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 h,er MAJESTY in Council, will be laid on the table of the House. They will then be open to the cr itiejam and vigilance of the house, and when ever any a lterations are made they wi ll likewise b e annoum,ed to the House. We sha ll then have the satiafacti:u: of having establkled the competi tive principle by Act of Parliament throughout the whole civil .ctervice 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 evon in the scientifie branches of the army, and that in a manner which no one can say has attazlked 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. two).

The directors of the London Discount Company have issued their half-yearly report, front 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. 63. 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.

Austrian 625 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. NIOoLL 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 against the objectionable provision received the signatures of 600 leading London 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 or iinary abilities. DENMARK. A letter from Oopeuhagen of the 25th says : " M. Krieger, the Dew Minister of Finance, will for the future conc entro:•te in his hands all the financial affairs of Denmark, Schleswig, and the Duchies of Holstein and Lauen burg, each of which is to contribute according 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 Royal 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 respond to the spirit of conciliation displayed by Denmark, who cannot go farther without sac rificin g her dignity as a free and independent State."

A letter from Constantinople of the 21st, in the Gazette dtt Midi, says :—" The Porte, on hearing of the Jeddah massacre, at once perceived the necessity of acting with vigour, and it hastened to intimate its intention to the English and French ambassadors. Ism ril Pacba, general of brigade, verso distinguished himself in the campaign on the Danube, during the late war, is the person who was appointed commissioner extraordinary. Re left for Jeddah three days ago on board the steamer Teard. He is inivructed to proclaim martial law, to place the town in a state of siege, and to punish the guilty with the greatest rigou. A contribution of money will be imposed on the town, suffidently elevated to indemnify the families of the persons killed, and to make good the pecuniary losses of those who escaped. The concentra ion of forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina is not intended for the purpose of making any fresh attack on 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 '1 rebignen, 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."

The giver or receiver of ono 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 even be for their advantage to do so in a pecuniary point of view. 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 universaladoption 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.

Tois was Lhe case uf a ,ottir of the Irish claimants as next of kin to the late Mrs. Shard, who died in 1819. Tee petitioner, Catherine E lgar, clairneda i first Hid 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 be would not allow any farther evidence to be taken in support of it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1858. The Indian difficulty has been surmounted, the great Eastern problem fairly solved. On Monday next the Leviathan Company, which has so long nominally ruled over such important ter• ritories—that controlled the destinies and regu. lated the affairs of 150,000,000 of British sub. jests—will cease to exist, and its authority wi be transferred to our Most Gracious Sovereign Queen TICTORIA, her heirs and successors throughout all generations. It is a mighty change ; one that required the most calm and attentive consideration, eombined 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 we 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 as 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 ou the subject. It had been decided by the Com mons that, in case of au order to commence a foreign war being sent out from this country, notice should be given to Parliament within one month after such order, if it was then sitting if not, within one month after resuming ite 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 liament. The reason was quite sufficient, inas much as it might not be convenient, or politic, for the Governor-General to carry the direction into practical execution. It was therefore thought der.irahle that sufficient time should be afforded to receive an answer from the Governor-General be fore 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 so satisfactory that the House at once unanimously acceded to what weir really an amendment. The remaining point related to the " vexed question" of competitive examinations in the scientific branches of the Indian army. The state ments made by Mr. DISRAELI and Lord STANLEY, however, greatly narrowed the issue. The matter, tubed, rested between a " recomeendation" and THE FETES AT CREBBOUIW. The following is the complete programme of these fetes : " Wednesday Evening, 4th August.—Arrival at the station at Cherbourg at a quarter past four. Their Majesties will be received by the principal au thorities, religious, civil, maritime, and military, the council-general, and deputations from various parts of the department.

KING'S COLLEGE.—THE Smote—The annual distri bution of prizes for the school and schools in union w i t h gi v g's C.,liege, took place yesterday, in the pre seece of a crowded and fashionable assemblage. In the absence of the Bishop of London, the chair was taken by Mr. Cotton, who briefly addressed the assemblage on the pleasing duty which it bad fallen to his lot to per form, inasmuch as the prizes intended for distribution w ere the result of admirable management of the schools, added to perseverance and study on the part of those instructed. Having spoken in euloOstic terms of the conduct of the schools, and having expressed his regret that the Bishop of Loudon was unable to beepresent, the the prizes w dted, chairman ann ounced the commencement of ere istribu the speeches. e e ' d with the usual compliment abd After tbteh meeting to the chairma - . delivery t . c r f m t i h n e a s t The Mining market has been active this week.

