down by water conveyance, to that particular spot between Blackwall and Dept ford where the great monster steam•vessel rides at anchor—an object to every one who sees her of perpetual wonder and admiration. Although the mammoth ship is still so far from a state of completion that it is calculated it would take a thousand men five months' unceasing toil day and night to fit her out entirely—there is still, in all conscience, quite enough of her visible to enable any reasonable mortal to arrive at some adequate notion of her matchless magnitude and of her unrivalled magnificence. When Sir CJusAcK RON EY' S ingenious scheme for carrying out the original project without any fur ther delay whatever shall have been consummated as vigorously as it has certainly been commenced —not very much, we fancy, will be left then to mere conjecture. The stupendous reality will then tangibly and palpably surpass the day dreams of all the day-dreamers who have ever had romantic visions of what might ulti mately, by a stretch of the imagination, be accom plished in regard to the possible wonders of naval architecture. We shall then have before us, if we pay another visit (as who will not ?) to The Leviathan, when absolutely completed—what is now at this moment there most majesticallyfore shadowed. There already, in that gigantic hull, is the symmetrical structure of a ship made out of 30,000 wrought-iron plates, knit together by iron rivets, numbering exaatiy 3,000,000 ! There, in other words, is an iron ship, the mere shell of which weighs fully 10,000 tons ! A vessel, in her length fully 700 feet, or, in other wo r d s , from stern to stern, measuring along that clear flush deck, fore and aft, one-eighth of a mile ! In breath, 83 feet ; so that, without her paddle boXes, she would stick in passing through one of the broadest streets of London—Pall-Mall ; while with her paddle-boxes, measuring as she then does 120 feet, she would come to a dead lock in going down the broadest street , of all in London-- Portland-place. Remove one of her outer funnels and lay it horizontally on the ground—and a man, six feet high in his stockings, c.)ulcl walk up-right through it without rubbing the top of his head bald iu the process. Unship one of those Brobdignagiau patine wheels, and try, and you would try vainly, will all Mr. COOKE'S horses, and all Mr. COOKE'S men (for the diameter of the wheel is considerably the larger) to depssit it iu the circus of ASTLEY'S Amphitheatre. Collected together, and weighed in the balance of some good-natured Cyclops—the anchors and wire-wrought cables alone weigh 253 tons alto gether 1 But then her anchors are to be 10, and her chain cable is to be measured oat to the tune of 800 fathoms. Remember, for a moment, that the Leviathan is constructed to be worked alternately, or all at once, by wind and steam, by canvass, paddle wheel, and screw propeller. Considering her capacity as a sailing-vessel, it is not surprising, surely, to find that four at least of her six masts are to be made of hollow wrought iron, that three out of the number are to be square-rigged, with iron spars ; that the rigging is to be of wire, and that the huge shrouds of this material are to be 81- inches in cireurnfer- For the handling of capstans and warps there will he a crew of 350 sailors and engineers ---to whose aid, however, will come the power of cer tain auxiliary steam engines, for the purpose of working pumps, heaving anchors, and hoisting sails—sails capable of spreading forth 6,500 square yards of canvass. - It would be idle, we have seen, to dream of fitting one of her paddle-wheels within the circus of Astley's Amphitheatre. It is not at all surpris ing, therefore, to find that a diameter of 24 feef : has been given to her screw-propeller, 'which is to have, moreover, a weight 150 tons, and a length of shaft of 10,; ( - 4 foot. As thoy are to b e b roug ht into boilers and o f 100 fur naces. the b y cli t t the a aid ta of g in 10 ' They stand 50 in h e i g h t, th©y are to give, at