Although Lucknow was captured, and the British flag floated over th 3 rebels' stronghold, one link in the chain was defective — one meshe in the elaborate net work broken. Sir Ross was prevented from taking up his assigned position at the proper time, by insuper able obstacles. The state of affairs at Jhansi pre vented his advance, and there was consequently a loophole for escape, of which the rebels largely availed themselves. The great body of the in surgents fled from before their then conquerors, but can still maintain a guerilla warfare that may occasion much trouble and lead to the loss of many valuable lives. Should the fugitives be encouraged by the discontented tAlookdars and zemindars, driven to desperation by the confiscation proclamation, it would be diffi cult to predict where the matter would terminate. We have had some repulses. The first attack on the Fort of Rowas failed, and Brigadier AD RIAN Hoe;, whose name had previously acquired high distinction was killed. It is, however, satis factory to know that the rebels subsequently abandoned their position, and our troops were , enabled to move forward. A small force under Captain La GRIND seems to have fallen into a trap. The party which had advanced from Azztn followed, perhaps imprudently, the enemy into the jungle, and 133 men and 3 officers, including the commander were killed. In addition, we learn that Body was taken by General WHITELOCIE on the 19th April, after an engagement in which the enemy lost 500 men and 4 guns. Sir H. Rosa left Jhansi on the 27th, and expected, first, to be joined by Gen. WHITELOCK, and then to fight the Ranee's army, 12,000 strong, encamped at Koouchin, advance of Calpee. The Kotah force has gone into quarters, with the exception of a small brigade ordered to pro ceed to Sir H. ROSE'S rear. General PENNY is moving now from the Ganges to assail Calpee from the East. Brigadier Joszis, of the 60th Rifles, has been successful in reaching Moradabad on the 25th April, after three actions, and the capture of Rujeedabad and Nujeena. Sir WILLIAM PEEL is also dead ! That truly gallant officer has fallen a victim to small-pox. He had established for himself a high reputa tion. The community had fully acquiesced in the well-merited honours that had been bestowed on him. He was a true hero, and his name will be remembered through ages as the worthy coadjutor and efficient auxiliary of lievELocx and OUTE,AM. We do not say "we could have better spared a batter man," for it would be difficult to find one more deserving of the national gratitude than the hero who has just been deposited in his last resting-place. There was nothing but the imperative sense of duty to urge him onward. He had an ample fortune— had won high honours, and could not obtain a single step on the lad ler of promotion by any triumph, however brilliant. But still he fought add cmquered, and has left a name that will long be enshrined in the memories of his countrymen. His loss alone more than counterbalances the suc cesses reeorded in another part of our impression, and truly and sincerely we sympathise with his bereaved family. It would have been more factory had he fallen on the ensanguined field ; but his end is not the less glorious, nor will his melancholy fate be the less lamented. What a land of steady growth, yet of the strangest out-comings of human caprice, is the United States. Hardly half a century cad as an independent Power, they have so ovettpped everything in. the Now World, that if ArnetilTa spoken of we at once understand the Union. While the States, which are but fragments of the vast Spanish domains of the centre and South, are waning, and preparing themselves by ceasele,s political changes for absorption into the Great Republic, the latter, especially its Northern and Western part, is rapidly, almost portentously, advancing in population, territorial extent, and commercial vigour. New States, like Kansas and Minesota, as big as large kingdoms, are every now and then added to the Federation ; and even Canada, the Great Britain of the North American continent, has been content, till quite lately, to let the pushing Republic walk the course. This vigorous growth, however, seems to be attended by all its natural concomitants. There is a strange mixture of laddish swagger, which all naturally forgive to an overgrown lad-empire, with the cunning of an acute lawyer or money lender of forty or fifty. But there are, also, all kinds of freaks of social and individual fancy. Not long ago her filibusters in Cuba and Nicaragua were bearding not only the weak Powers of those countries, but defying the opinion of all Europe. Her Mormons have for some years been the most remarkable instance in the modern world of the success of a half Mahomedan, half Jewish poli tical and religious organisation, attracting in large numbers votaries to the absurdest of impostures, and inspiring them