Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties, or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in Such arrangements. The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous 17 11011 policies have been required to cover monetary transactions, or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com 11anies before the present system was instituted by this office.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persona entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated witheut incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret saccz..ed the heyday of inconsiderateself-indulgence, how those pe apyhysical infir mitybe avoided, pe nalties may be mitigated , how the stin g of their bitterness may be andil is scar i c t e s ly co a n n s y eq d u e e u n c 9 e e s o m f or functional derangement t o a an m d , a above a n a d l , h t w a t t t h h e e r e e v which the timely aid of science Cannot apply a cure.

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTiLE.- It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebi:ty is worldwide. It lips been a subject of wonder, and has puzzl' I many a brain to explain how this has been brought aboui;. Yet when we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the fold, or wonder will cease. A few drys since, a gentleman wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." He tri 1 all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect wa3 wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed Won° from the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77, Newgate-street, London, for a pamphlet which is sent post frco. TO THE NERVOUS AND DEBILITATED.

The matter was referred to the Viceroy, who has always been uncompromisingly opposed to quaran tine and lazarettos, and his private sentiments on the aubject, are well known ; but he 'refused to interfere with* the decision of the Sanitary Com mittee. A remedy, however; - was finally hit upon by Nubar Bey, the director of the Transit Administra tion, and it was decided that the passengers and cargo should be conveyed across by an express train, to be kept throughout the journey in a state of strict in sulation. This plan 'was accordingly carried into execution, and the Indian passengers, doubtless to their great relief, left for Suez yesterday afternoon. I have entered at some length into the details of this matter, because it points to a possible source of serious delay and inconvenience to the Indian transit, which during latter years at least had well nigh been completely lost sight of: In the present case, however, the grounds for so extreme a measure as that at first resolved upon seem so slight that the decision of the Egyptian authorities may well excite surprise. Had there been any authenticated case of plague at Malta, it might have been necessary to submit without re mark, but the reverse is known to be the case, and this with a notoriously vigilant health department at the port upon which suspicion is sought to be cast. The health of the crew and of the 230 pas sengers on board the Pactolus, however, continues good, and, notwithstanding the strong probability that the whole fabric will ultimately be found based upon an erroneous opinion concerning the cause of a death at sea, a measure is decided upon which must necessarily cause serious inconvenience and injury both to the transit and to the general trade of the country. PRICE 4D.

'it is still confidently hoped that amic able arrangements will be come to. Two Chiriese of high rank had arrived at Tien-sin from Pekin, and a meeting took place between them and the Ambassadors of the allied Powers. This oc curred on the 4th inst. We learn, however, that on the exchange of " powers" those of the Chinese were not considered sufficient, and the , conference did not proceed. Reference was again to be made to Pekin, f a e n r d e n a c t e the wa lasts appointed, there w a b s u a t in report uch that uncertaintyanothe pre vailed r con as to whether the Chinese would be able to present the powers required by the Ambassadors. Orders had previously reached this for reinforce ments to be kept in readiness rin case later advices should render it necessary to send them to the North. This morning three steamers pave left for the Peiho —her Majesty's steamer Retribution, lately arrived from the Pacific, her Majesty's steamer Fury, and the transport steamer