a pressure of 251 b. to the square inch, a total average of 2,600-horse power, though capable, if requisite, of being worked to a f orce of upwards of 10,000 horses. No wonder the speed to be realised is esti mated at 16 knots, or, in other words, 20 miles an hour—the whirl of a railway ! So that, at any rate, in one month's time by the Cape of Good Hope, might be accomplished the whole ence. LONDON MONDAY EVENING, JUNE l4, 1858 voyage from England to India, or from England to Australia. Supposing—what is notnow so very extraordi nary to suppose, seeing that the chief difficulties have been already conquered that the principal part of the work (the solid iron framework) has long ago been successfully, triumphantly com pleted—supposing the Leviathan to be now upo n the eve of her first voyage. She might, in a month, take an army of 10,000 men out to the shores of Hindostan. Or, supposing she restrict herself to her ordinary complement of 4,000 pas sengers—viz., 800 first-class, 2,000 second, and 1,200 third-class passengers. She would carry, besides 18,000 tons more is coals and cargo— giving a burthen of 25,000 tons----the weight of Ithe whole ship when voyaging. Although under these complicated circumstances drawing 30 feet of water, she will still tower above the watiat's edge 30 feet additional. Gas being constructed on board—by gas will she be lighted. From her mast-bead during the night-watches, while she is coursing at the rate of 20 miles an hour across the ocean-depths, there will flicker resplendently the electric light —messages being always transmitted, day and night, from the captain to the helmsman, the engineers,thelook•out men, above, below, fore and aft, by means of the electric telegraph. And for the realization—for the whole scheme is already virtually in a great measure, indeed, actually realised—the Eastern Steam Navigation Company are indebtel to the energy of how many gifted and enterprising men, each in his distinct department ! For the original conception of this mammoth steam-ship—to Mr. J. K. BRUNEL, the distinguished engineer : For the design of her lines, and the construction of her metal hull —to Mr. SCOTT RUSSELL, the eminent ship builder : For the fabrication of her huge screw propeller, and the application to it of the requi site motive power—to Messrs. JAMES WATT and Company of Soho, the famous enginewrights. For the responsible and difficult office of super intending the general fitting out of the sea mon ster—to the gallant skipper of this largest ship in the world, Captain HARRISON : For the general management of the whole of the complicated arrangements—to Mr. JOHN YATES, the Com pany's intelligent and indefatigable secretary. Thanks, now, to the admirable suggestions of Sir CUSACK RONEY, the day is not so far off, after all, when we may hope to visit Blackwall anew, under yet more interesting circumstances, when the "Empress of the Waters" will quit her moorings on her first voyage, and when we may bid GOD speed on that first voyage, to the world's wonder —The Leviathan.

The production of Verdi's "Luisa Miller," although affording strong itestimony of Mr. Lumley's desire to present his pAtrons with every possibly variety, cannot be considered as among the most successful efforts of the season, and the manager is wise in substituting other and far better operas. Verdi's Luisa may "do once in a way," but commend us to " Luerezia Borgia," La Figlia del Reggimento, Don Giovanni, and such choice works as the company at this house are thoroughly qualified to present in a high degree of excellence, rather than to the second-rate operas of a Verdi. Such singers an Alboni, Titiens, Belliti, Giuglini, and Beneventano are worth hearing in first-class music, and crowded and bril lant audiences bear witness that they fully appreciate the numerous and sound works prepared for their en joyment by Mr. Lumley. La Figlia del Reggimento will be repeated to-morrow evening, and on Thursday " Luoreala," with its unusually strong cast will be given.

