The contest has been decided in one branch of the. Legislature. It is still waging in the other. Notwithstanding the disclaimer of any factious motives by Lord SHAFTESBURY, the House re sponded to the truth and accuracy of Lord DERBY's statements and arguments, and sympathised with the high-minded and chivalrous declarations of the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH. The result was a majority of 25 of the Peers who heard or participated in the discussion against the factious motion which was reduced to 10 by the activity of the hunters after proxies. The decision of the Lords was, doubtless, a serious disappointment to the Pal merstonians. We do not see how Lord SHAFTESBURY can henceforth insist on the bitter observance of the Sabbath, when he lent himself to the conspiracy hatched at Cambridge Rouse on Sunday last. _ _ _ The manly and straightforward speech of Lord ELLZNBOROUGH must have carried conviction with it to every disinterested and unprejudiced person. It enhances the regret that must be felt through out the entire kingdom at his resignation of the office for which he was incomparably the best qualified man in the United Kingdom. He might not have written or forwarded the despatch, and probably would not have published it had Mr. SMITH— late of Cannon Row—furnished the in formation which, in justice and eTrity, he was bound to forward to his successor, but which was unfairly and unjustifiably withheld. He might, we say, have changed his plans, but as it was we honour him for the decision and promptitude with which he repudiated the act of wholesalespoliation and published that repudiation to the world; boldly declaring that he neither invited nor dreaded the resignation of Lord CANNING. There is but one point about the entire transaction for which Lord ELLENBOROUGH can be blamed in the slightest degree. It was for the resignation which he sent in without con sulting his colleagues, knowing that they would unanimously reject the sacrifice, and believing that no amount of factious feeling—no greed for office, could stimulate any persons to go on after the only person who could fairly be held respon sible had expiated his offence, if offence it could. be called. But while on this point, and this only, We condemn—we must also admire. There are faults that almost become virtues, and such was the sole mistake of Lord ELLENBOROUGH. Under the circumstances it was impossible to cast cen sure on his colleagues, who were totally un 'tuainted with the intended publication l Whe• %her that publication were right or wrong, 11t3y 'could neither claim praise, nor receive reproach. In the CcanonP, Mr. CARDWELL shrunk fro . n the real p o i nt in dispute. Ho knew that th e E m u s could not sanction or maintain the intend e d confiscation, and theref ore r he emphatically de clared that " on the proclamatio n it . was not his intention to ask the Souse 110 give any judg ment." This siding off on a co t atyesuoLfstsipteuctial eral issue might do very well during the palmy d e a r s g d emurr ers, when paltry quibbles w for sound argument ; but it was unbecoming ed a would-be Minister of the Crown, and unsuitable to the atmosphere of a legislative assembly. Admirably did Sir HUGH CAIRNS administer the castigation so well merited by both Mr. CAxD 'WELB and Mr. VERNON SMITH. His brilliant speech was worthy of the best days of British oratory, when there were intellectual giants in the land. It exhausted the entire subject, and might be placed on record as a noble vindication of the Ministerial policy and proceedings with respect to India, on which they might rest their case. The ex-President of the India Board winced and writhed under the lash. He again displayed his petulant insolence, and manifested' even more strongly than ever his total incapacity and unfitness for office. It is difficult to say whether ridicule or condemnation prevailed — both were well merited—he felt that he deserved them, and lost his temper. He attempted to play the bully on a small scale, but received a painful although salutary lesson, that insolence was not argument, or unblushing assertion substantial truth. He couli not, by any amount of raillery, dispose of the stubborn fact, that he had impro perly kept back an important despatch, which he was bound, by every principle of duty and honour, to communicate to his successor in office, but which, after consultation with Lord PALMERSTON, he carefully and deliberately suppressed. The debate will be resumed on Monday, but although the recognised leaders remain to be heard, we cannot anticipate any improvement on the masterly address of Sir HUGH M e CALMONT CAIRNS. It should be stated that the real majority for Ministers was ten. One Peer, Viscount FALK LAND, voting as Lord HKAISDON, being twice en tered—viz., in person, and by proxy. What course will be pursued by the inde pendent Liberals on the factious