Adventure. The latter has on board her Majesty's 59th Regiment, under the com mand of Col. Graham. Several French men-of-war have lately left for the North, among them the Gironde, which took up the 800 Marines that ar rived from France on board of her. The imposing force that will soon be collected in the North will, it is hoped, aid diplomacy. It is to be regretted, however, the season is so far advanced, and this may.e_ copies a, Suspension of action for the present: At Canton matters are as unsatisfactory as possi-. ble. The small results from the late expedition against the " braves " have emboldened them very much, and several acts of atrocity have been com mitted by the Chinese against foreigners, both civil and military, in Canton and the neighbourhood. We hear through an official source that it is the in tention of the Chinese Government to get as many foreigners' heads as they can, and it is thought not improbable that when Lord Elgin hears the state of things which exists the blockade of the river will be again put on. We have received a copy of a proclamation issued by the newly appointed Viceroy, Hwang, but it is too late to get a translation of it. Hwang, it is under stood, calls upon the Cantonese to use every effort to retake the city. A meeting of foreigners has been held at Canton to take into consideration the best means of protect ing themselves in case of attack. Three chops of the new tea had arrived, but all was second-class tea; 25 to 27 taels talked of. As to the prospects of the supply of tea for the season, it is too early to form any opinion that can be de pended upon, but the following particulars may be worth consideration. The supply of tea at Canton for the ensuing season it was expected would be about 400 to 500 chops. Owing to the imposts and the pre sence of the rebels in many of the districts through which the teas have to pass, the quantity to be sent to Shanghai would be limited. The crop of tea, on the whole, it was anticipated, would not be larger than last year's, and there is little or no old stock to work upon. Deducting the old teas gone forward this year, the exports would barely reach 60 millions of pounds. A telegraphic message for Malta was despatched to Corfu on the 3d inst., which it is hoped will reach in time to prevent the steamer with the outward Bombay mails from communicating with the island. The Viceroy, after having passed the festival of the Courban Bairam at Cairo, has returned to Alex andria, and is residing at his palace of El-Maks, in. the neighbourhood of the town. The proposed iasuo of Treasury bonds has followed the fate of the pro jected loan, and is not to take effect. Tha Viceroy declares that he will pay off the Government emit% tors in cash. A short interval of economy, the ample resources of his revenue, and the absence of any e x . w eia e l re aff i a n i t r r s od of introduced intot he pensive public work (the S uez Railway being alre a dy provided for) will doubtle ss ena bl e hi m to do this, and it is, perhaps, the b es t course h. 3 Could adopt ; but it were well-that at the s ame ti me a more provi addenmtinainsdtraotriotrolyf thesy fistenman Govern ment.

In my last letter I wrote of the state of anxiety that prevailed throughout the country lest a re awakening of the religious; fanaticism of the people should give rise to disturbances. This danger has happily passed away. On the Ist inst. her Majesty's ship Princess itoyal arrived here from Malta, and is now at anchor off the port, but there fortunately appears to he not the slightest chance of her services being called into requisition for our protection. Even from Gaza we have had no further reports to keep alive the first feelings of alarm, and most people are convinced that the accounts received thence were grossly exag4erated, and that the disturbance arose rather from a sudden panic anionj the Cluj-Vans THE LAUNCH OF THE MERSEY. Another attempt was made yesterday afternoon at Cha tham dockyard to launch her Majesty's large screw frigate Met sey, 40, which refused to quit the stocks on the previous day, and the efforts of those employed in the operation were crowned with complete success, the Mersey being now safely afloat alongside the dockyard. The failure in the attempted launch on Thursday afternoon appeared to take every per son by surprise, as such a circumstance had not been known to occur at Chatham dockyard for a very great