Perhaps there is no opera more calculated to please a general audience than Auber's "Fra Diavula," which has been produced at this theatre for the firA time this season. The story of it is romantic and interesting, with sufficient dash of wickedness to give it stage Effect, and enough of amusing caricature to propitiate the taste of the laughter-loving ; while the more important feature—the music—is flowing in melody, and conaL tent in rxpression. It yields no heavy " adagi ," cr "andante" movements of wearying longevity —no as tounding complexity of elaborated composition, but affords throughout, a sparkling and attractive entertain ment, well adapted to win the cordial admiration of audiences on such nights as the present ones, when Beethoven's "Fislelio," or" Meyerbeer's "Huguenots," might be too trying for mortal nerves. The cast is the same as that of last season at the Ly ceum, and we question if a better one could be g iven to it. Madame Bosio's voice and style are perfectly suited to the role of Zerlina, and the extraneous passages in troduced by the composer peculiarly for this lady, receives the most brilliant and spirited treatment from her. Madile. Marai is an excellent Lady Alleash, as regards both the musical and dramatic impersonation ; and Ronceni's humour and vivacity have ample scope as the absurd, full-pocketed, empty-headed, travelling noble man. His comical gestures, and broad, ridiculous ex hibitians of folly, prove him to be as much a disciple of Momus as of Apollo, and draw forth aristocratically modified rounds of laughter ; while in the singing he leaves nothing to be wished for. Gardoni is scarcely rough and black enough for the bold bandit, an d a touch more of the 0. Smith school would wonderfully improve the character ; but the music could not be given with greater taste or more exquisite skill. The sound musical talent and knowledge of this artiit are Valuable qualifications in the concerted parts, and render him a powerful auxiliary to the general excellence and smooth finish of the opera, while his solos are speci mens of the most delicious lyrical singing that can he heard. His airs of "Pei Runerar" and " Agnes° la Zi letta" are delivered with touching purity and tender dashingly tied admirably em bodied. Nen Baraldi is ness ; and the fine, spirite d air, " S u e r ci ea u t or c l ar b e ra a v n i d ," r‘v is . s t p h e e e r f u o r n g h i i s o c r o e m n z l o ) 0 , s a e ; d ; abluvtgB with a tithe m s p or a e rt.io The ta whole l elixir would add much to the effect of hi atno i .m w o i r ll ro d w oub e t v l e e n ss ing h . ave H " e a r r o u p D e is l a t "great will b e success," repeate Majesty honoured the performance with her presence ; among the visitors we observed — The Duchess of Wellington and Lady Julia Hay, the Duchess of Montrose, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Earl and Countess of Winchilsta and the Ladies Finch-Hatton, the Earl of Coventry, the Earl anl Countess of Bessborough and the Ladies Pon sonby, tha Earl of Gifford, the Earl and Countess of L &TEST NEWS. INDIA. The following despatch has been received at the India House : _ _ _ Received Saturday, 12th June ; dated Malta.) To J. D. DICKENSON, ESQ., ALLAHABAD, MAY 10. OUDE. Since my last message there has been no event of importance in Oude. There have been no distur bances, and a great portion of the province appeared to be settling down. The Ghoorkas have reached Fyzabad, and on the 6th half of them had crossed the Gogra. They have met with no opposition on their way. BENARES DIVISION. The Jou npore and Azim ghur districts are reported quiet. At Belwah, in the Gornckpore district there is stil a collection of rebels, and in consequence of a movement by the forces under the rebel Nazim Mahommed Hussein, and others, which threatened to interrupt the communication with Goruckpore. Col. Rowcroft retired to Gunje. He has since been reinforced by the head quarters wing of H.M.'s 13th Light Infantry, with two guns. ALLAHABAD DIVISION. General Whitlock is still at Banda, where be awaits the arrival of Brigadier M‘Duff's columns. On the -- a band of rebels from the opposite side of the Jumna surprised the police post and the Tehseel, established at Lallpo - )r of the Cawnpore district. The Tehseeldar was wounded. One of our men was killed and some treasure was lost. AGRA. DIVISION. There is nothing of importance to communicate from thin division. All is quiet, except at Etawah and Etab, and there the rebels have been defeated in several skirmishes, losing two of their leaders, and have become less troublesome. MEERUT DIVISION. This division remains perfectly tranquil. ROHILOUND DIVISION. The Bignour district is said to be perfectly tran quil, and our authority has been thoroughly re established in it, as reported in last message. The city of Moradabad was reoccupied on the 26th ult. by the Roorkee column, which has since reached. Bareilly, as will be further noticed below. Confi dence has been restored throughout the district of