with an energy which makes them of political consequence in the States, and renders them no contemptible antagonists for such an army as the Union can send across the deserts and prairies which separate Utah from the great body of the States. . . A monster commercial crisis, a monster fight for slavery and free soil, and a monster re vival of religion, are among the very recent events in the States—the latter being still in active progress. The monster Kansas iniquity is probably as great a piece of villany as ever was perpetrated by Legislators and a President iu the facie of a civilised community the territory settled by freemen was first attempted to be seized by Border ruffitns in the interest of slave-holders; the late forgotten President egged them on, and en abled them by open violence to seize the Govern ment, and enact laws giving all power to pledged pro-slavery men only ; the famous, or rather in famous, Lecompton Convention and Constitution, were the offspring of all this, as the Topeka Con stitution was of the bona fide settlers, who refuse I to be bound by the atrocious seoundrelism patron ised by slave-holders and their President at Washington. BUCHANAN himself got the Chair by a discreet but treacherous silence as to the course he should pursue in Kansas. Eventually, the Lecompton or Slavery Constitution collies before Congress. The opposition is strong and lone , against such glaring unrighteousness ; but it was nearly balanced by the slavery votes iu the Lower House ; and the Upper House, like moat Upper Houses, was the stronghold of every abuse. Withtbe irnmensepowers of corruption in the hands of an American President, plwers used as un scrupulously as they were by our WALPOLES of a past age, Mr. BUCHANAN found means to pass a cunning, yet audacious b 1 1 . Instead of devising measures for honesty taking the sense of the t - ritory, one of his creatures, a Mr. ENGListr, arranged a compromise, which was, in reality. one purely in the interests of slavery. Under it, if Kansas would accept the Lecompton Coustit,i tiois, and come iu now as a slave state, she was to be rewarded with five millions additional acres of territory, as well as immediate independent pol tical existence. If s h e wou ld no t, s h e must . remain a oaere territory several years lotwer, till the population reaches 93,000, it bein ,, now THE SUN, LONDON, MON DAY EVENING, about half that number ; and by that time the slave-holders calculate on adding one or more new slave states, by taking a slice or two from Mexico! Even should the Kansas free-soilers refuse the disgraceful bribe, and elect to remain a territory, the slavery men will have gained time to balance their power afresh by creation of new slave states. Parallel with this political monstrosity, we read in all the American papers, secular and daily, as well as religious papers, long accounts of a monster religious revival. The weekly edi tion of the New York Tribune, the paper of the largest daily circulation in the States, and edited by the well-known HORACE GREELY, is now before us. The number for the 3rd of April, eight pages of forty-eight columns, is entirely devoted to a kind of history of the movement, and of its actual character throughout the country. Mr. GREELY speaks respectfully of it, although it is in opposition to his own religious sentiments, as he is a Universalist, we are told, and the revival is almost confined to what are termed evangelical denominations. It is, he states, pretty nearly confined to the Free States, having hardly pene trated the Slave States at all ; a circumstance, doubtless, in its favour. He appears to lean to the opinion that the commercial reverses of last Fall, and the bitter disappointment about Kansas, disposed mem' minds to turn to religion as a counterpoise. It commenced in New York. There has been, we are told, no mani festation of extravagance, nothing which even an English clergyman, who :writes on the subject, could notice as the least violation of pro priety and order. There were no monster, no "fire and brimstone" preachers. Indeed, it be gan with the laity, the business men of the city, .the class parallel with our men of 'Change, arranging to hold a prayer-meeting for one hour, in the very midst of business hours Aud these meetings are wholly unsectarian, and unclerioal, and, under the name of Union Prayer-meetings, have spread all over the Union. " The Revival --says the Tribune of the 3d of April—has passed, and is still passing over the country like a wave ; the existence of an unusual religiose in terest is recognised and acknowledged in almost every town, village, and district throughout the entire Northern and Western States." " The excitement of a Presidential canvass could hardly call forth more general interest or more active participation !" Englishmen will be naturally inclined to ask— and what about slavery ? Do the Revivalists