number of years; and even now no satisfactory reason for the non launching of the vessel can be arrived at. It was not until after 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon that the efforts to go t her olf the stocks were abandoned, and Mr. Laire, the mas ter shipwright, reluctantly gave the orders to discontinue the attempts that day. and issued directions to shore up to prevent her rushing down the " ways" into the river in a sudden tit. Itzunediately the huge vessel was made secure a minute examination of the ship, the " ways," the cradle, and, indeed, every other part of the ship, was instituted, in order to ascertain why the hitch had occurred. It was at first supposed that that part of the slip which had been recently added had sunk in some minute degree so as th affect the incline of the " ways," but on examination not the slighre.t sinking, even to the mi nutest past of an in inch, could be detected, a satisfactory proof of the excellent manner in which the ship had been constructed by Messrs. Rigby, the contractors. The" ways" were then examined, and these were found to be in perfect order, the " camber" of tke vessel being even a trifle more than is usually the case in consequence of the itutwenae length of the Mersey. The only conclusion arrived at to ac count for the hanging of the ship was that of adhesion, a fea, ture not altogether unknown in the launching of large yea-. sels, the supposition being that the great weightof the /ler• sty—lncreased too by 100 tons of machinery which had been put on board—had caused her to adhere so tightly to die " ways" as to require a force of no ordinary description to lift her and give her a slight start. Several gangs of ship wrights were accerdinely employed up to a late hour on Thursday night, commencing again at four o'clock yesterday morning, in putting down additional blocks and screws to ease her off. Four large hydraulic presses were also borrowed from the yards of Messrs. Foord and Sons and Mr. Gill, at Rochester, to be used in the attempt to move her, the Government este blishment at Chatham being without any machinery of th a t description. Several large t alus were alse placed at the st ern of the ship to exert their force on the sullen mass. The time decided on is make the second attempt tioiclhautnimche the Mersey was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, at there was sufficient water to float her off. At ttiat IsTautriotleri. Laire and Mr. Finchatn , the master Shipwrights themselves at the head of the vessel; Mr. Cheesenian, her builder, sof - he-intending the operations of the men below. At a given signal the dog-shores and blocks were simultaneously knocked away, and the pressure from the four hydraulic presses brought to bear against the vessel's stern. The ship wAsseta at tee same moment forced the rams by means of powerful wedges, against the ship, which could no longer resist the tremendous force applied, and in about five minutes the cry arose, " She's off," and in an instant afterwards the large vessel was seen gliding down the " ways " into the waters of the Medway, which ' 4l ° appeared to be so re l uc t ant to enter. laowithstand ing the disappointment many thousands had to endure the previous day there was egain an Immense number of specta tors present, as it was pretty well known that the Ship could not resist the force about to be used in getting her off the tocks. As the Mersey floated into the river those on shore and on board the vessel loudly cheered. After the launch, aaother examination of the " ways" and slip was made, but no fault whatever mild be found i n e i t h er to account for the Waite in the first attempt, which, as we prev:ously stated, was doubtless caused by adhesion. Tue Mersey will he masted and jury-rigged at Chatham, after which site will be navigated to Portsmouth to be made ready for sea, it being understood that she is to form one of the Channel Fleet of large line-of-battle ships and frigates. She is pierced for the following powerful at 'lament :—Main deck, 28 10-inch Rung, each 84cwt. and 0 feet 4 inches in length; upper deck, 12 68., peunderpivots, each 93cwt. and 10 feet in length. From the power of tier engines (1,000- horse), she is expected to attain a great speed afloat. The next vessel to be launched at Chatham dockyard is the Charybdis, 22, screw corvette; to be followed b y the Hood, tit-gun lice-of-battle screw steamer.