Moradabad, and the inhabitants of the city, who had fled, are returning in great numbers. BUDAON DISTRICT. • The force under Brigadier Penny, after crossing the Ganges, marched on Kukrala, 10 miles from Budaon ; the General and his staff were in advance, and came upon a body of Horse, which they at first took to be a portion of the baggage guard which had marched by a more direct route on the flank of the column. The General rode towards it, and when at 30 yards' distance four guns opened with grape on the party. Gen. Penny shortly after was missed, and the command devolved on Col. Jones, her Majesty's 6th Carabineers. Our troops quickly came up, and the action ended in the total defeat of the enemy, one gun and two limbers being cap tured. It is not known when Gen. Penny was wounded ; but his body was recovered after the action close to Kukrala. It appeared that his bridle arm had been broken by a musket-ball, and his horse had then taken fright and carried him close to the town, where the rebels rushed upon him and cut him up with their swords. The troops which had composed Brigadier Penny's column marched, after the action at Kukrala, across Rohilcund to their own risk (right ?). and joined the force of the Commander-in-Chief on the 3d inst. Shahjehanpore was occupied without opposition on the Ist May by the Commander-in-Chief, who had joined Walpole's column. Next day his Excellency, leaving a small garrison at Shahjehanpore ' marched on Bareilly. On the 3d of May a large body of rebels, headed by the fanatic Moulvie of Lucknow, came down from Mohundie, in Oude, cut up a picket of De Kantzow's Horse, plundered the city, mas sacring many of the inhabitants, and compelled the garrison to take shelter in the intrenchment round the wall. Our troops aro believed to have a supply of provisions, and will, in all probability, hold their own against the rebels, who are closely blockading them, until relief is afforded. Brigadier- General Jones, by order of the Commander-in chief, marched with a strong force towards Shaje hanpore on the Bth inst. ; he is expected to arrive there to-day. Bareilly was attacked on the Gth by the columns under the Commander-in-Chief and Brigadier-General Jones. The rebels were driyeu into the city with the loss of several guns. The city was entirely occupied by our forces on the 7th inst. CENTRAL INDIA AND RAJPOOTANA. Sir Hugh Rose has defeated the rebels at Koo neh, killing 400 or 500 men. The remnant of the enemy will, it is said, make a stand near Calpee. At the requisition of Sir Hugh Rose, who was ap prehensive that Jhansi and his rear might be threatened, General Roberts has despatched a field brigade, consisting of one regiment Europeans, one regiment Native Infantry, one wing Bth Hussars, one squadron Ist lancers, and one troop Horse Artillery, which will operate towards Gochnah. General Roberts, with the rest of his force, has marched towards Neemuch. A court of inquiry has been hehl on the Maharajah of Kotab, to in vestigate his conduct in connexion with the murder of the late political agent, Major Burton. Tho proceedings have been completed and submitted to Government. No British force has bean left at Kotab, nor has any political agent remained there. NAGPOR E.

The Cernmi3sioner has moved out a force against the rebels, and taken the neces6ary precautions. PUNJAB. On the 25th Sir Sydney Cotton destroyed Parinilr, in Eusuzye, and Chenghe. On the 2(i;h the robber chief lost much property. On the night of the 27th-28th of April Sir Sydney Cotton and Colonel Edwards ascended the Muhabou mountain, on the right bank of the Indus, and de stroyed the stronghold of a noted chief. On the 4th Sitana was destroye tby the same force. Tile Hindostanee fanatics fought with determination, and were cut to pieces. Our loss—four nativt s killed and twelve wounded. BENGAL, BEH.X.R. Her Majesty's 84th Regiment, with two gum and 100 Sikh cavalry, are at Arrah. Sir E. Lugar d. marched on Arrah on the 7th, and intended to at tack Jugdespore on the 9th. Colonel Corfield was to co-operate at Sasser-am. The rebels under Ummur Singh, the brother of Kooer Singh, aro believed to number from 7,000 to 9,000 men, mostly villagers. They have one small gun and our two howitzers. Kooer Singh is now believed to be still alive. All is reported quiet in the oth-r parts of the Patna division, G. F. EDMONSTONE, Secretary to the Goverment of India, with the Governor-General. SUPPLEMENT TO MR. SECRETARY EDMONSTONE'S MESSAGE, DATED MAY 10. Sir E. Lugard attacked the rebels at Donstan pore on May 9, and drove them before him to Jugdespore, which place . he entered on the same day. The enemy, having sustained severe loss, retreated to the southward, and abandoned the two guns they bad captured from the Arrah force. Sir E. Lugard entered Jaitpore on May 11, after repulsing an attack of the enemy ; on May 12 he formed a junction with Colonel Coach]. at Perou, and on May 13 returned, hearing that Major LiOtfoot, who had been left at that place, had been attacked by the rebels.

