A large pteor lion of thearpops, including all the Artil)cry, are Dutch proper, and the .National Guard Li :.early 1,000 strong. A very strong lone also is to be found in the Roads, where there arc some 2,000 or 3,000 sailors, who could be brought on shore and armed on any emergency. The mutineers probably expected. the natives to revolt along with them ; but in this hope they have been disappointed, and there seams at present to be no cause for anxiety or uneasiness in that 'quarter. Not that the supremacy of the Dutch is at all• po pular with the people-of Java ; quite the reverse ; hitt their present rulers trove adopted two very ef .feetual measures for keeping them in order. They have taken the native chiefs into their pay, and they have made it illegal for any nativelo possess firearms. During the mutiny in British India the utmost efforts were Made by the Mahomede.n prieSt linokle ii;ise a rebellion ,piroughout aba,.butT they could not succeed. The disaffected among the natives at large had not the means to create a re volt, and the native army was not, like that of Ben gal, organisedinto, entire native regiments, but was so mixed up 'with the European as to be completely overawed 14 the latter.' The consequences would doubtless have been far More seriOus . if those efforts • to create a revolt among the natives had occurred simultaneously with the present mutiny. , • The question has often been asked, ‘.‘ Why were not the foreign troops which our country enlisted during the Crimean, war ,sent out to India ? To this inquiry the present mutiny in the notch East Indian army affOrds a very significant ansvter. Not a few of the present Mutineers belonged to oar Ger-, , . man Legion. Holland will now have to work.out on a smaller scalelhat Indian-army problem which has caused so much anxiety to our own statesmen. She . will find,it necessary to spend a littlemore of the . reve nue she draws from her fine Indian dependencies in their defence; She will find that good-European soldiers cannot he got to live in the tropics for a. penny a-day, and that some provision also must be made for the moral. and intellectual , culture of an army which is to maintain the supremacy of 3,000,000. men over *11,000,900. " The fire was excessiVely severe,but, united to the gal=. lant Befsaglieri, we were enabled not only to resist, but to drive back the enemy within their 'lines with great loss. On the part of the brigade I have to lament two killed and eight wounded, withoufmentioniu,g contusions.

BATAVIA, AUG. 23. European supremacy in the East seems to be un-, dergoing a series of severe trials. The last week has shown that the Government of British India is not the only Power in this part of the world which has leant on a broken reed. That your readers may rightly understand the nature of the mutiny which is causing so much alarm to the European popula tion of this archipelago, I must first say a word with reference to the constitution of the army by which Holland has hitherto retained its suprem act. The Dutch Government does not permit the same freedom of inquiry and criticism as is allowed in British colonies, hence it is not easy to form a cor rect estimate of the military force in these islands. It consists nominallyV about 20,000 men, of whom probably less than one-third are Europeans. It may be doubted whether Europe ever before sent into the East an army so thoroughly demoralis ed. The Dutchmen belonging to these forces are well enough but they do not form more than one•fourth even of the European troops, the remainder being drawn from the dregs of every army in Europe. These mercenaries have frequently shown symptoms of disaffection, which, however, caused no anxiety to Government, as it was evident that no attempt at a mutiny could be successful if unaccompanied by an insurrection on the part of the natives. _ _ As the geography of the Dutch East Indies is not ; very well known to English readers, I may state that the three principal towns in Java are Batavia, Samaraug, and Sourabaya, all lying on the north coast of the island, and strongly garrisoned. The mutiny has hitherto been confined to Samarang and Sourabaya. At the former place it was discovered by a Dutch sergeant, who ascertained on the even ing of the 16th inst. that a simultaneous rising of all the mercenaries was to take place next morning. He communicated the intelligence to his command ing officer, who immediately ordered that the native troops should with all secrecy get under arms. It so happens that these occupy the ground floor of the barracks, the European troops being located above them. The former were posted at the door, and or dered to fire on every European who attempted to come downstairs. The mutineers quickly took the alarm, and as they could not escape by the door com menced firing from the window. As however it was already dark, they fired mostly at random, and their ammunition was soon nearly exhausted. By this time the National Guard had mustered consisting of the whole European population capable of bear ing arms, and the barracks were surrounded. The greater part of the mutineers now cried for quarter, which was granted to them, on condition that not more than three should descend at once, and that each bring with him two muskets. The condition was accepted, and thus, while one-half of the muti neers were safely handed over to the authorities, the other half were left witllout arms. Speedy justice has been executed on the ringleaders, upwards of 30 having been hanged. What Government will do with the rest remains yet to be seen. The most serious danger which has threatened this colony for the last half century has thus far been averted almost without bloodshed, and no small credit is due to the Dutch officers who have brought the affair to so speedy a termination. A singular adventure happened to a gentleman of Samarang, who was riding home from his club on the evening of the outbreak. His horse. started at the firing, and bore him at full gallop along the narrow street which is overlooked by the windows of the barracks. Every musket was levelled at pita], but shut up ,i - n: his cell, deprived of air. One day the physician v i s it s hie a ; the next day the Surgeon ; sometimes neither (*the two,.

