r. 44 r`l4l P e ;., ;,- qr) I :177' Last night there was some cavilling at the vote of 170,0001. for harb3urs of refuge. Surely the most stringent economist could not complain (1 such an item. Great Britain depends on her " wooden walls" for security —on her mercantile marine for prosperity ; and it is an imperative duty to do everything we can to reduce the dangers that besot our gallant seamen, and to mitigate their toils within the narrowest limits. We confess that we should have greatly preferred seeing the amount of the vote largely increased. There is a time-honoured apophthegm which de clares that "it is better to pay the butcher than the doctor," and one in a similar spirit, that " prevention is better than cure." Well, it is better to expend the money in works that will give employment to energetic and active men, than to have its value sunk in the devolving ocean, with the addition of the lives of those dear to their families, and deserving of a better fate. Millions would be recklessly sunk in a foreign war, originating in a ridiculous point of etiquette or some absurd piec of punctilio, but that which would be for the general benefit of humanity, at all events of all maritime nations, is cavilled at and objected to. It is not because the national defences may also be strengthened by these havens of safety that they should be condemned. On the contrary, they should be supported for serving a double purpose, being alike useful in peace or in war, aff)rding succour to all in distress, and casting dismay on every opponent. It has long been a reproach to Brit in that she has neglected the con struction of such ports—that her shores have been literally "iron-bound," with some rare exceptions. Tt is time that this anomaly should be corrected, and that at short distances, sufficiently nea r f or vessels in distress, there should be created a " statio bene fidce car inis" t hat would mate rially reduce the cost of assurance, and the hazard of life, to seafaring men. History, it has often been remarked, is but a series of perpetual repetitions. The truth of this is being illustrated at the present moment in many directions. There is the old warlike disturbance revived again at Montenegro—attracting the British Mediterranean Fleet, under Gird LYONS, into the Adriatic, and drawing a Turktsh army once more towards the frontiers of Herzegovina. There was renewed but yesterday further north wards the old quarrel upon the shores of the 13.t1 Lie, between Germany and Denmark—in the matter of the Schleswig-holstein Principalities. There are runtoura again rife to day of G u li s t conspi racies in Spain, of Marianne plots in France, of Carbonari intrigues generally throughout the Neapolitan dominions. Mormonism is again rampant in Utah, and upon the seaboard of th e United States there are flying rumours of fil!.. blustering expeditions. There are intimation, from the Euxine that the Russians are a ga i n building up more strongly than ever their old maritime stronghold of Sebastopol. There are telegrams from Trieste that the war of nearly twenty years ago is to be repeated under the walls of Pekin harbour whatever forces may happen to be concentrated there respectively by the British and the Chinese Governments. In every instance it is the old story over again, with what has bee❑ designated, in utter disgust, most damnable iteration. Diplomacy need pique itself no longer upon its success, when the evil.; patched up for a while break forth thus afresh in every instance after the lapse of an uncertain in terval.

Misrepresentation seems to be the order of the day with the opponents of the Government. We have already witnessed the refutation of Lord SHAFTESBURY'S tardy statement, by the Premier, and last night Lord JOHN RUSSELL was convicted of gross inaccuracy by the Chancellor of the Ex• chequer. The home truthq, the caustic severity of that remarkable oration, had excited the ire of the Palmerstonians, and more especially of the recent :convert. With the reckless temerity for which "the Small Johnny who upset the coach" is notorious, be thought fit to attack the speech of the Right Honourable Gentleman to his constituents, in which he so successfully vindicated the policy and the proceedings of the Government, and so unsparingly exposed the factious character of the motion. Lord JOHNNY winced under the sti g 4 tieu. He fat that the cap fitted him, and with the audacity so clearly explained by SIDNEY SIIITII—the temerity which would induce him "to take the command of the Channel fleet, or perform the most difficult ope- ration in lithotomy,' , at a naomenes notice, he rushed to the onslaught, cc rive/ . inipar congresses dchl//i." He Zslanpteelo.4(li?yuctnite vinced of the grave mistake into which he had fallen—of the terrible "`lough" in which - he was floundering—to him a veritable " Slough of despond." Every successive movement only plunged him self and his coconspirators deeper in the quagmire. The Chancellor of the Excherer eventually extin guished the - petty rushlight which he fondly ima gined would illuminate the House, and sabdued the flickering igniis fatuus by the broad light of truth, and every assertion put forward by the noble lord was clearly and distinctly refuted. He attempted to show that there