Information was received at Goonah on May 14 that 5,000 rebels had stormed and retaken Chundaree, which had been left by Sir H. Rose in charge of Scindia's troops. The re- ROYAL PRINCESS'S THEATRE. We may, without the slightest hesitation, pronounce the "Merchant of Venice ' "produced when Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean took their benefit on Saturday night, to be the most remarkable of all the Shakesperian "revi val," that have made the Princess's Theatre one of the principal wonders of the metropolis. Our great trage dian has had an entirely new ground to work upon, an entirely new class of objects to present. Venice is not Italy—it is something altogether distinct in itself—but never till now have all its distinctive peculiarities been put upon the stage so as to stand perfectly defined before the eyes of a London audience. During - the time that the play lasts we literally live in a world of canals and bridges, save when we take a trip of twenty miles to that fanciful Belmont, where the lovely Portia resides, and vary the delight we have received from the contemplation cf architectural miracles, enlivened by a living pomp and gaiety that have long since passed away, by gazing with the lore-stricken Lorenzo and Jessica at the stars that sparkle over the loveliest of landscapes. We roam on the margin of the waters, and when the gallants of the play pass and re pass in gondolas, se real does the new state of existence become to us, that London is entirely forgotten. Some magic spirit has transported us to a region where we can listen to the difficulties and aspirations of a real Bassanio, can hear a real Gratiano talk an infinite deal of nothing, can watch a real Lorenzo breathing vows of devotion to his Jewish love—that magic spirit is Mr. Chas. Kean, who has wafted us to so many regions, earthly and imaginary, showing that time has no power, space is no obstacle, when set against his determination to snake present the distant and the past. How gorgeously does the Queen of the Adriatic rise to view ! The first removal of the curtain reveals the place of St. Mark, peopled by countless vendors of humble merchandise, and by opulent merchants, who wander mysteriously together, talking doubtless of freights and " argosies," and such like topics of medi ceval commerce. The ordinary business of the day is interrupted by the clang of trumpets—the Doge passes with his lordly retinue, a canopy shielding his august head from the invasions of the sun. The development of the plot has scarcely begun ; but we are already deep in the Venetian life, in the midst of which the action is to take place. After tarrying a little while at Belmont to listen to Portia's pleasant railing about her hateful suitors, so charmingly uttered by Mrs. Charles Kean, we find ourselves on the Rialto 'eland, on the Venetian 'Change, and hear Shylock gravely weighing the risks that may attend the loan of 3,000 ducats. He looks the ideal of the cautious, calculating money-lender, but the eye of the public has pierced through his gaberdine. This hard, extortionate usurer must forget his character awhile ; the plaudits of the public force him to acknow ledge that he is Mr. Charles Kean, the most munificent of managers, the creator of those wonders of scenic art that greet the eye from every corner of the stage. The great tragedian may henceforth employ all the secrets of his art—may show us the rage and grief of Shylock, impressing us all the time with the grand truth, never so clearly revealed by any other actor, that the Jew was still a man ; but at this moment he must be him self, and hear our expressions of gratitude for the privilege of beholding such an expanse of ever• varying beauty. Expanse 1 Expanse iu the small Princess's Theatre ? Aye ; here especially is the greatness of Mr. Charles Kean's managerial genius displayed. He has not a large stage, like those on which effects far inferior were produced in the dap of the national theatres ; but the narrow limits in which he is placed flee before the vastness of his ideas, and the floor of the Princess's expands into a bread plain that may be intersected with canals, or covered with battling armies, without any discrepancy discoverable by the eye of the entranced spectator. Again to the house of Portia, and this time to the saloon, a wonderfully fine set scene in which the caskets are preserved. Portia sits like a queen around the glories of her father's inheritance. Her destiny is linked to the three chased boxes that are piled opposite her throne, and their importance is infinitely heightened by the restoration of the scenes occupied with the attempts of the two unsuccessful suitors. Not only does this re storation allow the introduct on of the gorgeous cos• tames of Spain and Morocco, but it has for its consequence a further development of Portia's cha racter. When the play was represented in the ordinary way, we merely saw her fears lest Bassani° should fail ; we now see the terrors of au opposite kind, lest two hateful suitors should succeed. The new