Is it possible to imagine a more painful trial? But such is the refinement :of clerical vengeance. 'saving premised . these-necessary explanations, I now pass to special facts • " t Whilst L was an inmate of this den of horrors, a Wife with her little boy, obtained permission to see her husband. It was tin years since the Papal Government had torn her husband' from her embrace ; the boy had never known his father, for .he was born after the arrest. Neither the prayers of the afflicted wife, nor the tears of the: tender child; nor the sebbingS and despair of the imhappy father, ' could indficathe governor to allow them but one.embrace —td let them mingle their tears together. Stith's:l .- a - the consolations which the mercy of the 'Papal Sovereign and of his Ministers grant to a bereaved spouse, to an innocent son; to a despairing : father and husband. Surely such: favours should rather be regarde4 in the light of a new and of a more duel inar4lidorn Ito"'forinent: the spirits of the, viethnWithmolated, and to more cruel hatred.„ It would be impossible to describe the rigours and the tortures, always new and increasing, which have been invented to augment 'the sufferings of the prisoners after the last fatal attempt at flight. The -following faot will show of what the Papal Government. is capabla when it wishes to torture by 'say of precaution. " ' In order to prevent the political prisoners from_helding the slightest conimunication with the miter world, recourse was even had to the vary strange and absurd expedient of forbidding the physician (although an individual com pletely subservient to the Government) from personally visiting the sick in the prison. Ho was to treat them on the report :of a creature who but a short time before had been in the galleys, and was transferred thence to perform the offide of an hospital attendant. This liberated galley slave felt the pulse, made his diagnosis, drew his conclu sions, and the physician meanwhile waited in the room of the governor for the report of the attendant, and, according to the character of that report, prescribed remedies to patients Whoin he had never seen. Representation on re presentation was necessary before the Papal Government could be induced to abandon this singular mode of proceed-' ing; and it was only after some time that the physician obtained permission to approach the bed of his patients; but even then only in the company of the turnkeys, who were placed as spice over his movements, his words, and the 'very* expression of pity which his countenance might betray. Nothing more thoroughly demonstrates the utter barbarity and immorality of the Court of Rome, which is unable to treat its political prisoners with a less degree of inhumanity even wheirthey ere stricken down by sickness, or stretched, on a death-bed. " One of the patients, a certain M—, of Bologna, begged to see the governor, to ireplore in, the name of. his com panions, the permission to have the period for exercise ex tended for half an hour. The, only reply he received was an order from Trastiondo that ho should be put in chains weighing 80 pounds, and thrown into the tower. • The tower, situated in the centre of the citadel, is the most horrible of prisons—damp, isolated, with an opening at the roof, leav ing the prisoner exposed to all the inelemeneyof the weather. It is the worst den in this abode of grief and of despair. Into : this the patient was thrown, weighed down by the terrible burden of his fetters. Be it summer or winter the inmate of the tower has no bed save the bare ground—no covering save his own apparel—no food save bread and water. Many through that punishment alone have been stricken with disease, and if you once lose your health in that dungeon it is your death-warrant. When I left the fort to be conveyed as an exile across the frontier a poor prisoner had just died in consequence of illness caused by the repetition of this punishment, from which more than one prisoner-has died whom the Government perhaps wished to get out of the way. " A certain of Ascoli, on returning from the chapel to his own, cell, happened, when he: reached the court -yard of the fortress, to turn back and salute a con demned prisOner belonging to another section, who was looking' through the 'grating. For that offence the head gaoler, after beating him, had the usual chains put on, and then sent him to the tower. It was in March, on an Easter Sunday. After three