had been an impu tation on the House of Commons, that there was an implied censure on the majority of that House. So far from that being the case, there was not " a single statement, a single phrase, or a single sen tence, which justified the impression which he wished to convey." So far from it, it was lau datory of that House—of the impartial treatment and generous consideration displayed by indepen dent members for the Government, which had accepted office under such extraordinary difficul ties, in obedience to the will of their SOVE REIGN and an imperative sense of duty, Mr. DISRAELI declared that the Government had " received from the House of Commons, as a body, a generous courtesy," which " had on more than one occasion baffled the unceasing in trigues and the restless machinations, by which, from the first hour of entering office, the Cabinet bad been assailed." So far from its being dero gatory to the popular branch of the Legislature it was altogether laudatory —save as to those who participated in the insidious schemes—the un warrantable machinations so justly and un sparingly denounced. On each of the othor points referred to the Noble Lord was equally infelicitous, and equally inaccurate. He seemed astounded at-the intima tion of the delicate nature of the relations be tween France and England, at the period of - the accession to office of Lord DERBY and his coad jutors. 1161 consulted Lord CLARENDON, who saw nothing of immediate danger. Buf, unfor tunately, Lord CLARENDON does not now possess the confluence of the country. It was his truckling policy, his cringing to despotism, and palpable exhibition of weakness that produced the evil, created the danger. Lord CLARENDON was the worst possible authority on such a subject ! Why was not Lord PALMERSTON consulted? Ile could speak feelingly of the errors of his coad jutor at the Foreign-office, and might have removed the misconceptions of the would-be Pre sident of the Board, at Cannon-row ; or the new Secretary of State for India. But he was avoided, although he might have give❑ better information than the nobleman who occasioned the overthrow of the late Mi nistry. It is unnecessary to refer to inter mediate points. We need not even dwell on the substitution of the word " extermination " for " confiscation," nor need we allude to the "inge nious spirit of perversion, and the dexterous tone of exaggeration, which distinguished the somewhat penurious invective of the Noble Lord." We shall merely speak of his unjustifiable allusion to the alleged threat of dissolution. It was not the Go vernment that ventilated that threat. It was the voice of public opinion out of doors, that pene trated into the Clubs, and was repeated by the consciences of the conspirators. They felt that there.,ought to be a dissolution, in the event of the success of the factious movement. It was not the " wish," but the "fear" that was " father to the thought." And those who writhed with troubled minds strove to cast the responsi bility on the Ministry. Lord JOHN took nothing by his motion. It would be well for himself if he had avoided the dangerous topic, and he might well .

THE SUN, LONDON, SATUR DAY EIVENI NIG, MANY 29, 1858. of the succession of treaties and ruptures, perpetually alternating with each other. The sword has no sooner been beaten into a plough share and the spearhead into a reaping book than the process has to be reversed inconti nently. The gates of the Temple of JANUS are kept continually in vibration. There is not much fear for the world of its armour rusting when hung up at any partial or general epoch of pacification. " And so from hour to hour we ripe and ripe —and so from hour to hour we rot and rot, and thereby hangs a tale." Upon this as upon every other mystery of human ex istence SHAKSPERE has been volubly prophetic. Yet undeniable though the truth is here referred to—it was realty not so very long ago when not a few amongst us were dreaming dreams of soma possible arcadia, of some proximate Millenium. Free Trade, according to some of its more in fatuated votaries, was not simply to dissipate a monstrous system of monopoly, but was even to inaugurate what the Laureate has designated the Parliament of Nations, the Federation of the World. We were to have an end of war. Forty years' European tranquillity had so accustomed us to peace that we were supposed to have, every one of us, forgotten all our old bellicose propensitie , . There was held under a palace of glass a factious gathering of representatives of all the motley race of man from the east and the west, and the north and the south, wearing all the garbs, speaking all the tongues, having all the varied complexions of the great human family. Scarcely was the great assemblage, however, scattered back again to the four quarters when the day-dream was abruptly dissipated. There was a groat war in Europe— armies and fleets were gathered together—thou sands and tons of thousands were destroyed. And when this last great Europea❑ conflict was at length terminated in the fulness of time, the belligerents awoke once more to the repetition, each in turn, of their old dead and gone grievances. England, of these, has certainly had her share— with a vengeance. Conspicuous among her old new evils in