arrangement of the trial scene, in which the excitement of the senators reflects and reacts upon the feelings of the audience, is another instance of the man ner in which dramatic instinct can be heightened by a mere modification of stage-business, when this takes place under the dictation of a manager of such poetical genius. Mr. Charles Kean has often played Sbylock, but never did the vengeance depicted by our great tra gedian appear so terrible as now, when we see his judges start with horror. Mrs. Charles Kean has , ften played Portia, but never did her speech on Mercy sound so inusi al as now, when the same judges audibly testify its effects upon their hearts. However, the grand scene of all, as far as character is concerned, is that which is modestly termed, "Exte ricr of Shylock's house," but presents a cembination of gondolas, bridges, canals, totally unparalleled on any stage. The devoted Jessica, charmingly played by Miss Chapman, who made her debut on Stturday, is the smell central figure of the action that chiefly occupies this marvellous picture. When she has fled with her lover, a sort of episode is introduced in the shape of a rush of carnival merrymakers, who occupy every part of the stage, and indulge in a frantic southern joy that is totally indescribable. That carnival drama would be alone sufficient to stamp the " Merchant of Venice" as the most wonderfully life-like of all the Princess's re vivals. It reflects the highest honour on the skill and taste of Mr. Cormack, by whom the dances were arranged, and on the liberality of Mr. Kean, that placed at his disposal the means that were turned to such admirable advantage. But, brilliant as it is, it is only one gem in a gorgeous carcanet of beauties. ASTLEY'S ROYAL AIIPEITUEATRE. A party of distinguished Indian visitors honoured this theatre with their presence on Saturday evening. The principal personages were somewhat jealously shrouded from profane eyes by closely drawn muslin curtains in front of the two private boxes which they occupied, permitting only an occasional glimpse of dusky counte nances and the gleam of barbaric pearl and gold ; but their numerous suite sat full in public view, and attracted much attention by their varied and picturesque costume. None of the audience appeared more keenly to enjoy the terrific combats induced by the gigantic villany of Mr James Holloway, as "The Wild Boar of the Fens," and the just retribution inflicted on his crimes by the virtuous valour of Mr. Cooke, jun„ in the chivalric spec tacle of " The White Palfrey ;" or testified greater ad miration of the grace and beauty of Miss Kate Cooke on her favourite charger " Snowdrop," and the elegant equitation of Madlle. Fleurette. Mr. Cooke takes his annual benefit on Thursday even ing next, and will doubtless receive on that occasion a satisfactory and substantial proof of the high public favour which his indefatigable managerial exertions for five successive seasons so amply merit. Those who have the good sense to foster native talent in the first place, wit find that M r .

War had virtually been declared against Para guay. The House had passed (by a vote of 116 to 79) the joint resolution as it came from the Senate authorising the President to take such measures against Paraguay as the refusal of that Republic to make reparation for firing into the United States' steamer Water Witch might demand. Additional visits to American ships by British men-of-war were reported. Lord Napier was said to have despatched a messenger to the British Ad miral on the West India station, informing him of the feeling that exists at New York with regard to the conduct of the British cruiser?, and the mea sures that had been taken by the American Govern.. ment. The steam-ship Moss Taylor had arrived at New York, with 17 days' later news from California, and 1,575,991 dols. in treasure. No news of importance from San Francisco; weather favourable, and heavy crops anticipated. The prospects of a peaceful arrangement of the Mormon difficulty were confirmed by latest intelli• gence. The Central American mails have arrived at New York. The Yrisarri treaty was still under consideration in the Nicaraguan legislature. In New Granada the Cass-Herrar treaty was not yet ratified, and Congress was still engaged in the consideration of the new constitution. Exchange at New York, on the 31st, for the Boston steamer, was a fraction easier ; the standard bankers, 1091, on London ; with transient bank bills at 1091 to 109 g. The tendency of prices was downwards for all descriptions of stock. Neither Exchange, cotton, or breadstuffs indicated the slightest apprehension of war with England, al though such a feeling was again made to affect the Stock Board. The demand for cotton was very slight. Prices of flour depressed by large arrivals'; demand good, chiefly for the home trade. Move ments of wheat heavy, without any remarkable change in the value of desirable lots. Pork brisker and dearer; no important alteration occurred. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