show marked symptoms of penitence for their great national sin ? Have they learned to regard coloured people as brother men ? Do they still drive them out of the white man's omni bus, and steamboat saloon, and still drive them into a negro pew, or into a separate church for coloured men ? At the " Union Prayer-meetings" are petitions heard for the emancipation of the slave, and confessions heard of national guilt for the most horrible form of slavery ever heard of iu Heathendom, Judaism, or Christendom ? TVs shall never believe, on this side the Atlantic, in the reality of any general religious movement in the States which does not emancipate the slave. On this aubject Mr. GREELY'S paper gives us little Information. " President BUCHANAN, and four millions in chains," are, it says, daily prayed for in a coloured church. 0.,e or two letters by fugitive slaves were read, requesting thanksgivings for escape to New York, and prayer for their " complete deliverance from the power of the manhunter 1" But, one coloured man writes to the Tribune, that he and a oolittired woman were asked to go into a separate. room, and hold a ser vice sepirately from the white sinners who were praying for conversion ! We notice, however, that the religious organisations in America are splitting on the question of slavery. The Metho dists, Baptists, and Presbyterians are already dis organised by it, and the Northern churches are re fusing association with those of the South. The American Tract Society—one of the oldest and richest of the religious societies—is quite divided ; the Northern divines maintaining that as slavery is a sin, religious tracts must denounce it ; the Southern Reverends demanding expurgated tracts for their Slave States ! To us Englishmen, it seems that as Christianity, in every form in civi lised Europe, has broken the fetters of the slave, so the Christianity of America is unworthy of the name of civilised Christianity unless it does the same. As to revival of religion, we are confident that it must be a very earthly revival—a revival of which the Exchange and the "Almighty dollar" are the inspiration, unless it cast out the demon of Slavery. That will be our best. If it crush shvery, we shall believe that it came from Heaven. If it uphold it, or pass by on the other side, it comes not from Rim who gave us the parable of the good Samaritan. I, A:TEST NEWS. The following Telegram from ber Majesty's Acting Consul-General in Egypt was received at the Foreign-, face, May 30, at 9 p.m. : ALEXANDRIA, MAY 26, 1858. The steamer Ganges arrived at Suez yesterday with Bombay dates to the 9th instant. General Walpole, with the heavy column from Lucknow, reached Futtehghur on the 27th April, where lie was met by the Commander-in-Chief. Three other columns are to join as they advance OD Bareilly, which is expected to be invested about the 10th instant. General Walpole's Division, on the 15th April, made au unsuccessful attack on the Fort of Rowas, which was attended with considerable loss—four officers, including Brigadier Adrian Hope, and about a hundred men, having fallen. Our troops were obliged to retire, but the enemy evacuated the Fort in the night, and the column moved for ward. On the 22d, a large body of rebels was en countered opposite Kanoujs, and was dispersed with loss of four guns, their camp, and 500 or 600 killed. Kooer Sing, with about 2,000 rebels, although hotly pursued by Brigadier Douglas, crossed the Ganges on the sth April, and arrived at Jugdes pore on 22d. On the following day, a force of 300 men under Capt. Lagrand, which advanced from Arrab, having followed the enemy into the jungle, was defeated; 133 men and 3 officers killed. Body was taken by Geii. Whitelock on the 19th April, after an engagement in which the enemy lost 500 men and 4 guns. Sir H. Rose left Jhansi on the 27th, and ex pected, first to be joined by General Whitelock, and then to fight the Ranees army, 12,000 strong, encamped at Koouchin, advance of Calpee. The Kotah force has gone into quarters, with the exception of a small brigade ordered to pre cede Sir H. Rose's rear. Gen. Penny is moving now from the Ganges to assail Calpee from the East. Brigadier Johns, of the GOth Rifles, has been successful in reaching Moradad on the 25th April, after three actions, and the capture of Rujeedabad and Nujeena. Sir W. Peel died at Cawnpore, on 27th April, of small p( 's. GREEN. This telegram arrived at Malta from Alexan dria by steamer " Euxine," at 7'46 a.m. Malta, May 30. G. S. EAST INDIA-HOUSE DESPATCHES. The following message, dated " Malta," has been received at the India-house : "To J. D. DICKINSON, ESQ., EAST INDIA-HOUSE. "Matters appear to be progressing satisfactorily in Oude. A number of princiwil Talookdars have made their submission to the Chief Commissioner, either personally or by their representatives, and the settlement of the country around Lucknow is