"Oude is yet the grand gathering place of the dis affected, and the last which calls for regular opera. tions. It is destined yet, we fear, to be the field o a crowning expedition. " Brut, meanwhile, it is indispensable that measures be taken to restore order in the Benares division, the districts of Behar and Goruckpore, and the whole of that region, which is swarming with banditti. Ladies are now forbidden to pass beyond Benares. We have, at this moment, letters .before us which describe the deplorable state of chaos into which those divisions have fallen. The thannah of Bikrum in Patna, of Jehana in Behar, and of Rug hoonautbpore in Sarun, have been burnt. At Gya the jail was attacked, and the prisoners were re leased to swell the roving banditti of murderers, who mutilate and slay every individual they can catch who has given proofs of fidelity to England. Mea sures are being taken to reinforce the police and the detachments of the naval brigade ; and, no doubt, after wreaking a vast amount of mischief and cruelty, the dacoits will hurry away to join the still undis persed and larger musters of rebels in Oude. Mean while at Jugdespore parties 4)f 'troops are still busy cutting down or through the jungle—fighting and clearing alternately. " At an earlier date, on the 12th ult., Sir hope Grant set out from Lucknow with 5,000 men, 2,000 of whom were cavalry, to attack the Begum, at the head of 20,000 rebels, at Nawabgunge. They fore stalled him, and attacking him on every side, were thoroughly beaten, with a loss of nearly 1,000 men and seven guns. They fled back to Nawabgunge. On the 15th, Juggernaut Singh, Rajah of Powayne, an ally of ours, was attacked by the Moulvie of Lucknow, Ahmoor-dullah Shah, about sixteen miles to the north-east of Shahjehanpore, with a large force of cavalry and some guns. The fight lasted three hours, and the Moulvie was shot, and his head was then severed from his body, our ally gaining a complete victory. " Again, at Nawabgunge, another combat of a rather sanguinary kind took place on the 20th, in which we took seven guns, and killed many of the rebels. " On the whole, as a war, we are fast getting the insurrection under ; but the more scattered the rebels are, the more we need reinforcements to spread our own columns with safety for the purpose of hunt ing them down." By.the arrival of the Calcutta mail at Marseilles we (Times) have received our private correspondence from India and China. The following is the letter of our Calcutta correspondent : " CALCUTTA, JULY 3. " Gwalior fell upon the 19th of June. On the 17th an engagement was fought in the cantonment of Morar, of which we are as yet totally without parti culars. On the 18th Brigadier Smith, who was ad vancing from Sepree with his brigade, was attacked by a division of the insurgents, headed by the Ranee of Jhansi. This girl, barely 20 years of age, has been all her life immured in the seraglio. She was, however, absolute in her domains, and, like most Asiatic women in the same position, gave herself up to the most extreme licentiousness. Her rooms, it is said, when entered by the troops, were hullg with pictures such as pleased Tiberius at Capri. Whatever her vices she had energy and courage, and while Tanteea Topee prepared for flight, she led her own retainers and some sepoys to the attack. They re fused, however, to stand in the plain, and retreated towards the low hills, and finally on the Phoolbagh. Two troops of the Bth Hussars followed at speed through a narrow ravine 'to - the camp, and there drove a body of the fugitives to bay. The Ranee and her sister, in men's clothes, headed the defence, and were both slain in the first charge. The Hussars were all armed with revolvers, which did terrible execution.! !Some 400 of the enemy were killed, the tents were set on fire, and it was not till the little band had spiked three of the guns and found themselves enveloped by the rebels that they re- tired. They had lost five men, and about ten more perished from sun-stroke and fatigue. In the even ing Sir Hugh Rose, with the Cntral India field force, joined the Brigadier. On the following morning the enemy again attacked, but after a desperate struggle were driven back by her Ma jesty's 95th. The 86th were advanced to support, and both regiments, half mad with excitement, charged the enemy up the hill under a heavy fire, seized the standing camp at the top, and awaited orders. Sir h ugh Rose moved his cavalry and i artillery up the hill, and the sepoys, disheartened by the loss of the position, by the death of their only capable leader, and by the appearance of reinforce ments, showed symptoms of confusion. They were observed by Sir Hugh Rose, the whole army was let loose and swept down into the plain. The enemy fled, the city and standing camp were seized, and the fort alone remained. During the night