this way being, beyond a doubt, two evils that have still to be brought to a satis factory termination—All Indian War and a Chinese War. Happily, neither her military nor her maritime forces have ever been in more perfect readiness for any emergency. Wherefore, with a man like Lord ELGIN at the head of out diplomatic negotiations with China, and with a soldier like Sir Corms . CAMPBELL leading our valiant troops against the rebel soldiers of Hiu , dostan, we are justified iu looking forward hope fully in both directions, with the aid of heaven —remembering that GOD helps those who help themselves. LATEST NEWS. THE OVERLAND MAIL. INDIA. We have received our despatches from India and China by the overland mail, via Marseilles. The Calcutta advices by this arrival come down to the 22d, and those from Madras to the 28th, of April. Our letter by the Bombay mail, published on Thursday week, was dated, as will be remem bered, April 24 ; the presbnt mail, therefore, adds nothing to our news from the disturbed districts. _ _ . The Overland Friend of India has published the text of the proclamation to the people of Oude. The Oude Begum, it is reported, has taken pos session of a strong fort in the immediate neighbour hood of Khyrbad. She has 3,000 adherents and a goodly quantity of treasure. Maun Singh has un dertaken to supply boats for the passage of the Ghoorkas across the Gogra. These allies are at Nawabgung, and have 4,000 men laden with plun der. Koer Singh is said to be very anxious to get back into Behar. Nana Sihib is at Bareilly, and is reported to be out.of health and spirits, in conse quence of the death of two nephews who were killed, it is believed, at Azimghur. Khan Baha door is reported to have died from the effects of opium smoking ; and this province, Bareilly, is in a state of utter disorganisation. Sir J. Lawrence has assumed charge of the Delhi, Hiss ,r and Sirsa districts, and has called upon every community and section of a. community to repay the losses sustained by the Europeans during the re bellion. Tae repayment will be collected either as a fine or by the sale of estates or property. Under this order the Loodeanah Mission has already re ceived twenty-four thousand rupees. The above is all the news relating to the rebellion. Sir James' Outram has taken his seat in the Supreme Council. The Overland Friend states that all recruiting throughout the Punjab has been put a stop to, and that the inhabitants are being " re-disarmed." A letter from Lucknow, dated the 16th, states all to be quiet, and that the shopkeepers were re turning to their avocations in this city. A detach ment had gone out towards Fyzabad to aid the Goorkbas, as they did not like their rear being un protected. The heat in camp was very intense, and numbers of soldiers and officers were in hospital. The Calcutta Englishman dwells very impres sively on the insufficiency of the European military force now in India to restore the tranquillity of the country, and calls for reinforcements from England. Lord Canning has i-sue l a proclamation calling on the commissioners of divisions to bring to the notice of government all natives of the country► who have rendered valuable services during the rebel lion. His lordship declares that he considers it one of his first duties, so, soon as tranquillity is restored, to seek out, acknowledge, and suitably reward meritorious conduct on the part of the natives. In Bengal the magistrates are raising battalions of police, about 150 strong. They aro composed of all castes except Brahmins and Rajpoots. CHINA. The intelligence from China, the latest Hong Kong date being April 13, zelates almost entirely to the movements of the diplomatists. We lear❑ that the Russian envoy, Count Putiatin, arrived at Shanghai in the steamer America, on the 22d of March ; the United States commissioner, Mr. Reed, by the steam-frigate Minnesota, on the 24th ; the Earl of Elgin, in her Majesty's steam-ship Furious, on the 25th ; and the French ambassador, Baron Gros, in his Imperial Majesty's steam frigate Audacense, on the 30th. A casual letter from Shanghai of Apt il 6 informs us that her Majesty's ship Furious, with Lord Elgin and suite, Fury, Pique, and gunboat Slaney, were under orders to proceed northward immedi ately. The steam gun-vessel Cormorant left on the sth, and would receive her orders at Woosung. The Coromandel was to be at the Ruggeds on the 10th, to meet Rear-Admiral Sir M. Seymour in the Calcutta. Two French steamers were anchored outside. At Shanghai Lord Elgin received at the British consulate a body of mercantile men, who presented an address of congratulation, in which they ex pressed their hope that he might be able to suhdue the hostile spirit so long exhibited by the Can tonese, develop the resources of China, and extend the blessings of a higher civilisation. To this ad dress, signed by about forty firms of various nation, his lordship returned the following reply : Gentlemen,—l am very thankful to you for this address of wel . owe. I trust that the kindness which has prompted it will also induce you to fa vour me with the valuable ai t of your experience to enable me to judge correctly of the causes which have contributed to give to Shanghai its eminent position among the ports opened to trade with China. It is satisfactory to me to learn that you approve of what has taken place at Canton, and that I have your good wishes for the future succe , s of my mission. 