days of suffering, he was found stretched out, almost frozen, on the ground. Then he was removed to the hospital, and thanks to a strong constitution, after some time ho recovered. How many most virtuous men have suffered similar torments when they had once become a prey to the vengeance of the priests. " ' Many amongst the political prisoners, in consequence of the treatment they have received, from the moral and physical tortures endured, have become insane. They howl in their prisons; sometimes mingling with the other victims, at other times alone, but without any er ence of treatment. And yet even the least civilised Governments employ special cares and special relief for the insane; but priestly hatred has no bounds ; and collidP follow its victims even beyond the tomb, it wou ld gladlya° so, though at the risk of outraging the Deity himself. " One of those wretched maniacs committed one d ay an insane act.

If the reason ing it good for anythiaigi it is good for a great deaL more than is here assuiteed. We are not concerned to estimate the relative values of arithmetic, geography, orthography, history, mathematics, or other branches of knowledge,' buf it must never be forgotten that these things, whether useful or otherwise, are simply the ingredients of the cora pouyad termed "education," and that they cannot be disparaged without the disparagement of education. itself... If they are good for nothing, education is ,good for nothing, and all our labour in this matter is labour lost. To say that a man has no need of such acquirement is merely to say that he has no need of• being educated, for education mearte teaching people to write, to spell, to understand aka configuration., ages, and to . of the globe and the events of past get an insight, more or less completely, into put in so those very branches of knowledge now ludicrous a. light.

We have been ,a2l under the impression that in educating the youth. of the country—that is to say, in teaching lads geography, arithmetic, and the like--we were ren dering them better qualified for the general duties' of citizens, and fitter candidates for their respective callings . , that of the Civil Service included. If, however,education produces no such resultst and the best educated man is no better than another, we should like to hear what the results are which are expected to repay us for our sacrifices and trouble. As regards this question, the Civil Service of the State differs in no respect from any of the ordinary occupatiens of life. It is perfectly true, no doubt, that a collector or supervisor may livo out all his days in office, and never once be called upon to make a direct application of his geographical or historical knowledge; but the remark will apply vrith ore eisely 'the same force to a tailor, a grocer,..-sh_on maker, a lawyer, a -physician, or indeed. anybody", except an Author or a schoolmaster. The latudies• so ridiculed 11.1 the argument we are considering are precisely of the same use to a civil servant of the State as to a man engaged in any ordinary pursuit- If they artairrelevoat in one case, they are irrele vant in the other ; taut is to say, they are irrelevant altogether and we may at once conclude t hat edu cation, which is composed of these things just as the alphabet is composed of letters, may be given up for good and all as a pure delusion and folly. The veryietree contrasts which are drawn between duties and qualifications in the case of Post-office derive may be drawn, with equal smartness in all cases where. competitive examinations are employed. Even in the Woolwielaand Sandhurst .examinations —the most special of alle-ethere are hundreds of questions which might be shown to be utterly un connected with any probable duty of military life. If we are wrong in the matter of the Civil service, woare wrong everywhere, and,. instead of subsi dising educational establishments from the funds; of the State, and pushing the work of public instruc tion by all possible means, we ought to decide ett once that no one should be taught or expected tea know anything beyond the actual sphere of his im mediate and daily calling. This would tend won-. derfully to simplify a great national problem, but we doubt if the theory is likely to find genera acceptance. The truth is, that in this system of coniPeti t t's v e e examinations we are but acting in accore =poised the principles of education and duty 0. in modern times.