this also was deserted, except by some fanatics, who next morning charged on the 25th, the Bombay Native Infantry. They were all killed, with the loss of Lieutenant - Rose on our side, and the fort was in our hands. On the same day, the Maharajah, escorted by the Hussars, was conveyed to his palace amid the accla mations of the people. His officers returned to their duties, his harem arrived in safety, and on the 22d the traces of the revolution had disappeared from Gwalior. The enemy fled, part towards Jeypore, and part to Joura, north-west of the city. Thither they were followed by Colonel Napier, the officer selected to command th e f orc e during le illness of Sir Hugh Rose. Cumbered with guns which they would neither desert nor defend, they were over taken on the 22d, and the whole of their artillery, 25 pieces, fell into our hands. Sixteen more were taken in the Lushkur on the 19th, and the enemy are reduced to a few light camel guns, not of much use against the Minie. The remaining division when last heard of was at Ilindoun, and it was still doubtful whether they would make for Jeypore or Bhurtpore. The latter is more probable. The fortress has an old reputation, the population are warlike, and though the fortifications are now only of earth, they are still defensible. They cannot enter the town without the consent of the local soldiery, but after the example of Gwalior it is impossible to rely on any body of native troops. The Govern or- General has issued the following order on the occasion : " FOREIGN DEPARTMENT, ALLAHABAD, JUNE 24. ci c Th e Right lion. the Governor-General has the highest gratification in announcing that _the town and f a rt o f Gwa lior were conquered by Major-G . eneral Sir Hugh Rose on the 19th inst. after a ge.neral action, in which the rebels who had usurped the authority of Maharajah Scindia were totally defeated. Oa the 20th June the Maharajah Scindia, at tended by the Governor-General's agent for Central India and Sir Hugh Rose, and escorted by British t roops , was restnred to the palace of his ancestors, and was welcomed by his subjects with every mark of loyalty and attachment. It was on the Ist of June that. Ana rebels, aided by the treachery of some of Maharajah Seindia s troops, seized the capital of hi s Highness's kingdom, and hoped to establish a new go vernment under a pretender in his Highness's territory. Eighteen days had not elapsed before they were compelled to evacuate the town and fort of Gwalior, and to relinquish the authority which they had endeavou re d t o usurp.

" 6. The two major-generals have well sustained the honour of their presidencies. " 7. The siege of Kotah and the acti on o f B an d a ta k e rank among the achievements of the war. " 8. The Commander-iu-Chief offers his best thanks to Major- General Roberts, to Major-General Whitlock, a(1 the various corps under their command. He 'is happy in welcoming them to the Presidency of Bengal. "' By order of his Excellency the Commander-in- Chief. " ' W. MAYHEW, Lieutenant-Colonel, Adjutant- General of the Army." The Commander-in-Chief is too chary of his praise. Sir Hugh Rose has done wonders ' and has proved that constant ser v i ce i n th e bureau does not always disqualify a general for the field. The fall of the city has had a most excellent effect. All kinds of scoundrels who were raising their heads in Etawah, Agra, and Mynpoorie, have subsided again. Lej Sing, the rebel Rajah of the last-named district, has surrendered, only stipulating for a trial before execution, and there is a general change of tone in the North-west. Oude is now the last hope of the insurgents. Everywhere else their military power is shattered or destroyed. Tanteea Topee, who alone has an army, has no guns. The petty leaders who in almost every district keep up an . archY and render the collection 'of revenue im possible have no military power. Ummur Singh, who is harassing Behar, has not .1,000 men left. The 6,000 rebels at Soraon, near Allahabad, are only formidable because they can escape when threatened into Oude. K.er Singh is dead. The Ranee of Jhansi has been killed. The Moulyie, who commanded at Mahum dee, has been decapitated by the zemindars or Powaeen, the Nana is skulking, and Feroze Shah, the Delhi Prince, does not venture to leave Oude. He, I am told, is now the hope of the mutineers ' and as the last son °t i the house of Tim - our commands the sympathies of all Mahomedans. In Oude itself the position is 'as bad as it can well be. There are re gular armies at Bareitch, at Fyzabad, at Khyrabad, and moving along the southern frontier. We hold only the capital and Nawabgunge, where Sir H. Grant on the lath inst. gained a victory. The Begum and her paramour, Mumnoo Khan, had ad vanced too near the capital. Sir H. Grant there fore resolved to disperse them. The sepoys at tempted to defend a