being rapidly made. " The rebel Moulvia and the mother of the puppet-King are said to have abandoned Dat sowlil (?) where they had taken refuge, and to have fled - into the Baraeta Pergunnah, beyond th© G ogra. " The main body of tho Ghoorkas is proceeding to Nepaul, via Fyzlbad, which is held by Mauu Sing, with 2,000 men and two guns, and the Ghoorkas do not expect any opposition. Jung Bahadoor, with Ida body-guard, has already passed through Corral - pore. " BEN..OZES "Sir E. Lugar. l reached - Azimghur on the 15th, and the rebels were driven out of the city on the 17th. They fled in several parties to wards the Gogra and Ganges, and the pursuing columns captured several guns and much ammu nition and baggage, abandoned by the rebels in their flight. Koeer Sing, assisted by the villa gers, outstripped Brigadier Douglas, who was pursuing him, and, crossing the Ganges at Shah poor on the fist, made for Rughdespoor. His subsequent proceedings will be noticed under the head of Bengal. "An action with the rebels under Mahomed Hosein and Colonel Rowcroft's force took place near Amorlia, in the Goruckpore District, on the 17th of -Apia. The enemy were defeated, and pursued to their intrenchment, losing one gun and about 100 mon. The Yeomanry Cavalry be haved exceedingly well. Their loss was Cornet Troup and one private killed, four officers and 17 men wounded. LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 31, 1858. The intelligence from India is still of a che quered character. In slme parts all is co/eur de rose—matters are proceeding as satisfactorily as could be anticipated ; while in others we hear of reverses, accompanied by the I , )ss of gallant officers and of many efficient soldiers. Such a state of affairs is for some time inevitable. It cannot be averted by any strategy. We are still contend ing against large numerical majorities. At Delhi a large proportion of the mutineers and rebels, who thought "discretion the better part of valour," and were thoroughly cognisant of the fact that " he who fights and runs away may live to fight another day," escaped into Oude, and co-operated with the Lucknow insurgents. Thao they hoped to gratify their sanguinary propensr• ties, and to witness the destruction, and perhaps something worse than the destruction, of the hated Feringhees. But the self-sacrificing devotion of HAVELOCK—the unflinching courage of OUTRANI— and the skilful tactics, and brilliant strategy of CAMPBELL, completely disappointed their anticipa tionp. The fugitives at Lucknow were rescued. The chivalrou s IsaLts had not worked in vain. At the eltventh hour the inspiring notes of the "land" pibroch conveyed the glad tidings of safety and succour to the fugitives. But more remained to be accomplished. Al tholigh the fullitivea were preserved from the awful fate to which they had been doomed, Luck now, the capital of the rebel state, still remained in the hands of ou r o pponents. Thed innoc ent safety of the f ug itives, the helpless women an chil dren, who had passed through an ordeal so terri ble, was the first care of Sir COLIN. The modern BAYARD would n ot risk a combat while their safety was dependent on the result. He accordingly made a masterly retreat, to be speedily followed by a more masterly advance. He returned to Lucknow, having completed the most skilful arrangements fur the destruction or capture of the MLYIST ERIA.L ARRANGEMENTS. We can positively state that Lord Staulty Las accepted the office of President of the Board of Control. A more popular noblem•in to fill a position now become so important could not have been selected. The office of Secretary of State fur the Co!ouies, rendered vacant by the ac3eptation of the above Presidentship by the noble lord, has been a?.cepted by Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. New writs for Hertfordshire and King's Lynn will be moved for this evening in the House of Commons. HER MAJESTY'S TIIEATRE.—The new opera " LuiFa Miller," is to be produced on Tuesday, Bth June, at her NfajAsty's Theatre. Reports speak highly of the music and of the part of the heroine, for which Mdlt „ Piccoloteini has be' n selected. Signor Giuglini ha, alto an interesting cbaracter, and some music pecu lia,ly adapted to his charming talent. - Be, eyezitano• and Vialetti also appear in the opera ; and to give rie noes to the whole, we are g a I to find that Alboni h. s c )nsented to take the c,ntralto part. At the Royal Italian Opera, " Fra Diavolu" will be forthcoming ; in tlie meantime the "Traviata" and the " Huguenots" will be repeated. TilE PRINCESS'S —The company of the Princess's a!e busily eagaged in rehearsing the next Shaksperian viva!, the " Merchant of Venice," iu which, ascot ding to green-room report, will be exhibited real gondolas and real water.

In the interval, it is probable that Mr. Buckstone and his company w,li make a "starring" excursion to the provinces.