1 should respond but indifferently t these expressions of regard if I were to refrain from stating to you frankly the principles on which I have hitherto proceeded, and still intend to pro ceed, in the discharge of duties that have r e ference to matt-ra in which you have so deep an interest. In furnishing instructions f my guidance when I was app inted High Comm'ssioner in China, her Majesty's government saw fit to entrust lee with a wAe discretion. Circumstances, however, as you probably know, which were abogether unforseen at the time when those instructions were framed, rendered them in some degree inapplicable, and thus materially enlarged the discretion originally confided to me I found myself accordingly on my arrival in this country compelled to act in a great measure on my own judgment. I accepted this task, as in duty bound, without hesit ttion, but not I hope without a due CCU c of the respunsi,ility attaching to an agent who, in a distant land, ly2- yond the reach of advice, and in circumstances of unusual difficulty, finds himself the guardian of the good name and interests of a great Christian nation. In my communications 'with the func tionaries of the Chinese government I have been guided by two simple rules of action. I have never preferred a demand which I did not believe to be both moderate and just ; and from a demand so preferred I have never receded. These principles dictated the policy which re suited in the capture and occupation of Cantos. The same principles will be followed by me with the same determina tion to their results if it should be necessary to re peat the experiment in the vicinity of the capital of the Emperor of China, It is a matter for ms of the highest gratification to know that in pursuing this policy of combined moderation and firmness I c all count not only on the hearty co -opera' ion and active support of the representative of his Im perial Majesty the Emperor of the French, but also tot the good-will and sympathy of the representa tives of other great and powerful nations inte rested with ourselves in extending the area of Christian civilisation, and multiplying those com mercial ties which are destined to bind the E tat and West together in the bonds of mutual adva,o tage. One word, gentlemen, in Conclusion, :IS to the part which we have respectively to play in this important work, and more especially with reference to the last sentence of your address, in which you express the trust that the result of my exertions may be fully to develop the vast resources of China, and to extend among the people the elevating in fluence of a higher civilisation." The expectations held out to British manufacturers at the close of the last war between Great Britain and China when they were told that a new world was opened to their trade so vast that all the mills iu Lancashire could not make stocking stuff sufficient for one of its provinces, have not been realised, and I am of opinion that when force and diplomacy shall have done all that they can legitimately effict, the work which has to be accompli , -hi d in China will be but at its commencement. When the barriers which prevent free access to the interior of the c eintry shall have been removed, the Christian civilisation of the West will find it,elf face to face, not with barbarism, but with an ancient civilisation in limey respee's effete and imperfect, but in others not without claims to our sympathy and respect. In the rivalry which will then ensue Christian civilisa tion will have to win its way among a sceptical and ingenious people, by making it manifest that a faith which reaches to heaven furnishes better guarantees for public and private morality than one which does not rise :above the earth. At the same time the machine-facturing West will be in presence of a population the most universally and laboriously manufacturing of any on the earth. It can achieve victories in the contest in which it will have to engage only by proving that physical knowledge arid mechanical skill applied to the arts of produc tion are more than a match for the most persever ing efforts of unscientific industry. This is the task which - is ly.fore you, and towards the accom plishment of which, within the sphere of my duty, I shall rejoice to co-operate. From Canton we hear little of importance. Bis Excellency Peh-qui, the nominal governor of the city, between the exigency of the allies, his maste rs, and the obstinacy of his own countrymen, had been almost harassed to death. His troubles hA brought on a paralytic fit. During the abeyance of his vigilance a number of coolies attached to the t sin were kidnapped. When subsequently recovered these men were so maimed that they could not walk. Peh-qui says, however, that the men deserved all they got, for when captured they were in the act cf plundering or committing out rages under the fancied protection of_ their cloth. The public ripinion of Canton is finding express siou in letters posted at the gates and . other publi c places. One of these documents is entitled, "A Public Lament," and is remarkable for an