small bridge over a ravine, but slunk away under the fire of the Horse Artillery. Sir H. Grant crossed, but only to find himself at tacked by a mob of armed budmashes, the generic name in India for men who in Europe were once called " bravos." These men, actuated by some un intelligible caprice, stood up to the contest in the open plain, met the 60th Rifles hand to hand, and almost beat back a cavalry charge. They were, however, dispersed with the loss of seven guns, and the Begum disappeared. In all other districts Bri tish authority is powerless. Maun Singh is besieged near Fyzabad for being supposed friendly to the British, and all zemindars who express a willingness to submit are massacred. The scene is a painful one, but we can do nothing till the arrival of the cold weather and of the reinforcements expected in October. ________ Your readers must not imagine that because Oude is the last province left to conquer the other pro vinces of the North-West are at peace. Except in Rohilcund and the Delhi division there is no peace anywhere. In Delhi the wonderful organising faculty of Sir John Lawrence has re-established regular government, and there is as much order as in the Punjaub. IR Rohileund the landholders have submitted, and are hunting the sepoys. Everywhere else order is maintained only by the sabre's edge, and the revenue is collected by military force. A wide amnesty is, however, to be issued in a few days in Bundlecund, and that province will be closed against intrigue. In the remaining districts we are slowly organising bands of light horse, chiefly Sikh, and with the reconquest of Oude the last hope of the Pindarees will be taken away. We shall then have leisure for that reorganisation which has become so indispensable. The Commander-in-Chief has offi cially confirmed the statement that his plan of cam paign— was - overruled by the Governor-General. There is some nonsense talked in India about this. Since the empire was founded the Governor-General has always planned the campaign. Warren Hastings never consulted anybody, except when he had Sir Eyre Coote by his side. Lord Dalhousie most cer tainly drew up his own plans, and used to write terrible letters to urge General Godwin, in Pegu, to adhere to them, instead of to his somewhat anti quated ideas of warfare. In truth, it cannot be otherwise. The Governor-General is, and must be, an absolute sovereign, and to give the Commander in-Chief the power to dictate in all military arrange ments is simply to create two rulers. "We have bad news from Behar. After his suc cesses at Jugdespore, Sir E. Lugard's force was bro ken up, Brigadier Douglas moving to Benares, and he himself to Jugdespore. The enemy, who had retreated towards Benares, immediately doubled back and made for Jugdespore. Colonel Douglas was recalled, but was unable to move, having only about 90 Europeans fit for duty. The rebels near Sherghotty encountered a body of 150 prisoners, sent under escort to Sasseram. The Nugeeb guard of 50 men, recently levied, immediately fraternized, murdered the Darogah, and released the prisoners. The rebels then divided, Ameer Singh proceeding to Jugdespore, while a detachment invaded Gya. The former compelled Captain ltattray, with his Sikhs, who had been left by Sir E. Lugard to watch the jungle, to retreat, and began murdering the coolies who were cutting roads. They mutilated a number, and the remainder fled. One unhappy wretch was seen by a European—l can prove this—buried up to his neck, for the kites to pick out his eyes. Ile was quite dead. All natives serving with Government are threatened with the same treatment, till there has been a general panic among employes. The latter body marched to Gya, bribed the gaol guard, released the prisoners, and left the town, which they were afraid to attack. They are now near Tikarce, apparently besieging the Ranee, an old lady of enormous wealth. The people are not by any means disposed to side with them, but they seem cowed, and in the last four months 9,000 of them have arrived in Calcutta on their way to the Mauritius. They bring their women, a thing they never would do before, and will probably settle in the island. The colonial Government are still crying for more, and what with our own troops, Ameer Singh, and emigration, society in Bhojpore will be as much changed as society in Connaught. '" The necessity of defendidg Bengal seems at last to be recognised. We have now 2,600 men in Cal cutta, 1,700 in Dumdum, 900 in Barrackpore, and 1,200 sailors scattered over some 13 stations. These men have been just attached to the Indian navy, thereby coming under martial law, and are to be in creased to 2,000. A force of European policemen is also, it is said, to be organised in each division, the divisional battalions being abandoned as unsafe instruments. It is still necessary, however, to or