The bill legalising the crossing of cheques, and rendering it an essential part of the document, was read a second time on Tuesday, in the House of Lords, and will doubtless receive the legislative sanction. Thera is one clause, however, that greatly derogates from, if it does not completely neutralise, the value of the measure. The object was to give full aryl complete security to the drawers and recipiebts of cheques, who adopted the prudent precaution of making that cheque only payable through either a banking firm or some particular banker. The custom had long pre vailei, but unfortunately, when tested, it was found to afford but a partial protection. Any parson, no matter how he obtained *the valuable instru went, could erase or alter the crossing, and, as a natural consequence, there was no adequate gui,- ! . rantee thereby afforded. Bankers' customers , naturally complained. They did not wish to • run the risks to which they were subjected 'through the carelessness of those to whose hands and care they entrusted their money. Tilt, -banking interest is, however, very influential in 'both Houses, and a proviso was added to the wholesome provisions of the bill, which must greatly detract from its utility. An amendment (?) has been added, to the effect that bankers paying a cheque which did not plainly appear to be crossed, _or which had been obliterated, should not incur any liability. This, which did not appear in the original biil introduced by the Attorney- General, and which has been called only a fair protection to bankers, takes away all protection to their clients. The bankers can protect themselves by using a proper description of paper for the cheques with which they supply their customers. If, through any undue parsimony, through a penny-wise and pound-foolish policy, they decline to avail them selves of the ad van tagesplaced within their reach by the progress of chernicalscience, the risk should fall :on themselves, and not on the innocent drawers. The issue of books, containing forms for crossed cheques, an d others payable across the counter to - any bearer, would at once solve the difficulty. They might be made of different kinds of paper. -A party who chose to accept one of the common kind would deliberately run the risk, and could not complain of the consequences of his own ,c4reiesuess,and indifference. The precaution is of a very simple character. A ny - mu tilation of the document, or change of colour, . would at once put the banker on his guard. A man accepting a cheque on cona4tori paper, and 'without the intimation on the face of it that it could only b© Rsid through a banker, might, sub-. sequently,• if be pleased, cross it, but if that direr. tion were erased he should sustain the loss. We .trust that this important m:tter will be looked to in committee, and that a really useful measure . may not be einasculated by the addition of a prc -vise that neutralises all its advantages. There is further intelligence from India, and, we rejoice to Say, of a very satisfactory character. The British leaders have in every instance effi ciently discharg e d the duties confided to their charge. The rebels have either been defeated, or .fled without a contest. The British name alone is equal to thousands of men armed all in proof. The insurgents, however great the numerical odds in their favonr,are uliwiliing to risk an enc - iunter where, by any possibility, it can be avoided, and the- results, where they have come into collision with our troops, have proved, beyond the possi bility of doubt, the accuracy of the estimate formed of British prowess. There is still, and, of course, for a considerable period there must be, a guerilla warfare. The fugitives will plunder the country, whenever and wherever they can do so with impunity. Many are fighting, or believe that they are fighting, which amounts to the same thing, with ropes about their necks. Couscious of the most atrocious guilt, they know that they are unworthy of clemency, and cannot suppose that they would be included within any amnesty that could be offered ; and the less criminal are still seduced by the stronger minds with which they are associated, to protract their resistance to legitimate authority. The triumph at Gwalior has been more com plete than could have been anticipated. Not only was there the moral effect of restoring to a faithful and friendly Sovereign his throne and children, which had been lost solely in consequence of his fidelity to his engagements, but the insur gents who had formed the only existing rebel army—a nucleus for a much larger force in the event of any reverse to the British arms —were completely defeated, with the loss of 27 guns and a large" amount of the treasure which had pre viously been plundered from the Gwalior Exche quer. The rebels were completely surrounded. On one side, in front, was the Agra force, while Brigadier Warm—one worthy of the name— pressed them in the rear, and Sir HUGH ROSE On the flank. It is supposed that TANTIA TOTES had escaped, but as the pursuit was still ener getically followed, it is by no means improbable that a good account may yet be rendered of that Wily traitor. Indeed, in consequence of the judi cious arrangements entered into, the rebels were completely hemmed in on every side, and there seems a reasonable prospect that the Gwalior mutineers will no longer remain as an organised army in opposition to our troops. A great victory was gained by General HOPE GRANT—another of our English Taladins—at Nawabgunge. The rebels showed extraordinary determination, standing to their guns very gallantly. They eventually fled with th© loss of 600 men and six cannon. Tue fight lasted from half-past four to half-past seven a.m. The rebels were utterly routed, and have fled across the Gogra, at Bairam Ghaut. Our loss was six killed and thirty wounded ; but, alas ! the sun afterwards knocked over a number of men. There seems to have been some mistake in keeping the Hussars exposed, for they lost a number of men. There was no long pursuit, and General GIANT was most care ful of his men ; but these new