especial degree of that excessive pathos which characterises alike the emanations of the official and popular mind in China. It purports to be is_ued by the people inhabiting the streets within the eastern and northern gates, and commences thus : "In the midst of our difficulties our sorrows are increased ; in the midst of death we beg for life, and pray for assistance to keep us from the way of destruction." The rest of the address is in the same key, and when carefully examined amounl s to a complaint that, owinc , to the inadequacy of the police, rob beries are frequent. In order to restrain the old passions of the Can tonese, the authorities had published a proclama tion enjoining politeness to forei g ners. This curious address, grounded on reasons to which the Chinese have not been accustomed to defer, com mences as follows : The Kwang-chow-foo, together with the chief magistrates at Nam-hoy and Pun-yue distric's, hereby make known their commands. Having consulted with the high officers of the two great countries of England and France, we have already united in putting out a proclamation, inviting all who have houses or shops within or without Canton to return and follow their usual occupations, and to trade as formerly. Now, ye people, you ought quietly to follow your duties in making a livelihooi, and at the proper time a nev, r ending reconcilia'ion will be effected (with the foreigners.) Only consider—that Canton people are perpetually calling foreigners "fan qui"—foreign devils, when they see them coming from every foreign country. This is certainly in opposition to politeness, and gives offence. Truly it is want ing in that courtesy which has been handed down to tis as a oustom ; and is not by any means that deportment which should be ob,ervel between the host and his guest. You do not seem to think that the people of the middle country and those from without in the origin appertained to one body (Adam.) Outside people are like the men of oar provinces. Those and these should equally exercise a pleasing countenance and yielding manner ; and not continue t 3 insult and lo)k down °nether men as the vulgar custom is. If men generally will observe politeness, then the men of foreign countries will also generally act well, and there will be no dis turbance. Have you not heard that at the open ing of a crevice or outlet it is important at once to stop it ? Now in every street of the ancient capi tal of Kwangtung, why should the people without a cause delight in putting up long red placards in which the language is disrespectful ? In the first one or two, perhaps, some good affair, under the name of consultation, is spoken of, yet the ten dency is to originate angry strife a n d and if persisted in will involve the whole Ki-fong or vicinity. All below heaven should know that when men treat others courteously, there are none who do not return the compliment. And in like manner, if you treat them with the countenances of proud men, others will with pride retaliate— never was it othefwise. On account of this it is proper thus to proclaim our commands, that they may be more fully understood. Ye men of a hun dred surnames, whenever you meet with men of the great ocean, from whatever country, in the street, walking or running, byall means treatthem politely, and do not call men from foreign coun tries "fan qui"—for devils is a nickname, be littling and brow-beating.

A meeting of gentlemen interested in the European an i American Submarine Telegraph Company was held yesterday afternoon—Mr. James Wy'd,.M.P., presiding, when a favourable opinion aas expressed on the practi cability and the advantage of the route. The impertance of the link in the system between this country, Gibral tar, Malta, and India, and the advantages likely to ac crue from the connection opened with America, France, Portugal, and Spain, were the points severally advo cated, and resolutions requesting the support and assist ance of the various governments interested, received approval.

PANCRAS —An extraordinary contest, under the Metropolis Local Management Act, took place on Thursday, in the parish of St. Pancras, in which seven out of the eight wards into which the parish is divided were contented. The contending parties were the Liberal and economical party in local management, known as the Ratepayers' Association, and the party who have had the majority in the vestry Pince the passing of the Local Management Act, and who are known as the " Camden Hall," or clerical and extravagant party. The result of the polls, which was not known until near midnight on Thursday, has been to secure seven out of the eight wards for the Liberal wed ee inotnical patty, mei to give them ; ii.stead of being longer in a minority, a clear msj uity of ah..nt 30_ in the St. Pancras local parliament. Now that political matters wear a more sAtled aspect, and the fears of a dissi lotion of Parliament are at an end for a time, the abundance of money in the market is beginning t,) have its effect, and ounierous in • quiries are made for mining securities ; so that, notwith standing the %Yhiti-un holidays, the Share Market has assumed a more active and buoyant appearance ; and the demand for shares, if it continues, is likely to have its effect on prices generally.