vote of censure ? We can easily anticipate what the leaders will do —what every man with any regard to his political reputation will consider to be his bounden duty. But there are small fry seeking for place, and there is no doubt that the biddings will be high from the hungry expectants of office. It will, how ever, be an unfortunate move for those who suffer themselves to be seduced by the glittering bait. The country will judge more justly of the matter than the cliques, who care but little for the opinions of their constituencies, so long as there is not an impending dissolution. But should there be a hostile vote Lord DERBY will unques tionably not resign without an appeal to the people. Lord PALMERSTON adopted that course on a previous occasion, and the result justified his opinion. We believe that on the present occasion it would be still more remark able, and that there would be even a greater infusion of new blood. Those who have as yet explained their views have spoken clearly and unequivocally. Mr. DILLWYN and Mr. LINDSAY have shown that they will not give a factious vote to replace a really Tory Government, sheltering itself under a mask of liberality. Never was there a time when the Liberal cause depended more on the course pursued by professing Liberals. As we have already stated, however, the nation will not be misled by any sophistries that may be resorted to, in order to justify a factious and un warrantable proceeding. THE CAMBRIDGE HOUSE PLOT. MEETING AT LORD PALMERSTON'S. A meeting was held at Cambridge House yes terday. Upwards of 200 members of the House of Commons were present, and considerable unanimity prevailed. It was agreed that every effort should be made to turn out the Government, and the opinion was generally expressed that this ought to be done, without loss of time. In the event of a dissolution many of his Lordship's present friends might find it very inconvenient to attend another meeting of non-official intriguers ! Indeed, one member with more frankness than was pleasant expressed a hope that if they succeeded in their laudable endeavours to effect a turn out, the new Government would not include such pre cious stones as the CLANRICARDE jewel! Where upon a murmur of applause and suppressed sobs of " No ! no 1" mingled with " Hear, hears ! " rather discomposed the conviviality of the expec tants 1 What the answer of their Premier wa4 seemed to awaken a very lively misgiving in some, while others muttered that the whisper of the joke was something like—Di, do, (bon ! THE SUPPRESSED LETTER: SECOND EXHIBITION BY MR. SMITH. Extraordinary as was the statement which Mr. SMITH delivered on Thursday night, and which we noticed in our third edition on that day, his second appearance, in the debate on the CARDWELL motion, was far more astounding than anything which we have yet heard, even from that Right Honourable Gentleman. Oar readers will learn, by referring to Mr. SMITH'S speech, by comparing it with his former statement, to what a painful course of dishonesty and equivocation the Right Honourable Gentle man has been committed by an inordinate appetite for place. As to the points on which Mr. SMITH'S second statement is utterly at variance with the first, we shall not, at present, attempt any discussion. We shall await with patience the fifth version of this strange story, which will probably differ from its predecessors as much as they do from each other. Mr. SMITH'S remarks were received with deri sive cheers, which indicated the conviction of the House that he and Lord PALMERSTON have been guilty of a base intrigue to keep Lord ELLEN BO ROUGH in ignorance of the real position of our Indian empire. Lord DERBY'S remarks upon this subject were admirable, and no one who heard them can avoid suspecting that this is not the only one of Lord CANNING'S letters which the ex-Ministers have shamefully suppressed. THE GREA.T DEBATE . 71,- The debate on the spoliation of Oude COM menced in both houses la,t night. Mr. Cardwell's speech was pompous, feeble, and full of cant. The Right Hon. Gentleman, who, it is known, will have a high place in the Palmerstonian Cabinet should the Cambridge-House intrigue succeed, insulted the understanding of the House by de claring that he moved his resolution in " the performance of a painful duty !" The Hou se testified its incredulity of this self-sacrifice by loud cries of " Oh," which were renewed and sustained when the Right Honourable Gentleman abandoned the defence of the Proclamation. In the House of Lords, the Evangelical Intriguer, although he spoke with fluency, was disingenuous in argument and verbose in style. He declared himself to be " not as other men arc," but far removed beyond the influence of factious motives. This ridiculous piece of deoeit would not go down at all, it being generally known that the object of the motion was to restore Lord PALMERSTON to office, who