men—some ~ f them—do not know what it is even to get into a tope of trees, for they were actually surrounded by 20,000 of the enemy, who evidently relied on their numbers. Some chiefs were killed and wounded. This engagement will doubtless have a good effect. The death of the Ranee of JHANSI is confirmed, and the Moulvie, for whose capture 50,000 rupees was offered, has also been killed. Two out of the four chief miscreants have thus been disposed of. We trust the Commons will " insist" on their " disagreements with the Lords" on the principal alterations, amendments we cannot call them, in troduced by the - Upper Rouse into the India Bill. We have throughout advocated responsibility of the Minister as the most important Point in the Home Government of India, and never relished the appointment of a Council, which must both operate as a shield when he might otherwise be called to account by the House of Commons, and must isdisposa him to action, however decided his own judgment, unless he can secure a majority, at least of his. Council, in favour of his policy. We, therefore, entirely approved of the powers of the' old Secret Committee being placed in the hands of the Indian Secretary alone; and of his being enabled, without delay, and without thS embarrassment of consulting the Council, to send forth, by his own authority, such orders, as he might deem necessary. In truth, the more he sent out of such orders, the better Administrator we should expect him to be. The Lords, however, gave the Secretary, for such purposes, another little Secret Committee=" the Vice-President and one other member." Lord JOHN RUSSELL was for going further, and adding " four other members." Lord STANLEY, how ever, and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected both to Lord JOHN'S and the Lords' proposals, anA the House, following them, " dis agreed with the Lords' amendments." We are glad Lord STANLEY is not afraid of responsibility —dread of responsibility is the bane, just now, of the public service. The Lords had made another alteration—a mischievous, though a negative one—in regard to competitive examinations. The Bid, as sent up from the Ceinrnone, after providing for rules being made for such examinations for the Indian Civil Service, added—" The candidates certified by the Conimissioners or other persons to be entitled under - such regulations, shrill be recommended for appointment according to the order of their profi ciency, as shown by such examination, and such persons only as shall have been so certified, shall be appointed or admitted to the civil service of India." It will be seen that these sentences would compel nomination by merit. Blockheads could not be introduced by mere favour. They do not require that any man should be put to the work he was not fit for—the mathematician where the linguist should be, or the youth of faculties adapted to the law to the post of a local ad ministrator; but, they do require that to obtain an appointment, the young man must be something more than the son or the friend of Lord This, or of Col. That, or of Mr. So.and-So, or of some pc,- laical supporter of the Minister who nominates him. These words, then, the Lords left out. The pretence was tint they interfered with the prero gative of the Crown ; the real reason was quite obvious. Lord STANLEY, though personally strongly in favour of the clause as it stood—indeed, his Lordship has always been the earnest advc-' cate of public competitive Examinations—thought that no Indian Minister, after the appointment of a board of examiners, would dare tacmaravene the design cf their appointment, especially as,the order of Council, by which the regulations are made, must be laid on the table of the Home of Commons. He thought, therefore, thlit even without the words requiring the nomination' of the successful candidates, the altered clause would attain its clject. Perhaps he did not wish to press too hardiy on the Lords. The house, how , ever, while it Expressed, and justly enough, the most entire ' confidence in its wishes 1.) Ang regarded while Lord STANLEY is Indian Minister, did not like to trust any p og _ sillelndian Minister, and "disagreed with this amendment also. It was tlnught that public competition was much mole saf s when required by an Act of Parliament, which could not be repeated ' without long considorat; In and deb than by an order of C iuncil, wipe might ;+,- any day, and which, though laid on the table of the House, might escape a vote of censure from a hundred causes, perhaps, from a "desire not to embarrass the Ministry" of the day. A more valuable stimulus to middle class education cannot be devised than providing fair rewards for it. We only hope that in regard to the home service a like clause will soon become part of an Act of Parliament. • Lord STANLEY appeard in no way displeased at the result of - the division, and at the sugges tion of General EVANS applied the principle to another amendment of the Lords. Examina tions are provided by the bill for the scientific branches of the army—the clause ended with these words —" And the candidates who may be found entitled under such regulations shaq be recom mended for cadetships according to the order of their proficiency, as shown by such examination." These words the Lords also struck out. As in the former cases, the spirited and successful youth might be, after all his exertions, and all the expenses incurred by his parents, left unnoticed, in favour of some Ministerial pet. Lord ELLENBOROUGH Vas the chief instigator to the rejection of the above words. He repudiated in distinct language "the son of the grocer or the son of the tailor," in favour of the "son of the country gentleman or of the retired officer." Lord DERBY defended the grocers' and tailors' sons if equal to the sons of the aristocraFY—yet the Lords struck out the words. Lord STANLEY and the Com mons have restored them. We hope they will be immoveable. The successful establishment of competitive examinations for the public service in India will prove the knell of Duncedom in the public service at home.