PARIS, FRIDAY. Official despatches have been received from St. Petersburg announcing that the Duke de Monte bello had been most graciously received by the Em peror Alexander. The French Foreign-office seems to set much importance Oh the presence of the new ambassador at St. Petersburg. M. Haussmann, lately appointed French Consul at the Cape of Good' Elope, has left Paris for Southampton to embark for his pose. The Pays says that the announcement in several foreign journals that the French Government is at present fitting out a fleet at Toulon to make a demonstration on the coast of Morocco is not true. The screw ship of the line Austerlitz sailed from Brest on Tuesday last for Toulon to reinforce the Mediterranean fleet. A letter from Marseilles, dated yesterday, states that a hurricane from the west, which continued to blow on Tuesday and Wednesday last with in tense fury, caused great anxiety for the ships i❑ the offing. The French steamer, with the mails from Alexandria of the 18th inst., had not been able to reach Marseilles. She took refuge in the roads of Toulon. Letters from Rome announce that, owing to the intervention of the Pope, Dom Miguel accepts the lolsis of the propositions made to him by his nephew, the Kng of Portugal, and that a recon ciliation is about to take place between the two chiefs of the House of Braganza. Official despatches, which have reached Paris from China, lead to the conclusion that the envoys of England and France scarcely hope to accomplish their views without further hostilities. An ordinary despatch says :—Advices from China to the 12th of April state that in reply to an address from the Bri tish merchants at Canon, Lord Elgin assured them that the demands of the Allies were moderate, but that they would insist on their being complied with. They are prepared to resort if necessary to force, and they will not shill*, should it be found requisite, from carrying hostilities to the very walls of Pekin. The Hong Kong papers state that Teent-Sin, a small harbour about 50 miles from Pekin, will easily fall into the hands of the Allies, and they urge that gunboats should be sent up to the capital. At Can ton the native authorities secretly persecute and torture all who are suspected of favouring the allies. Great atrocities have been discovered. In the in land provinces anarchy is said to be on the in crease.' Additional resignations have been received from the directors of the charitable endowmentsi n the principal towns in France, in consequence of M. Espinasse's unlucky "ordre du jour," by cmr te,y called circular, for the sale of the property, and that the Prefects have been orde ed not to accept the resignations. How the directors can be compelled to exercise these functions, gratuitous as they are, against their will, it is difficult to imagine. So strong is the feeling on this subject that it is found necessary to administer an antidote to the "Circular." The Moniteur will probably contain in a day or two something meant to be c mediatory. The plan for the new organization of Algeria, with Prince Napoleon as Pro-consul or Imperial Lieutenant, has been submitted to the Councl of State. The Council has called for documents from the War-office. M. de Pene, the victim of the duel with Sub- Lieutenant Hyenne, is to-day reported better, but no well-founded hope is felt of his ultimate recovery. Hyenne and Courtiel (the latter a near relative of the Mmister of the Interior, and whose conduct in the first duel was admitted to be honourable), were summoned to Versailles. The officers of the garri son gave them an entertainment, and it is said that a toast was drunk to the defenders of the army, with some smart remarks about journalism and journalists. The animosity between the mili tary and the opposite element, the civil, grows stronger and stronger, and envenoms the existing discontent. Among the men of sense and honour in the army who have disapproved in very decided terms the second duel, is General Macmahon. The law officers are determined to follow up the affair vigorously. The following telegraphic despatches have been received her. : " BERLIN, May 28.—Accounts from Constantinople, of the 22d, state that the Council of Ministers had as sembled on the previous day, and came to a decision wi h regard to Montenegro. A fresh circular from the Porte was expected on the eve of the f , to a the Ramazan. An engagem , -nt has taken place between the Circassians and the Russian garrison of Jekaterinodar, in which the latter lost 300 men." " BERNE, May 28.—The French vice-consul has been received at Cheux-de-FondP. At the reception dinner he declared his hope thtt the institution of a vice-consu late would be useful to the commercial relations of the two countries. A god impression has been everywhere produced in favour of th 3 new functionary." • BOURSE, May 23.—The Mowing wen) the list quotatious per Cents 93 40 Do. end month._ Credit Foncier Belgian , 4 Piedtnontese (5) Roman 9l Austrian Spanish Threes Home Debt -- -Fox CASH. 3 per Cent. ... 69 60 Do. end mouth 69 69 Bank Shares 3060 Credit Mobilier 635 Do.