General White lock captured four guns, and took possession of the city and Palace of the Nawab. Eight guns were afterwards abandoned by the rebels and taken. Our loss, one officer, Lieut. Colbeck, 3d Madras Europeans, killed ; two officers wounded. It is reported from Calpee that Tantia Topee, the Ranee of Jhansi, and the Rajahs of Shahgur and Campoor, with 7,000 men and five guns, are encamped :at Koouch (?) to oppose Sir Hugh Rose. The Rao Sahid, with 1,000 men and the relics of the Banda Nawab's force, is at Jubulpore with three guns to oppose General Whitelock at Ca]pee, where there are 2,000 men and three guns. " General Whitelock is still at Bar la. There is nothing of importance to report from the Agra and Meerut divisions. " ROHILCUND DIVISION. " Colonel Jones ' s column was at MahadAbad on the 2Gtb, having apparently experienced little opposition. " Majjoo Khan, a rebel leader of some note, was seized by Captain Angelo, of Coke's Rifles. 28 guns have been captured by this column sinco it left Roorkee ; six of these were taken on the 17th near Nagul, nine on the 18th in the fort of Nujeebabad, and 10 on the 221 at Nageenab. " Brigadier-General Walpole's division defeated the robels on the 221 of April ; four guns were taken, and their baggage, camp equipage, &c., captured at Allygunj after a long pursuit. The Raingunga has thus been turned, and the bri•lge at Allygunj secured for the passage of the siege train. " In an attack of the fort of Rooca (?) some days previous to this action, Brigadier Adrian Hope and three officers were killed. "Brigadier Penny's brigade crossed the Ganges at Meeolee on the 2`rth of April, and will proba- Lly proceed towards Budaon, joining the Coca. mander-in-chief before he reaches Bareilly. " BENGAL—ARRAIL " A party consisting of 250 Europeans, 150 Sikhs, with two mountain-train howitzers, from Arrab, under the command of Captain Le Grand, attacked Kcoer Sing near Inide Espore (Jugdes poor ?) on the 23d of April. They were repulsed with the loss of three officers—Captain Le Grand, Lieutenant Massey, and Dr. Clerk, of her Ma jesty's 35th Regiment, and a large number of men . The two guns were spiked and abandoned. "Sir L. Lugard had since crossed the Ganges. "Thu Shannon Naval Brigade, which was re• M _ 31 18&8. , turning to Calcutta, has been stopped at Tassesan and Sherghotty, and the Indian Naval Brigade has moved to Patna. "Kooer Singh's force, by the latest accounts, was intrenching itself at Jung Deespoor (Jugdes poor?).

SMITH O'BRIEN ON 1 FRENCH INVASION. Having exhausted the stock of home subjects, Mr. Smith O'Brien has this week contributed to the /Vation, a long and laboured essay on the state of foreign relations. In it there is one passage in re ference to an event which, perhaps, might as well have been permitted to slumber ; but, as Mr. O'Brien chooses to revive the question, it may be as well to know his real views respecting the re ception of an invading French army in Ireland. He says : " I have been charged by British statesmen with hav ing sought armed assistance from France in 1848. The charge was fal.e, though it received a oertain sanction from the language of M. Lamartine. I invited in 1848 the sympathies of the French people for the cause of Ire land. I invite them still. The French people know perfectly well how to distinguish between the Irish and the English nation. The rec_ption which has recently been given in France to a memoir of Robert Ensmet, beautifully written by a granddaughter of the celebrated Madame Stael—the Countess de Haugsonville—indi cates the feeling of France towards Ireland. This sort of sympathy I cherish, but have no desire to see a French army within the shores of this island. If we cannot acquire and maintain our national rights by our own vigour and public spirit, we shall never acquire or maintain them by the aid of a French army. lam in clined to think that there is in Ireland a considerable section of the population who would prefer to live under French rule rather than under the Govire ment of Great Britain, but I do not participate in this sentiment. I admit, indeed, that the treatielint which the Catholic, of Ireland would have experienced from Franco in comparison with that which they expe rienced from England during the operation of the penal leVie would have been great'y rn favour of French rule. But it is not so now. The constitutional Government of Great Britain is great'y preferable to the arbitrary des potism which now prevails in France. Liberty of speech is wholly unknown in that country, and a police espionage pervades the whole of s ,eiety. With me, at least, no amount of material prosperity could cern peneate this deprivation of liberty. I am, there fore, Tittle disposed to wish that my country should be converted into a French province. Do ❑ot imagine that a French army would aid you to acquire national independence. Wherever the French arms have been borne—whether into Spain, into Ita'y, into Belgium, or Holland—they have been carried for the extension of French power, not with a view to the libe ration of oppressed nationalities. I confess, therefore, that I would earnestly wish