ganise a native force for Behar, where we have ob viously not sufficient strength to keep down the armed classes. " A curious question has been recently decided by the Supreme Government. hoer Singh's estates were heavily mortgaged. Are the mortgages ex tinguished by the act of confiscation ? Government has decided that they are—a decree which throws part of the punishment for rebellion on innocent persons. The consequence in some districts will be to ruin the people, who have not rebelled, as well as the landholders who have. Moreover, by this ex tinction of all deeds, confiscation, nominally confined to the landholder, extends to the whole of his tenantry. All subholdings disappear as in a Govern ment sale, and the district as well as the family are ruined. Ido not quite see the remedy, but the na tives think the z smindar's right only should be extinguished, as when a native sovereign transfers a jaghire. " Nothing is yet known of Lord Canning's move ments, though it is reported to-day that he has re signed. Ido not believe the statement." INDIA AND CHINA. We have received our Calcutta papers by the Overland Mail. The following is the editorial review of the Bengal Hurkaru, dated Calcutta, July 3 : " The state into which the insurrection has now resolved itself is curious. We have recovered all the fortresses, one after another, which the mutineers had dared to seize as points which they had hoped to make so many centres of regular operations ; and, as our forces cannot be everywhere at once, the muti neers have successively fallen upon a few strongholds from which they had been already driven on former occasions, but which they were enabled to re-enter, simply because we had stripped them of their garri sons in order to have men in the field. " The general result of this incessant game of hide and-seek is, however, more and more salient and per ceptible as the struggle continues ; and we may now say with strict exactness that, in the first place, the rebels no longer retain a single position in all India which they could make even a show of defending in r the presence of any of our moveable columns ; and, in the second place, the points which' they hold, as it were, provisionally, and in our necessary absence from any given locality (evacuated by us in order to operate elsewhere) are places of inferior importance, as well as visibly reduced in number. In short, we have, in this sense, obtained at last a complete mas tery of the rebellion, that we occupy actually nearly all the strong places throughout India, nearly all the military centres and strategic points, and that there is not one such spot left which we cannot take at plea sure. " In addition to this broad and general result, we have taken so many guns and stores in the hundreds of nameless collisions, which have all, or almost all, eventuated in victories, and we have, in the main, succceeded in inflicting so incessant a carnage, not upon any one field so much as in engagements that hardly offer a grasp to narrative, that not only the moral energies but the physical resources of our bru talised and irreclaimable enemy are now obviously betraying the effect. " Wherever a British force appears, there it is master ; and yet the immensity of the country baffles, not the military, but the constabulary efforts of our army. " It is impossible that the mutineers should not feel—and, indeed, they show that they feel—the ul timate hopelessness of their situation. It is no longer a war, it is a bloody and cruel hunt, in which the hunted wreak all the atrocities of their despair upon the villages and districts through which they fly. " The sepoys began with audaciously high aims. They would, at this moment, be less out of heart, had they not tried an ambitious game ; had they, from the outset, contented themselves with that sys tem of flight, plunder, and assassination into which their operations have sunk at last. But they would hold Delhi, they would rebuild the Mogul Empire, they would issue proclamations, they would ape a regular Government and a regular army, they would invite their followers and well-wishers to judge them by the open stand they attempted against all the power of England, and by their success in de fending the seats of ancient indigenous authority in which they had collected their strength. These scenes, bearing names to conjure with' in the native imagination, and venerable to Hindoo or Mussulman by a thousand traditions of 'eastern grandeur, have been wrenched from the grasp of the rebels by the most inadequate numerical forces, and this in the face of all India, which was, as it were, bidden to the spectacle, and anxiously watched the result of the open challenge. The ideas of an equal conflict are dispelled for ever ; the very prophecies circu lated so industriously among a superstitious and grovelling population, the