TJ T 11,7 EDITO;:, Q^ Ti s ~ ~r. SIR,—As an old politician, or careful observer of passing events, and a conscientious seeker after the truth, whether involve.d. in Ethics or Politics, I cannot ref' ain from offering my meed of thanks to Mr. Disraeli for his 'easterly denunciation, at Slough, of the contemptible cabal which, by such unworthy: means, and with such unscrupulous tools, sought the overthrow of the Government —a GJ vernment which, I am convinced, will bear com parison with any that has preceded it, whether viewed in reference to the talent of its members, the soundness of their views, or the patriotism of their motives. As might natural ybe expected, the Times of this morning devotes its first leader to an attempt to lessen the influence which the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speech must perforce have upon the public mind, awl, as usual, has recourse to the unworthy means of imputing falsehood to a st at ement of fact., which, to all not wilfully blinded by partizanship, must be patent as the sun at noonday. I will pass over those salient points, which every news paper reader can form his own opinion upon, in volved in the contrast between the present state of our external and internal relations, as compared with that existing on the advent of Lord Derby to poser, and merely Fugg ,, st the insincerity of the Times, iu calling for proof of that which is known to every educated man who mixes in good London scciety, that is, the connection between members of the late Government with that journal, and the constant visits of its responsible editor to Cambridge House. I have, myself; seen the name of the latter gentleman, more than once, figuring in that piece of vanity—the list of guests—and can any man of common se:sse doubt the motive, if, indeed, he can doubt the effect of the invitation to appear there. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, London, May 28, 1858. J. L. 11. THE OATHS BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As the sth clause in this bill, regarding the Jews, will shortly unlergo another debate in the House of Lords, permit me to say a few wor ds as to the supposed " facts" stated by the Lord Chan cellor during the debate in April last. Ist. His lordship says—" The Jew, if ho bo sin core—if he be what has always been repres ented to us—if we are to take the Jewish people in general, and not to take a few selected specitnens—must have the most inveterate hostility to the Christian religion." Now, I can plainly prove to his lordship, from the highest Jewish authority, after Mosesthe legis lator—Maimonides, on whose work, " Yad Hacha zaka," the present Jewish code of lavv is founded— that a Jew, so far from having the most inveterate hostility to the Christian religion," is enjoined to esteem and revere it. Maimonides says in that work, " Let us award our gratitude to Jesus of Nazareth, who cam's to pave the way for Messiah the King." 2d. His lordship stated, "It is a curious his torical fact that iu 1663 there were no more than twelve Jews in England." Now, it is evident from a letter printed by the late Sir Henry Ellis, of the British Museum (Royal Letters, &e., 2al series, vol. 4, page 3), " that in 1662 the Jcws were exist ing in London, with a synagogue built after the fashion of their own worship ; that the congrega tion, which the writer saw assembled, consisted of a hundred Jews, besides women ; that they were not yeople who appeared as straggling sojourners, but gentlemen and 'merchants, rich in .apparel, even to the wearing of jewels." I therefore submit that the Lord Chancellor has in bo . li statemen.s relied upon misrepresentations for his authority, which he will be glad to see corrected. am, yours, ke. M. H. BRESSLALT. 18, Mansell-street, May 27. CALCUTTA MARKETS. CALCUTTA, APRIL 22. The following simmary of the markets is taken from the Englishman : On the 2 th instant we received our letters from London of March 17. We have again to offer an unfavourable report of our produce market; all ai tides, with one or two exceptions, having continued in neglect, and small supplies, with zorn paratively high prices still asked by holders, lead us to ex pect that the present unsatisfactory state of affairs is to last for some time. In indigo we have had little doing, the greater portion of the last season's produce having been shipped off. Sugar has not been in such good demand as before. Saltpetre was inquired for for a couple of days, but we have no buyers now. Jute continues neglected. Lin seed in batter inquiry, and in vane a shade higher. Very little dove in raw silk. Silk piece goods in moderate re quest. No sales of Safflower. The occurrence of native holidays and the native new year have in some measure interfered with the transaction of business in our import market; but we have had a steady demand for grey goods, such as shirtings, jaconets, and Madapollams, of which considerable purchases have been made by the dealers. Stocks have much reduced, and in many instances holders have succeeded in obtaining higher prices. Mule twist has continued in favour at ad vancing rates. Very little doing in the metil market. We have not the slightest change to notice in the money market. The share market is most buoyant; there are buyers, but very few sellers of favourite stock. Government securities have ruled very steadily through out the fortnight, our quotations remaining unaltered. Exchange on China—The market opened at 2s. lid. for six nu nths' sight credits, but the last few days the rates have declined a little, and we now quote the same paper at 2s' 10. to 2s. 14 1., and documents at 2s. lad. to 2s. I, l t d. per rupee. FREIGHTS.—II tiring thepast fortnight a considerable addi tion has been made to tonnage in our harbour, mad as the advices from home are not of a nature to lea I to an im provement in the demand for tonnage, our market has been further depressed. The unfavourable accounts of rice re ceived from China have, moreover, induced shippers to with !raw for a time, nor has there been any active demand for any other part of the world. Oar rates sines our last have given way— for London 2/. 