CASRTA., :OCT. 22. DeCidedly the denouement of• the third phase of. the stiuggle for Italian independence is at hand, and before,.perhaps, you get this letter it vrlll be completed. Yesterday, the first . day of the ple biscite, a despatch came from Cialdini, dated Istx•- nia.in ivhieh !c announces that he had gained a victory over the Neapolitans before Isernimo The despatch is very laconic.. It - ninfely - says : " The' enemy has been defeated by me before loit of 800 prisoners; 50 offors, among thetri (ion: scotti, several cannon and colours. Every.moment peasants armed by the Reaction are brought in .who have committed horrors: 1 haye them shot." testql42Y !another equally successful .engage ment, , took place near Venafro, and . this morning King Victor Emmanuel has made his entry into Isernia. These events took place sooner than was; ei peCted. But evidently the Piedmontise were anxious to come UP, and have made foree,d- marches frOm Popoli and Sulmona._ According to the ac count of people come from Campobasso this morn fight before Isernia lasted three hours,. and would have had even more complete results; hed not tke exhaustion' by marching of the trooPS prevented Cialdini• from- following up his sucteSs. Of the second encounter we know not. , the exadt spot wiftre it took plane, but according to all pro bability it must have been on the banks of the Vol turno, w4Aqh has to be croSsea' on the road fro Isernia to Vena fro. V7r;afro once pated, Cialdini is in the rear of all the lines of communication between Gaeta and Capua. He may . either film to the right towards San Germanci;Antl'iiiass the ''Garigliano by Ponte corvo (a. I; artlof the. Papal territory), or else coma down in one march of 20 miles on Calvi, which is the centre of all lines of communication on the western part of the Apennines,and just on the northern out -,1 skirts of the plain of the Volturno. lie will pro bably choose this latter road, which will bring him nearer to the forces south of the Volturno, but which ever 'he chooses be will.protably have to meet once more the Neapolitan army, unless these. latter resolve to' withdraw at once to their second line Of defence, the Garigliano, leaving a small garrison to hold out at Capua. From what we hear we ought to Conclude that they will attempt some resistance' before they withdraw, for there are still from 3,000 to 4,000 men in Cajazzo f who would be cut off were the army already withdrawn behind the Garigliano. Capua itself. has been alniost denuded of troops ; so has, with the exception of Cajazzo, the rest of the line of the Upper Volturno. In consequence of all this, proceedings at 'the front are almost eventless. Only, when. one of our patrols, encouraged by the inactivity on the side of Capua, pushes forward 'under the very walls of the fortress, do there come signs which: show that Capua and its neighbour hood are not deserted. Nevertheless, yesterday being - the first day of voting for the annexation, precau tions were taken in case there should be on the part of the enemy an intention of disturbing the process which is 'legally to deprive 'King Francis f his kingdom and make- Italian unity almost a reality. Inc , Trir i As I told you long ago, as soon ,as the Pied atontesc crossed the frontier Garibaldi considered his military task ended, and you will find that fro& that time no offensive movement was made on our si,de. On the 18th, nevertheless, the Medici Divi-- sion was sent forward towards La Valle, in front of Nraddaloni, and this looked as if this division w 1.0 sent to unite with . the Sonnaz Brigade, which was expected in that direction, and then make a joint operation against the Volturno, near or above Cajazzo. The intentions in this respect have been clianged, and the Medici Division returned the next de;y and took up its quarters at Caserta. It received neva day orders to return to St. Angelo and re lieve the Piedrnontese troops, Who were all to unite at Madcialoni for a forward movement. According