is SHAFTESBURY'S father-in-law. Lord DERBY disposed of the Noble Earl's claims to superior integrity in his most felicitous strain. Lord ELLENBOROUGIe s speech deserves to be studied, for it was statesmanlike in conception, n fien t and lofty in spirit. The d by - e greatin su e e x ce p e r s e o ssn t io the , night was achieved the Solicitor - General, whose maste ie rly speech will do much to influence public opinion. It pro duced a great effect in the House and the hon ourable gentleman when he sat down, was cheered to the echo, for several minutes. W e give a full report of this speech and recommend it to the attention of our readers. The Duke of Beaufort came to town last evening. His grace gives a full-dress banquet to-morrow, in cele bration of the Queen's birthday. THE ALHAMBRA PALACE.--Ticr Majesty, the Prince Consort, with the members of the Royal Family and suite, honoured Ms. E. T. S nith's Alhambra Palace in Leicester-square with a visit last evening, to HO the celebrated American stud now pelf .:raring there. The buildir.g was decorat _d and clo,.ed to the general public. T' e royal visitors were received by Messrs. Bowe aed Cushing, and on leaving expressed the gr: tiacation with which they had witnessed the performances. We hear, with much regret, Viet although Mr. Gye has by great exertion been enabled to perform hi., pro mise to the public, that the Royal Italian Opera should d n a g o a t r b y eim o b I m e to be completed so as to be opened this evening, be is so o ke be th p i mach prostrated by the labour he has undergone that he r s e t ri x en p t ia o n n at t i i o re n, oc b e e a c s a i u o g n e . t l h t e will by way of testifying their sense of the skill and energy displayed in the construction of such a edificean energy so short a time, might call for M r. witbu Gye to receive their colgratulations, and his ab,euwill ce now be attributed to the proper cause.—Timos. LATEST NEWS. INDIA AND CHINA. By the arrival of the Calcutta mail we have received our private correspondence and files of papers from Calcutta to the 10th of April, and from Hong Kong to the 29th of March. The following is the letter of our Calcutta correspondent : "CALCUTTA, APRIL 10. "It seems clear that we have a hot weather campaign upon our hands. The sepoys, some 3,000 expected, have escaped, and are swarming into Rohilcund and the provinces east of Benares. Bareilly overflows with them and with the armed ruffians who, beaten everywhere, still congregate wherever there is a chance of plunder or of anarchy. Bahadoor Khan is rapidly building up a regular administration, collecting revenue, founding families, striking coin in his own name. All the discontented seek his protection, and leader after leader, the Nana being the first, submit to a man risen from the ranks. He has, I am told, a strong body of cavalry, in which he reposes great con fidence, some 25,000 Sepoys, and an armed rabble which may be estimated at any number you please to fix. A week of victory would bring it up to a hundred thousand, and a day's reverse reduce it to a few desperate fanatics. There is a strong desire in some quarters not to attack him till the cold weather. Our troops, it is argued, will melt away ; we are too few to invest the province, and the Sepoys, the nucleus of the rebellion, will again escape, as they did from Delhi and Lucknow. It would be better to wait for reinforcements and pour down in oold weather in irresistible strength. On the other hand, it is said the existence of one province in rebellion keeps the remainder in excitement, encour ages the disaffected, fosters plotting, and prevents the re-establishment of order, now as necessary for the people as for us. To remain inactive during the hot weather is, moreover, peculiarly dangerous. The natives usually select the hot weather for activeope rations because they know it paralyses the Europeans , . They did so in the last great war in the Punjab. They did so last year, and there are apprehensions, vague, but not groundless, that they may do so this. These reasons, I am informed, have prevailed, and the hot-weather cam paign is to be commenced at once. The Commander in- Chief has evidently distributed his army with this view. Eight thousand men-6,500 of them Europeans—re main in Lucknow under Sir H. Grant. Goruckpore, Cawnpore, Benares, Allahabad, and Dinapore have been weakly garrisoned, and the ren a'niog 8 000 Europeans and 2,500 natives proceed to the North- West—that is, to Rohilcund. The head-quarters are transferred to Cawnpore, and Sir Colin Campbell is expected to command the great attack in person. His plans, however, have been somewhat dis arranged by an unfortunate incident. "Colonel Milman, with 350 of her Majesty's 37th, 200 Madras Infantry, and 400 Madras Cavalry, was or dered from Allahabad to reinforce Azimghur. He diverged towards the Oude frontier, as I previously