to see 300,000 Irishmen under arms when the French colonels prepare to pay their promised visit to London. I believe that the people of Ireland, if properly organised and animated by a noble spirit of self-relying patriotism, would be able to protect this island against every external foe. Perhaps the Irish people if armed might, in the event of hostilities with France, call to mind the precedent set them by their fathers in 1782, and might say, ' We will protect your empire in the hour of its utmost need, but as a preliminary we require the restitution of a Parlia ment to Ireland with unrestricted powers of self-govern ment. Such a demand—such a compact would be p« r fectly legitimate, and would entitle you to thanks such as the Volunteers' of 1782 received, not only from their own countrymen, but from the British Government." TINE O'CONNELL FAMILY. The remains of Mr. John O'Connell were interred yesterday beside those of his brother Maurice in Glasnevin Cemetery. The funeral cortege is said to have been the longest since the burial of O'Connell in 1847. After the body bad been consigned to the vault a meeting was held in the cemetery, fir purpose of taking the preliminary steps towards the formation of a committee to collect subscrip tions to a fund for the relief of the widow and chil dren of the deceased. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided, and resolutions expressive of con dolence with and sympathy for Mrs. O'Conn , 11 and her family were adopted. - The meeting was addressed by the Right Hon. J. D. Fitzgerald, M.P., Mr. Carew O'Dwyer, Mr. Patrick O'Brien, M. P., Sergeant Deasy, &c. A sum amounting to nearly 1,0001. was collected on the spot, and a permanent committee of gentlemen nominated for the purpose of receiving further contributions. DEATH OF CAPT. SIR WM. PEEL, K.C.B. The death of this gallant officer, from small-pox, is communicated to us by the Government telegram, which appears in anotht r column. It is not too much to say that the nation will participate in the grief into which his family are thrown by the mournful event. _ _ _ Capt. Sir Wm. Peel was third son of the late Sir R. Peel, Bart., and born in Nov., 1824. He en tered the navy as midshipman on board the Princess Charlotte, Capt. A. Fansbawe, flag of Admiral Sir R. Stopford, in 1838, and took part in the bom bardment of St. Jean &Acre, from which ship he removed to the Monarch, and afterwards to the Cambrian, Capt. Chads, in which ship of war he served in the China Seas. In 1844 he passed his examination in such a brilliant manner, that he walled forth the warm eulogiums of Sir T. Hastings and Sir C. Napier, and was forthwith promoted to the rank of lieutenant. In May that year he was appointed to the Winchester, 50 guns, on the Cape of Goad Hope station, and shortly alter removed to the Cormorant, steam sloop in the Pacific, and subsequently to the Thalia, 42, on the same station. Sir William was promoted to the rank of commander Juno, 1846, and was appointed to the command of the Daring on the North American and West India station. The lamented captain held several minor commands until the outbreak of the late war with Russia. He was captain of the Diamond, 28, in the Black Sea fleet, and distinguished himself greatly with the Naval Brigade in the Crimea ; and his name will ever be associated with the gallant doings of the Diamond battery before Sebastopol. Capt. Peel was compelled, . from wounds and ovelicaer tion, to return to his native country beforit the fall of that formidable fortress, to recruit his health, but his services were acknowledged by the bestowal of the Victoria Cros'. At the commencement of the differences with China, in 1856, he was appointed to the command of the Shannon, 51, screw frigate, ordered on the China station. Captain Peel had scarce ly reached the Chinese waters before he was ordered by the Ambassador, Lord Elgin, to prom d with troops to Calcut t a to afford assistance in th e sup pression of the mutiny in the Bengal army. Since the Shannon a nchored in the Hooghley Si r Win. Peel's exertions with his brave crew was unrenii ting in carrying out the views of the G overnor - General. He made, with his men, a most rapid progress to Allahabad and into Cawnpore, and, as most of our readers are aware, was severely wounded in the capture of Lucknow, under Gen. Sir Cebu Campbell, by a mu,ket shot in the thigh. Captain Sir W. Peel was made a Companion of the Order of the B ath for his services in the Crimea, and for his recent services in India nominated a Knight-Commander of that order of knighthood. He was also an officer of the Legion of Honour of France, and of the Imperial order of the Medjialie, and had received the Sardinian war medal. Sir William was the favourite son of his illustriou4 fa ther. It is related that in speaking of his son of er the war on the coast of Syria, Sir R. Peel said, " I am indeed proud of my sa for son. ;f he have the opportunity, I feel certain lie will follow the heroic career of ono he seeks to emulate—Nelson." THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AT EPSOM GRIND STAND.