to this, Garibaldi's whole force is to remain ! on the south side of the. Volturno, and the offensive move ments to be exclusively made by Piedmontese troops, This is a• kind of compliment on the part of Garibaldi, and not, as some might think, another slap in the face of the Dictator; for it if; but: fair to say that the commanders of 'the Piedmontese troops have paid their respects to Garibaldi, informing him that their orders were to place themselves unconditionally under the orders of the Dictator, to be employed as he thiiaks most •fit.. Nevertheless, I do not believe that Garibaldi has any intention of making any operation whatever, his presence being required with the King, who is approaching. Much will depend upon their first interview. There is no doubt that evil councillors have shaken the confidence of Victor Emmanuel in thee purity of Garibaldi's designs, but subsequent, e ovnts must have made him see the error into which he was led, and he must be anxious to heal the wounds which his distrust has inflicted on the frank but extremely sensitive nature of Garibaldi. :For the last few days he has been, as it were, making his Dictatorial testament—making those last dispositions which he thinks necessary? pa;tly to recompense those who have suffered, or distill gutished themselves during the war, and to have those who have lost limbs or property by the war provided for. _ _ _ _ _ As you will remember, the original few hundred Cacciatori who remained after Calatafimi and Pa lermo became the nucleus of the first two Brigades, Bixio and Eber. These Cacciatori represented, as it were, the creme de la creme of the Volunteers, the majority of them being educated youths—students, engineers, lawyers, proprietOrs, &c:,. who, carried away by the greatness of the enterprise and its dangers, followed Garibaldi, regardless of all con sideration. It is matter of history how this small band behaved, and, not unnaturally, very few of them were inclined to separate, even for promotion's sake, from their old compa,nions, with whom they had trod the same path of Iltwour. They were like so many groups, which in their turn were held toge ther by emulation. Taus ail the students of Pavia were in one, those of Bergamo in another battalion, those of Genoa and Milan again in others. This clubbing together was greatly favourable to the development of an esprit de corps such as perhaps no other corps pos sesses in the South Italian army, but it was by no means favourable to the promotion of these devoted youths. In spite of all the care taken to reward those who , had most merited it, there were not officers' charges enough in these two brigades to recompense all those who would have deserved it. Numbers of youths Who have behaved splendidly every time they were called upon, and who besides by their education - were quite as capable of being Officers as the boys who came out of the military colleges of Ivrea and Novara, are still privates and non-commissioned officers. It would have been the greatest ingratitude to leave them so, and Garibaldi has now raised all those who deserved it to the rank of officers. Whether the Piedmontese War Department will recognise these as well as the m o et ov t a h eNtn e t r oe trr p ht rhi this stillmlp t o ot atil no i y o tb n wes hasad i a s n bs dcie insisted i omi s sestdoe, d n uf a onu t r in sof G unconditional ibuntyi oinGo a an r : ib roitbf a ha l l a di is stdun. a South h Another last disposition of Garibaldi is that the families of all those fallen in battle, and those who have suffered imprisonment or exile under the late Government, should receive pensions from the State. Further dispositions are to be made by the Ministry of the 'lnterior, that all those who have suffered by the inevitable consequences of war in their property may be indemnified in proportion to the damage they have sustained. To recompense soldiers of En erit the national domains are to be employed, and the property exist- in in mortmain.