Mr. C!arke became , clerk to the Central • Criaiiral Court in• 1829, previous to which he had for a considerable period actually discharged the duties of Vie office, although filling a subordinate capa city. To the c ffice cf clerk cf the Central Criminal Court a salary of 3,0001. a year is attached ; but the holier of the office out of- that sum has to maintain an effi..ient staff of subordinate clerks. The a2poiutment to this office rests with the Lord Mayor and the judges on the rota for the time being. The Superannuation Act, which has just been with itrawn front the House of Commons for this session, con tained a provision for superannuating the clerks, sorters, and letter•carriers in the metropolitan post-offices of Lon don, Dublin, and Elinburgh, bat no provision for superan nuating similar classes of officers in the provincial post offices.

Sae was pre cipitated into the water to a great depth by she violence of the collision, and the smack actually passed over her. Mr. Hamilton watched where she went down, and though a verfbad swimmer,. ho immediately dived down till he reached her, and with great difficulty succeeded in raising her to the surface of the water. He then swain with her towards the shore, till a boat put off and picked both up. Being desirous of showing her feelings of gratitude to the Almighty for this merciful preserve- Lien ( f her lif-, she has thought that she could not do so in a more appropria - e manner than by placing at the disposal of the National Life-boat Society the sum of 3001, to be employed in stationing an additional life boat on some part of the Irish coast.

Rajah Khan Singh is being attacked in his fort at Shabjunge, but the rebels have as yet mada no impression upon it. The Eajah has applied to Government for ammu nition and funds, which will be supplied to him. NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES. (BENARES DIVISION. The districts of Azimghur and Ghazeepore have been again disorganised, owing to the presence of bands of rebels from Jugdespore. The main body, under Ummer Singh, on the approach of Brigadier Douglas, abandoned Ghumer, and fled southwards, but several large parties recrossed the Ganges, and made for Oude, burning most of the Government thoughs (?) and fustreds (?), and plundering many large towns on their way. The rest of the Benares Division is quiet. GORTICKPORE DISTRICT. The column under Major Cox, which relieved the Rajah Wu Bansee, joined by the followers of that chief, pursued the rebels under Mehrnuee Dwain across the frontier into Oude, and on their return attacked and drove the rebels out of the west at Amorba.

This division is quite quiet, wi.h the exception of the frontier Pergunnahs of the Allahgesad dis trict, which has been somewhat disturbed. A large marauding party was attacked and dis persed near Soram by a small force sent out by Brigadier Richar (?); 31 men were killed and 11 taken prisoners in a charge made by the 6th Ma dras Light Cavalry. The Banda district is settling down quietly. AGRA. DIVISION.A Some excitement prevailed in the southern fron tier of the Agra, Mynpoorie, and Atowah districts - , caused by the state of offal's in Gwalior, but the rapid movement of troops on Gwalior from all sides, and the vigorous measures adopted by Sir Hugh Rose, issuing in the recapture of the ;town and fort of Gwalior on the 19th inst., have re stored confidence and tranquill ty. Fewsiug, the rebel R tjah of Dynpocrie, has sur rendered himself 'to the Magistrate of E•awas (qy Etowah?) on a guarantee of his life. The Deerut Divi-ion is quite peaceful. ROHILCUND The districts of B:idahow, Bignour, and Mora dabad are quiet. A band of rebels has been routed near Buheree, in the Bareilly district, by a small column of the Rohilcund force and Kuttoee police levies, under Captain Costomin ; 70 rebels were killed.