in formed you, to attack Atrowba, and encounter Koer Singh, who, with 800 followers, 1,200 of them sepoys, was rushing from Oude homewards to Behar. Col. Mil man, full, I presume, of European ideas, thought it im possible to resist such a force, abandoned his camp, made a forced march of 40 miles and flung himself into Azimghur. Keel . Singh, delighted, followed at speed; and Colonel Milman, deceived, some say, by r e port s as to the fidelity of his Madras cavalry, instead of defending the city, abandoned it, and retired into a little mud fort on the opposite side of the plain. Koer Singh followed and besieged him. The garrison had no supplies, and a sortie was suggested by the younger officers. It was made and mismanaged, and the garrison found themselves back in the fort with 9 zimghur lost, Captain Bedford and 11 Europeans killed, and enemy all round. The Govornor-General immediately ordered General Franks, with some 300 Europeans collected at Benares, to raise the siege. This might have been done, but the Commander-in- Chief, unaware of this plan, telegraphed an order pro. hibitieg all offensive operations, and ordering the gar rison to await the arrival of a column from Out/ e. Accordingly, General Franks proceeded on his way to England—he is very ill—lnd Sir E. Lugard, with a column of 4,000 men, has left Lucknow. The march will occupy 14 days, and the enemy, driven out of Azirughur, must of necessity retreat to the south eaet, A portion of the column will therefore, it is said, oroceed rapidly to Benares, advancing, if necessary, to Petra. There are no troops available to protect Behar for we cannot leave Calcutta without a regiment, the recruits, 1,000 of whom have just arrived per Jason, are not yet fit for service, and the only other regiment, the 19th, is engaged watching the disarmed regiments at Bsrrackpore. I doubt if Koer Singh, once beaten, can keep his men together, but the affair is considered serious, and Behar, with its opine' factories, is left very much exposed. Panics have, of course, st r tad tf rau k ,h the sta tions of the province, but Sir E. Lugard is an excellent officer, and the danger cannot be Img protracted. It places our true difficulty, however, in a strong light. These districts must be garrisoned after they are won, and we have not the force to do the work. There are upwards of 40 of them, exclusive of Bengal Proper, all in more or less danger, and varying in six, from districts as large as Scotland to districts as small as Suffolk. Each requires for the present one wing of an European regiment. Where are they to come from ? Certainly not from the force now in the country, for Sir Colin Campbell, after garrisoning only a few stations, cannot collect more than 8,000 Europeans for the attack on fto'ailcund. 'We need more men if the war is to be brought to an early termination. It was want of men which frustrated the operations before Lucknow—so frustrated them, that officers of experience hold our posi tion actually worse than before we entered Oude. This i I no doubt, an unjust view, dictated in pert by the dislike a section of the army feel Sir Cohn Campbell. It is, however, I fear thus far correct, that we have to defeat an enemy as strong as before, and scattered over a very much wider surface. " f must mention that the escape of the sepoys has for the time impaired the confidence of the army in Sir Cohn Campbell. The soldiers cannot, or will not, see that, had the aepoys been surrounded and they had fought with the desperation they showed in the de taehed houses by the river bank, we should have suf fered a loss which would have left the Sikhs and Ghoorkas masters of the situation. The Commander in-Chief had that c,:r.tingency to think of as well as mere victory l "Jung Bahadoor proceeds with his army to Fyz tbad, a stronghold almost as great as Lucknow, and held by some 30,000 men. It is watched rather than menaced by Colonel Rowcrof, with Captain Sotheby's Naval Brigade and some 900 Ghoorkas. Jung is at Allahabad on a visit to the Gov e r n or-G en e ra l, - and is said to be anxious to avoid a hot weather cimpaign. His mountaineers suffer nearly as much as we do, and he and his officers are nervously desirous net to return with greatly . dimi nished numbers. He may be induced to remain, but to attack Fyzabad he will need Europeans. Sir John Lawrence has left Delhi for Lahore, having submitted full proposals to Government for the military and political defence of the territory. Arrange ments for the management of the confiscated estates, Jhujhur, Desiree, and Bahadoorgurh—they are as big as most English counties—have been com p!eted. The prize property has been delivered over, and exceeds tlready 40 lace of inpees (400,0001.) The lliii tary Commission jueges rebels daily by the score, though of course with less of severity, but they have still 1,500 to try, The l‘lahouredans have been ad tnitted into the city, and ord r is gradually restored. "Ia Bengal there is little doing, but the Coles are still restles4, and about tan days ago a great battle was fought between 50 sailors horn Chyebassa on one side, and 4,000 Coles on the other. The Coles were beaten, of course, but they fought angrily and had a few flint muskets. AUSTRALIA.