10s., and for Liverpool 2/. 55., being nominally the quotations at present ; for China, rice was last engaged at 600. a bag, and for Maud.- tins at 1 rupee a bag.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) IN RE THE LONDON AND EASTERN BANNING COMPANY. This case came again before the Lord Chancellor to be spoken to upon the minutes. The parties were not agreed upon the terms of his lordship's order. Mr. R3lt, Q.C., said that it was not intended by big lordship's order to restrain the whole proceedings that were necessary to be taken in the Bankruptcy Court for . the winding up of the business of this bank,—the proof . of debts, affidavits, and other evidence required to be taken in the Bankruptcy Court. The order was only to restrain the assignee, from interfering with the proper business of the official manager in winding up the busi ness of the company. The Lord-Chancellor said that he only intended to carry out the intentions of the Legislature, in the act of Parliament, to prevent the assignee from interfering ; with the proper business of the official manager, and to prevent a double expense from being incurred against the estate. The creditors were represented by the' creditors' representative. Mr. Rolt—But it is necessary to go into the Conrt of Bankruptcy for a proof of debts, as the official manager will not give up, .nor give access to, the books of the bank. Mr. Amphlet, Q.C.— It is the bona fide intention of the official manager to render every possible assistance to the assignee. The Lord Chancellor—l did not restrain the assignee from assisting the official manager, nor vice versa. Mr. Rolt—Then the costs of carrying out the order should be costs in the suit. There are many collateral points upon which costs might be given, but it would. double coats. ' The Lord Chancellor—l would be sorry to increase the expense in that way. Mr. Daniel, Q.C. —Your lordship will give the costs up to the date of your lordship's order, and you wilt also give the creditors' representatives' costs, and the costs of the choice and appointment of an assignee. The Lord Chancellor—Yes, with liberty to apply. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole ridge, Erle, and Crompton.) THE QUEEN V. THE TIVERTON BURIAL BOARD. This case came before the Court as a demurrer to a special verdict, relative to the Bishop of Exeter's refusal to consecrate the Tiverton Burial Ground. The real question is whether a 12 inch wall, built by the board as a line of demarcation between the Dissen ttrs and Churchmen's burial grounds, was sufficient or , not. The arguments of the learned counsel are expected to occupy the whole of the day. COURT OF COMMON PLEB. (Sittings at Nisi PriuP, at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Byles and a Common Jury.) MACKAY AND ANOTHER V. 'TIMKEN& This was an action to recover 321. 103. 6(1. on n bill of exchange. The bill became due on the 21st March, which wag a Sunday. It was presented on the Saturday, a nd die• honoured. A notice to that effect wag posted to the defendant, informing him of the fact, but he denied having received it, and pleaded that he had not had notice of the dishonour. The Learned Judge said the miscarriage of a notice through the post was no plea of want of notice. After hearing the evidence, The jury, without allowing the learned Judge to sum up, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages , 321. 10. , . 6J. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) BOW-STREET. FURIOUS DRIVING.—A young man named Tinges', in , the employ of the London Parcel Delivery Company' attended in answer to a summons, charging him wi th furiously driving a cart, whereby anoth er servan t o f toe company narrowly escaped death, and a horse valued , at 251. was killed on the spot. George Rope, a driver in the service of the London ' Parcel Delivery Company, said—On the 21st instant, was driving one of the carts up Holborn, on my way t ° Hammersmith. The defendant was driving anothe! of the company's carts up Oxford-street. Whil e I was going up Holborn the defendant came on the off side, and for some di-tanee he kept driving before We; I drove down Great Queen street to avoid him, no," having got as far as Bow•street, I heard a horse gm' loping, and in an instant afterwards the wheel of the cart I was driving was taken off by the defendant, and the horse was killed on the spot. He had no right to follow me. He drove at about seven miles an hour. After a number of witnesses had been examined, Mr. Henry said he heard that an independent witne 4 e woull be in attendance on Wednesday next, and the further hearing of the summons was adjourned till thet day. STEALING MEAT.—A respectably dressed man named Springthorpe, and a butcher's servant named Wadleir were placed at the bar, the former charged with recal l ' ing a large quantity of beef and mutton, the propertf of Mr. G. Kent, butcher, of Upper King-street, JP born, and the latter with stealing the same. , From the evidence of the police it appeared that '" consequence of certain circumstances, Mr. Kent, t b . prosecutor, entertained suspicions that he wa s ben* robbed, and accordingly a watch was kept upon t bt ; tnovemonts of the persons in his empl o y. O n severa l occasions afterwards the prisoner Wadley was seen i ° take a large quantity of meat from Mr. Kent's to leafe it at a cook-shop kept by Springthorpe, in Museum' street. This morning Wadley left Mr. Kent's shop Id% a tray full of meat, and having entered Springthorp n o house, the police followed and took both prisoners lo t cu aody. Springthorpe denied he was in tin habit of receiving large quantities of meat from Wadley. Ho could brill witnesses to speak to his having purchased his mee t , e them. The meat, left by Wadley was not intended t him (Springthorpe), and Wadley knew it if he chose to say so. Wadley said ho was not to blame. He believed the meat was not intended for Springthorp. The Magistrate said in order that We whole traltiel td. tion might be enquired into he should remand the op" _ , till Wednesday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