Io otherrespects mark,t presents no novel or striking feliture, and the buAine3s transact ions have been about the usual average amount, and mostly confined to good dividend and progressive mines, mere ipeculations not baying just now so much attention paid to them. If we ceuld but ensure a continued rise in the stancard for copper Gres, and a better price for lead, there i* little doubt a very active business would follow in shares; rent for, with plenty of money in the market , there is a g disposition to embark in English mines.

The series of extra performances, at reduced prices, ara attracting and delighting crowded audiences. The opportunity of hearing the finest operatic music at so very moderate a cost is a great boon 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 evening ; and excellently rendered in most of its parts. Alboni sang with all the freshness and purity of her earliest days, and charmed the ears of her appreciative listeners ; while BAletti, as the mercurial and spirited Barber, displayed the sound and rare musician—like qualities possessed by him, to infinite advantage. or n Sig Balart is improving considerably in his exocution, but a little care in the ex ercise of his upper notes is requisite to prevent the deficiency in perfect tone which is sometimes harshly audible in the alto passages. The opera was altlgether most efficiently su pported. To -night Mozart's g reat work of " Dan Giovanni " will perforined with a good cast ; anti will doubtless be eatended by a full house. THE ALLEGED CRUELTIES AT ACOMB ROUSE LUNATIC ASYLUM. --d YORK, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. This day, at half-past 12 o'clock, T. S. Lutwidge, Esq., and J. T. Wilkes, Esq., two of 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 pre=ent, said this was a strictly private inquiry. Mr. Pemberton hereueonsaid that before the business of the court commence d he wished to be permitted. with all due respect to the court, to state that, so far as Mrs. Tur ner was concerned, and himself, as her legal a d v i ser , 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 au 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 variousi, witnesses who would be called, and then lay the facts before the Lunacy Board. The present inves tigation, therefore, could only he regarded as a private inquiry. The reporters then withdrew, and the investigation was conducted with closed doors. We under tand that the prorogation will ta ke p lace on Monday next, instead of on Tuesday , ay h Paii principal or i g inally intended. Lord Derby and t me mbers of his Government go down to o,borne to take take her Majesty's pleasure this day.

HEARTLESS AND SHAMEFUL ROBBERY.—Mr. J. Angell an officer of ibe City of Loudon Union ' introduced to Mr. Yardley a poor man, named Joh n Thomas Gale, who has lest one eye, and cannot see much wi - h the remaining one, f. , r the purpose of giving informadon 0 a most 0ru. , 1 robbery. Mr Widdle, the second usher of the court, stated that the unfortunate man Gale had been in the army, and nerved his country in the 54th Regiment, in the Crimea, where he was wounded. O. leaving the 54th Regiment hisoomrades presented him with a very handsome cornet a-pi-tun, awl tieing an excellent mmec;ac, jilLtd two other rn n, AeLii w 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 left Windsor for London, intending to proceed ti toe south west of England. They stopped at Hnncslow 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 curvet-a-piton wish his c Anpanions. When Gale returned tote place where he left his brother musicians they were gone. The rascals took advantage of his temporary absence to decamp with his instrument ea' clothes. Gale proceeded towards London, and became dh stitute, and was admitted into the City of Lon don Union-nouse. Toe guardians had offs , ed a reward of 1/. for the apprehension of the two thieves Davison and Maclean,and the recovery of the instrument. If the poor fellow could recover hie cornet-a-piston, he would be enabled to obtain his own living The editor of the Rae and Cry and Police Gazette intended to insert a de-criptiou of the thieves and a reward for their appro. 11 , -nsion in that journal, but it was necessary before that was done that Gale should swear to the truth of his statement and exhibit an information before a magis• trate. Mr. Yardley commiserated the poor fallow and re ceived his information, upon which he would grant a warrant fur 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 is India.

The pm. s n ra are the propri e t ors o f upwar d s o f 100 i n f a moult . brothels t St. George-in -the-East, Wapping, and White' eLapel, and the most horiiole outrages and robberies have been committed in their house. The evil has be. (nate so great that a society called the Rist London Association has been founded to repress profanity axe' vices in the district, and on Friday the parish otficeri entered into toe necessary rec , tgnisances to prosecute, and warrants ere granted for the apprehension of the offenders. There was a warrant against Benjamin Jame.. the husband of Margaret James, but the fell- w absconds ( ' on Friday directly of er the warrant was granted. Mr. Sidney, solicitor, on the part of the defendant* Benjamin and Margar-t James, said if the prosecutiol l were abandoned then 25 brothels should be closed withlS 12 hours. Mr. Yardley—l have nothing to do with it at all' Any neg-tiations 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 prl , oners. Mr. Yardley—They are wholesale keepers of brothels of the worst description, and I must have four Burette. of 401. each.