— In the course of an eloquent serni , ot yesterday morning at the Surrey Music-hall, the hall being very full, the above rev, gentleman announced his intention of preach ing a sertuon on Friday week from the Grand Stand at Epsom to his fr i ends there, and he also expressed his hope that on the occasion he should be favoured with a large attendance of "outsiders." By the decease of Captain Evans the appointment of Captain of Invalids at Chelsea Hospital has become ‘acant, and' is in the gift of the Earl of Donoughmore, Paymaster-General. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL-DAVISON V. ROBINSON. The further hearing of this part heard appeal was re sumed this moruinr:. Mr. Wilcock, Q.C., and Mr. Toriano were heard fur the appellant. Mr. Rolt, Q C., and Mr. Bagshaw were heard for the defendant. This was an appeal from the usual foreclosure decree by Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood, on a mort gage deed for 3501. Two points arose in this case—let An oljection was taken to the admissibility of a c?py, not authenticated, of the bankrupt's examination before the Commissioner in Bankruptcy. The defendant's attorney, Mr. Walker, and his clerk were examined on oath, and proved the production of the original examination of the bankrupt in this suit — the loss of the original examination upon—and that the copy produced was a true and correct copy of the original exarnit.ation. The Lord Chancellor admitted the copy as evidence. 2. An cxception was then taken to the Vice-Chan ' cellor's decree on the ground of want of consideration for granting the mortgage deed, and undue preference by the bankrupt to the plaintiff, which rendered the wort deed null and void. The Lord Chancellor, after hearing counsel fur the parties on this exception, directed an issue to be tried at the next York Assizes, " whether the bankrupt gave the plaintiff an undue preference by granting to him the mortgage deed in question." The rest of the suit to stand over to abide the result of the trial, with liberty to apply, and the case to come again before his lord ship. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Lords Campbell, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) IMPORTANT JUDGMENT TO AUCTIONEERS-OCKENDEN V. HEN LY. This was an action in which the plaintiff sued the do fendant to recover the amount of deposit forfeited by the defendant's neglect to complete the purchase of some property, and also to recover the deficiency on the re. sale, together with the expenses. It appeared that the plaintiff had put up for sale by auction a cottage and garden, which were knocked down to the defendant for 1201., under the usual conditions. The defend ant signed an agreement, but did nat pay a deposit, and ultimately he refused to complete the pur chase. The plaintiff resold the premises by auction for 105/ , and sued the defendant to recover the deposit money, 241. ; the deficiency, 151. ; and the costs of re. sale, 91. ss. ; and at the trial which took place before ' Mr. Justice Erie at Westminster, in Hilary term last, lb verdict was directed to be entered for the plaintiff for these three sums. Subsequently a rule was granted to reduce the damages to 241. 55., being the amount of de ficiency and expenses of resale. The question wag whether the vendor in such a case was entitled to the deposit in addition to the deficiency and expenses on re sale. It was admitted that, at all events, the vendor would be entitled to the amount of the deposit, but it was contended that if he chose to resell the property be could only recover the deficiency and expenses on re . sale. The condition on which the question turned • was : "That if the purchaser shall fail to comply with these conditions the deposit money shall be actually forfeited to the vendor, who shall be at full liberty to resell the lot bf public auction or private contract, and any deficiency that may arise upon such resale, together with all expenses at• tending the same, shall immediately after such second isle be made good by such defaulter, and on ion-payment. thereof such amount shall be recoverable by the vendor ae and for liquidated damages, without the necessity of pre' viously tendering an assignment or other assurance to the, defaulter, but any increase of price that may be produce(' at such second sale shall belong to the vendor." Lord Campbell, in delivering judgment, said it IVO was well settled at common law, following out the rule of civil law, that pecuniary deposits on purchases were to be considered payment in part of the purchase-moue' , and not as a mere pledge. Therefore, in this case, if the deposit had been paid the balance only of the purchase' money would have remained payable. The Cocri thought the plaintiff was only entitled to the differenc e between the balance of the purchase-money on the fir st sale and the money obtained upon the re-sale. T h e judgment of the Court was that the verdict ought to be reduced to 245. 9J. Judgment accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Dap•) MARLBOROUGH STREET.

On Satui day afternoon a hogshead of sugar wag del vered to a carman named Sears, from one of the sug o warehouses ic the West India Dock.