appeals made to the books they were taught to revere, announcing the close of our dominion as the decree of destiny reserved for fulfilment at this exact epoch, all have contri buted to deepen the shock which their secret expec tations have sustained; anir what was undertaken with the undisguised profession of the wildest hopes is now persevered in from the dictates of equally undisguised despair. " The rebels themselves feel the rebellion, in all its original purposes, to be a grand failure. And if we add, the death of nearly all the leaders who first duped them into their career of infructuous and un availing crimes, we can realise the despondency which has succeeded to sanguineness. " But, if all this be true in a military sense, it is not less true that the thorough unmanning and dis couragement of the enemy is highly unfavourable to our cause,' and renders the pacification and re settlement of the country the more difficult. " So complete are the disruption and demoralisation of the ex-armies of the sepoys, that, with the excep tion of Oude, and of that large force which Sir Hugh Rose has been driving headlong before him for more than forty days, over many hundred miles of country, those armies make no longer the least pretence to their recent character, and have broken up into robber gangs, with whom murder, not battle, is a possibility; and the plunder of isolated than nabs and zemindaries, not the seizure of great fast nesses, the only remaining ambition. To follow all these gangs in detail through their devious maraud ings would necessitate such a sub-division of our forces as their numbers would render highly impru dent. In our last overland summary we described the career of the last sepoy army deserving the name, which still affected to keep the field, after Sir Hugh Rose had beaten it out of Calpee, and sent it, denuded of artillery, broken, although desperate, and abandoning its wounded along the track of its flight to Gwalior. There, it had to deal with only our native allies, the troops of Scindiah, two-thirds of whom behaved like cowards or traitors, and left their Maharajah in the midst of an engagement. We then expressed a hope that, flushed with this temporary success so soon after their overthrow, the rebels might be infatuated enough to wait for Sir Hugh Rose, and give him battle again. " Our hopes have been realised. On the 19th of Tune Sir Hugh Rose dated from the Palace of Gwa lior a new despatch announcing a decisive victory after five hours' fighting. Our overland summaries have been lately filled with the name of this most capable and strenuous soldier ; and we trust that the gratitude of his country, never slow to pick out merits so real and so splendid al his, may avail itself of this opportunity to encourage emulation by the unstinted rewards conferred upon an illustrious ex ample. What adds to the merit of his last achieve ments is, that he was ill, and it was supposed that Brigadier Napier mould have been obliged to under take command. " He captured 16 guns, 70 elephants, and a great quantity of warlike stores, in the combat to which we have adverted; and Brigadier Napier, a very vigorous, accomplished, and able soldier, pursued the runagates, and captured 25 guns more and other mu nitions, three days later. The rebels were reported to have taken a westerly direction ; but they had not reached, as was at first supposed, Jeypore or Bhurt pore. The whole of the fugitives from Gwa for reached Hindoun on the 24th ult., and two days afterwards they were estimated, with camp followers, at 15,000. From Agra troops were following them. The Governor-General meantime proclaimed, in jus tifiably haughty terms, the quick re-instalment of Scindiah in his Maharaj. " The outbreak in Bombay has been vigorously repressed, and the chief of Nurgoond and others have been hanged, and unless some of the numerous beaten gangs now wandering over the country make their way towards the north of the Deccan, and con trive to raie the Mahrattas, we believe the Wektern CHINA. lIONG KONG, JUNE 22. The steamer Pekin, with the mail of the 10th of May, arrived on the 19th inst. The Cadiz, with the outward mails, leaves to-day. His Excellency Baron de Chassiron was pas3eng2r by the Pekiii. We understand he has co me out -on a special mission to Baron Gros. We also hear that 5,000 French troops have been ordered out for ser vice in these parts. Our dates from the Peiho are to the 11th inst. In our last we advised that it was the intention to advance the allied forces on to Tien-sin. We are glad to be able to report that thi s was accompl i s h ed without any resistance being shown by the Chinese after the taking of the forts at the mouth of the riv( r. Several steamers were anchored off the town, and a position had been taken up on shore, where the Am bassadors were lodged with a guard of honour.