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR DAY - r'''asEVENING, MAY 15, 1858. GOVE.RNMENT O.F. INDI.A. HOUSE OF LORDS, FRIDAY MAY 14. DIVISION. Moved to resolve 1. That it appears from papers laid upon the table of this House that a despatch has been addressed by the Secret Committee of the Court of Directors to the Governor- General of India, disapproving a proclamation which the Governor-General had informed the Court he in tended to issue after the fall of Lucknow. 2. That it is known only from intelligence that has reached this country by correspondence published in newspapers that the intended proclamation has been issued, and with an important modification, no official account of this proceeding having yet been received; that this House is, therefore, still without full information as to the grounds on which Lord Canning has acted, and his answer to the objections made to his intended proclama tion in the despatch of the Secret Committee cannot be received for several weeks. 3. That under these circumstancesthis House is unable to form a judgment on the proclamation issued by Lord Canning, but thinks it right to express its disapprobation of the premature publication by her Majesty's Ministers of the despatch addressed to the_Governor-General, since this public condemnation of his conduct is calculated to weaken the authority of the Governor-General of India, and to encourage those who are now in arms against this country.—(The Earl of Shaftesbury.) Objected to, and a question stated thereupon ; after long debate, the previous question was moved by the Lord Chancellor, and put, i.e., " Whether the said question shall now be put ' Resolved in the negative.

The Bank of England weekly return of liabilities and assets, made up to the 12th inst., is again of au unfavourable character. The bullion, conse quent upon the late withdrawals, has decreased to the extent of about half a million, while the reserve of notes has been trenched upon to a rather large amount. In the other securities there is a slight decline. In the Government Securities there is a falling off of abut three quarters of a million consequent upon the payment of the Exchequer Bonds lately due. The public deposits show a very important de cline, viz., about one million and three quarters, and the private deposits have increased about three quarters of a million sterling. In the other items of the balance-sheet there is little change of im portance, and they will b 3 seen in the subjoined table.

At present a moderate profit is derivable from the export of gold and shyer coin. Meanwhile the supplies of the precious metals from Australia and elsewhere continue on a fair scale, and will at all events, diminish the withdrawals from the Bank. The overdue vessels from Australia are now arriving, and the Duncan Dunbar may now be added to those reported yesterday. This vessel brings a limited quantity of specie, viz , ,9681., but two or three others are daily expected, which are known to hAve a much larger supply. In the Continental exchanges yesterday there was no material alteration. Silver continues at about previous rates. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were well maintained.. The sales wore estimated at 8,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation and for export-. The Funds aro firm but the transactions are of a very limited description. Of course the nature of the Parliamentary proceedings checks speculation, and the anxiety caused by Mr. Cardwell's motion diverts attention from the returns issued by the Banks of France and England. The former is favourable, and the latter somewhat unsatisfactory. The variation in prices has been very limited. Consuls for transfer have been 971 b and for account 97g The New Three per Cents. are 934 96 ; the Reduced, 95:1 -4 ' • and the New 21 per Cents. 82.

There has been a very limited business transacted this morning in the Railway Share Market and prices still continue heavy. Eastern Counties have declined 1/. ; Great Northern 103. ; and Lancashire and Yorkshire and Midlands ss. Great Western. and Brighton were rather firmer, the former im proved 10a. and the latter 55. In the Foreign lines no business of any importance has been transacted, and quotations are quite nominal. The Colonial undertakings are flat. East Indian have declined 10s. ; Great Indian Peninsular ss. ; and Great Western of Canada, about ss. Mines, Banks, and Miscellaneous Shares have been dealt in to a very limited extent, and prices exhibt little variation from previous quotations.