The rebels, under Utnmer Singh, who were driven out of the Jugdespore jungles by Sir Edward. Lugard, and had at first wade for the Gawleepore district, have retraced their steps, and are spreading 'over the eastern side of Bengal, plundering and burning all villages whose inha bitants they suppose to be well affected. The station of Gyahas has been reinforced by 300 Madras Rifles. Her Majesty's 77:h Regt., 599 strong, had arrived from Australia, and will be immediately moved up to Dinapore. A wing of the 2d battalion 60th Rifles has been sent to Dacca, Central India. GWALIOR.

The steamer Bombay arrived at Suez from Bom bay this morning. The following intelligence from the Bombay Standard of 3d July, 3 p.m., has reached this by telegraph. Sir Hugh Rose reached Gwalior on the 16th Jame from the south-west ; Brigadier Smith ap proached it from the south-east. Early on the 17th a series of severe conflicts en sued on both sides of the town. On the 19th the enemy were beaten and dispersed in all directions, and the town captured by us. The fort was next day found abandoned. The Maharajah was conducted in state to his Palace on the 19th. Four of our officers have fallen. During the four days we bad captured twenty seven guns, many elephants, and a vast amount of treasure. The fugitives had the Agra force. in front ; Napier on their rear ; Rose and ours on their right and reffiink (qy. left, flank). A large force, under General Roberts, left Nus serabad on the 29th, in the direction of Joypore, where the mutineers are supposed to be assembling. Ou the 13th, General Sir Hope Grant gained a brilliant victory at Nawabgnnge, near Lucknow, capturing a large number of guns, and driving the enemy across the Gogra. On the 9th the celebrated Moulvie, for whom 5,0001. had been offered, was killed. Oude continues much disturbed. The Governor-General, on receiving Lord Ellen. borough's despatch, issued a proclamation giving amn•=sty to all but murderers. The results are no yet known.

We have, been favoured with the following ac. count of the victory described in the telegran received last evening : " LIICKNOW, JUNE 15 "Since I wrote to you on Sunday General Grant has made a good example of a large body of the rebels at Nawabgunge (B )ree Bunkee). Of the fact y,:u will have heard by telegraph, hut some ofiln details may interest you, which I briefly give you. Our force—the two brigades of Rifles, 90th, Punjaub, 18 guns, and some 1,500 cavalry--lest Churhut at 11 at night, came to the bridge across the mullah before daylight, and here the action, commenced. The enemy defended the bridge witt two guns. Oar fire soon stlenced them, and the rifle skirmishers did the rest. The enemy fled pre cipitately towards the jungle on this side, ant when they had secured their retreat turned an , sent in an ill-directed fire of grape and round shot Our guns replied, and they retreated altogether, leaving one gun. This party did not lose mans men. In the meantime their guns opened on tb€ right, and all the mobs who were in the topes round Nawabgunge advanced and attacked in front our right, and rear, all at once. Some of thesf did not fight at all, but others showed great pluck, and stood to their guns obstinately. One body for an hour and a half stood their ground, in perfectly open ground, within 400 yards of our guns, which were firing grape and round shot. The rebel loss was very great ; all their gunnel s wero killed. A party of infantry stood in the open against two companies of the Rifles, and received their charge without running, they were all either bayonetted or killed with clubbed muskets. Soma 40 footmen received a charge of the 7th Hussars, who rolled them all over ; all but one man got up again, but the Hussars came back and killed the whole of them. I mention theseinstances to shots you with what determination some part of the rebels fought. Their loss has been consequently heavy, and ifs estimated at 600 and six excellent guns. The fight lasted from half-past 4 to half-past 7 a.m. The rebels were utterly routed, and have fled across the Gogra, at Bairam Gnaut. Our loss was six killed and 30 wounded, I believe ; but, alas I the sun afterwards, I hear, knocked over a number of men. There seems to have bean some mistake in keeping the Hussars exposed, for they lost a number of men. There was no long pursuit, and General Grant was most careful of his men ; but these new men—some of them—do not know what is, is even to get into a tope of trees, for they were actually surrounded by 20,000 of the enemy, who evidently relied on their numbers. Some chiefs were killed and wounded. This