But the Papal prisons have likewise their tales of horror to relate. Much light has lately been thrown on their by a small Italian work, entitled " The prisons of Pali ano." From the account of that work given in the Florence Nazione, we here reproduce the following details " Amidst, the events which, during these last days , of re ol.ution, menaced the temporal anthbriii= 'Of its Btafe'onany thin 6 were fOigotten by the Court ofrltome. It omitted, for example, to remove from the telegraph offices the regis teis of the despatches, and thus Europe, has had an oppor- tunity of admiring the MussulMan orders exchanged be tA'veen the foreign generals and the Monsignori, Italian and non-Italian. Bat one thing it did:not forget, namely, to remove the political prisoners shut up in the fastness of Paliano, and to bring then Under safe custody to Rome, lest their liberator's should arrive in time to free them. The pleasure of vengeance must be, indeed, a, sublime one. II must be quite inexhaustible. It must transcend all imagi• nation when priests seek to gratify it with so much eager. _ _ . ness. But what an outrage is thus offered to the religion of a God of peace and mercy. Whilst those who inhabit the sacerdotal palaces of Rome take delight in tormenting, in torturing, in prolonging the slavery of the prisoners of Fallen°, the Government of King Victor Emmanuel grants all the honours of war to the cosmopolitan soldiers of the Pope, sends them away perfectly free, and pardons the ministers of the Church on whom severe sentences have been passed by the tribunals. Thus it is the King who pardons, while the Pontiff strikes down his victims, "Italy has now been made acquaintod with the torments inflicted on polii ical prisoners, in the prisons of Medicina and of Ferrara, by the turnkeys, and even by means of dogs; and publicity has been given to the seatences passed by the Papal tribunals themselves (though mover executed by the Government) on the political agents who in Bologna in flicted tortures surpassing rho memories of the middle ages. "We shall now hear the treatment pursued towards the political prisoners of Paliano. The description which we now publish has been written in the fortress itself, and came into the hands of one of our friends. We give it without any alteration, because its simplicity is not unimportant, and because from that very simplicity it better represents the truth respecting the Papal Spietberg " ' In the fort of Paliano there are about 200 political prisoners, dressed like the criminals condemned to the gal lefs, and, like them, shaved. They aro divided into five 'Fi6otions. Those condemned for life are shut up in cells, about nine spans wide and about sixteen long, including the little table of brickwork. Other cells, about three spans wider, contain three prisoners ; and others, not much larger, have 17 all huddled together. In the first of these there is a small grating over and opposite , the door, through which the food is introduced. The other cells have one window, and sometimes two, with an °pouf/1g of about four spans in breadth and one in height, and through this the prisoners are fired upon if it be necessary to keep them quiet. The food consists of two black loaves, a composition of earth, rye, vetch, and insects of all kinds, villanously baked, and weighing from 15 to 1t ounces. About half a pint of wine, of which the composition is unknown. The soup is made of French and comnion beans of the worst quality that can be found. Of these there should be four ounces, but there are scarcely six with the addition of the water. The condiment for the same ought to be three ounces of lard for every five portions of soup ; but there is not more than the half, and that of a rancid quality. On Thursday the soup is made with rico, of whicth there should be four ounces raw, but there are not four ounces even when it is boiled, and it is dressed in the same way. On Sunday macca roni is allowed, but very few are able to eat it. It is positively noxious from its acid quality, and from the mixture of the excrement of mice and also of insects; The room used as an hospital is 65 spans in length and 3 in breadth, and only 10 spans from the floor to the cetiling, with two small windows on one side overlooking tile country, and a very small loophole on the other, corresp ending with the interior of the fort. It contains 21 beds, with planks, on which there are laid straw mattresses, containing some 301 b. weight of the filthiest straw, which is changed once a-year. There are likewise woollen mattresses, st'trffcd with from 201 b. to 251 b. of miserable wool. That also is cleaned only once a year. The bed-linen is very scanty and very bad. There aro ono or two woollen coverlets weighing but a few pounds. " ' When some wretched creature has been struck down with ague he has no means of covoring himself. The hos pital food, when on full allowance, consists of two loaves, which ought to weigh 120 z., but; are seldom more than 10oz. ; as to the meat—Heaven only knows from what ani mal it is furnished—the weight of the same is not more than 30z., including skin and grin stle. The broth is like dish-water. The soup is of maccai -oni, rice, and semolina, these being of the quality which yo, a would give to poultry, and also of straw. The weight of -the said soup is 3oz. for two portions, and half a pint of; wine of the mysterious quality aforesaid. The half allow: ii.nce in the hospital con sists of two small loaves of scarcely Boz., half the wine, and half the meat. The strict diet consists of a soup in the morning, and another in the eveni n g, of the quality of that just described. After dinner each ii ivalid has an egg. The treatment is homoeopathic. The p hysician, Carlo Rosa, is a homoeopathist. The surgeon, I - Juigi Riguinot, a Cor sican, is an allopathist. They visit the sick alternately. The patients are neglected and treated. The med ita al , of has bo r n such _ e a. upsleapcp, Pacifici,deten- attendants will hardly ever send a -patient to the hospital, o e and when they do send him they I Llinost always keep ding im on strict diet.