engagement will have a good effect, I hope." FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. At the last sitt;ng, of the Conference M. Walewski, it is said, distributed to the Plenipotentiaries the draught of organisation, the duty of drawing ur, which devolved on him. It was c ,refully examined by each member of the o,nference. Their observa tions on it will probably be of a secondary na- tire ; and it is expected that the pryject will be defini tively adopted at the sitting of the 12th, with the view of being submitted to the Emperor on the 15th. Tho Prefect of the Manche, and the Sub-Pre fect of the Arrondh-sement of Cherbourg, have been called up to Paris by the Minister of the Interior, for the purpose of concerting with the authorities proper measures of police for the safety of the Emperor, and of vigilance as regards Guernsey arid. Jersey. According to the origin tl plan, the Minis ter of the Interior was not: to quit Paris during the festivities at Cherbourg. He will, however, accom pany the Emper,r on his journey; and the Secre tary-General will be charged ad interim with the direction of affairs in the ohs., nce of M. Delangle. Prince Jerome will take the direction of all affairs of importance during the Emperor's absence. The Emperor left Plorribieres yesterday morning to relurn to Paris by the Mulhausen Railway, pass ing- 11 - ry Langres, Chatunout, and Troyes, where pre paraztions had been made to give his Majesty a brilliiant reception.

NAPLES, JULY 24. At length the political cause of Sal •rno is tenni arced. On Monday morninv, the 19th inst., the C, , u‘ t was called together before the hour appointed 1 - )37 law, and, though Signor Cat elli had yet to add -4owe words for the defence, on his arriving at the legal rime ho found that the Judges had already retired to the Council Criari.btr. Tue prisoners were re-conducted to their prison, and, though a decision was to be come to regarding their fate, which would cost some their lives, perhaps, and others a large series of years in chains, still all appeared to main!. ain their cheerfulness. The following despatch has been received, dated July 21 : " A strange circumstance has occurred. This morn ing the advocates have been compelled to leave Salerno n the greatest haste, as the Minister of Grace and Justice intimated yesterday that they must go directly ;o the Ring to implore the Royal clernerey. If this I , es not arrive 135 2 o'clock the prisoners be put is Jappella." The following details will fill up the outline An usher was sent from Salerno en Tuesday norning with a note to the Minister of Grace and J ustico at Naples, but was sent back hastilyor the report of the trial. On leaving dig Minister's he was met by one ofithe advocates, and inestioned as to his agitation. Oa hearing the istery of it he sent in to say that one of the advocates of the cause was there. The Ministers coming out, questioned him as to why he wee ar Naples. "On business of my own," WO ~ he reply. " What ! you here and your clients in Cappella ?" " Sir, the execir ion of the punish' int:int has be?n suspended." "Suspended !" ilaimed the Minister, "go directly to Salerno , ell the Attorney-General to scud a report of the trial, and you advocates go to the King and implore his Royal mercy." Late in the evening of Tuesday. the Attorney-General cora' nunica'ed the intelligence to the advecates, ,eft at four o'clock the next morning to procure ell ~rly interview will his Majesty. Of the constet' dation which was produced by this cilange, in the phase of affairs it is impossible to give you an ade' plate description—let yuur imaghatien supply it 5 but it will be more practical to indulge in setae ;peculation as to the causes of these strange ,roceedings. It may be, then, that his MajestY , itbout consulting any of his Ministers, bed previously given the Royal pardon. Ministers ._\Thples are not secretaries, and, as they dare no; riginate anything, it is not surprising if it should a le considered unnecessary to consult them. Or 11 ' ,ay be that it was deemed necessary to get asp a :cease to make the Royal clemency more perceptidej t was deemed well that the right hand should :now what the left hand doetb, and sometbill aore than the right hand, so that the pardon which vas whispered in secret in the courts of Salerno l i t vas thought right should be ext or t e d f ro m a min d .vavering between justice and mercy in Castella' ture. Whatever the motives, the results have beet' Arch as to awaken consternation, surprise, and die' ;asst, and people will not soon forget how human clings have been trifled with in Salerno.
