If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last return from such leave or furlough. If two or more applicants are equal in both respects, the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada tion List. XVI.

The news by the Seine from the River Plate brings full details of the defeat of the Allied forces sent to reconnoitre the position of the Paraguayans at Tebicuari. The Spanish and Brazilian news papers keep an ominous silence on the subject, but the Buenos Ayres Standard and the German Zettung of Buenos Ayres give full particulars. The following is from the Standard : " THE BATTLE OF JACAIIE. " Another battle is added to the history of the Paraguayan campaign ; and, although a very guarded silence is observed as to the particulars of the late fights, sufficient facts have transpired to prove that the enemyoutnumbered,outgeneralled, and out witted the Allies. It is difficult to imagine that for the purposes of future military operation such silence should be deemed necessary. The public has a right to know the facts, and we confess astonishment that General Gelley y Obes, who is so attentive to Correntino politics, should he oblivious of the necessity of sending an official report to his Government of this battle. The letter; which are at hand from head-quarters speak of this last fight as a serious affair ; and although we are disposed to think that much of this correspondence must be received, 'cum grano salis,' yet on the steamer leaving Corrientes it was notorious that a serious engagement had been fought, the Allied ex peditionary force driven back, and numbers of wounded had arrived at Corrientes. The few facts which we have at our command afford the following details respecting the battle : The Allied Commander-in-Chief, on the occupa tion of the Chaco finding that the enemy was mus tering forces close to the river Tebicuari, and gather ing from the statements of deserters that the slender forces which Lopez had drawn off from Humaita formed the nucleus of an army which each day was becoming more numerous owing to the time allowed Lopez to bring fresh recruits from all parts, deter mined to despatch an expeditionary force to recon noitre the enemy's position, to halt on the banks of the river Tebicuari, and try if possible to dis cover a suitable fording place for the passage of the army, then to cross the river, push slightly into the interior, and report the general aspect of the country. General Mena Barreto was selected to command this expeditionary force, and for fully a month before the division started preparations on the most gigantic scale were adopted by Marshal Callas to insure success ; the men were mounted on the best horges the army could afford, and supplied with rifles of the most unerring precision ; some of the best regiments were picked from the army, and officers of the first rank and family engaged for the exploit. Long previous to the departure of this force, Marshal Caxias had learned great and valuable information from prisoners and deserters caught by the outposts ; but from the sequel, as will be seen, Lopez was even better in formed of the intended movement of the Allies, by either spies or deserters. On the morning of the sth inst., everything being in readiness, the expe ditionary force marched from the Allied camp, fully mounted, equipped, and accoutred ; the van guard was exclusively cavalry, some Argen tine, some Correntino, headed by Recalde— the infantry in the rear. The weather was sultry and the country heavy, but the division marched with the strictest discipline. The guides led the forces through an open and swampy country, belted by an ugly laguna, which s p rea d away i n t o the interior. Doubling the point of this laguna they struck into a defile, which offered great diffi culties to the advance of the troops. The woods on either side seemed to be impenetrable, and solely occupied by birds of the most varie gated plumage flying out from the branches in thousands, uttering wild shrieks, and flee ing on the advance of the horsemen. The road lay for several miles through this treach erous forest. Emerging from it, the vanguard fell in with an estancia where was posted a Para guayan piquet numbering some fifty men. Here a small fight ensued. The Paraguayan soldiers dis dained to fly until the place was surrounded; four teen were taken prisoners, one or two killed, and the rest escaped into the woods. Deploying a little to the right, the Allied division halted, and, posting sentinels and outposts, rested for a while. The position seemed good enough, but either the guides were too fast or the Allies too slow. Right in front lay a deep and rapid arroyo or stream called the Jacare, which has received its name from the number of alligators which infest its banks. The stream flows almost parallel with the river Tebicuari, which is about two leagues to the other side. The Jacare falls into the Paraguay facing a small island of the same name. The woods through which the Allies had passed stretch off in angular form in a north-wes terly direction, whilst the country which lay be tween the Allies and the river Paraguay was less densely wooded. After some slight delay the expe ditionary force prepared to cross the Yacare, and turning a bend in the path marched to a more open plateau, which overlooked the canada,' through which the stream ran. It is difficult, in the absence of a military map, either to under stand the description given by correspondents, or to explain the position of the beEigerents to our read ers ; but, as far as we can learn, the Allied cavalry had just crossed the river Jacare, after unusual dif ficulties, and were sallying from a wood on the opposite bank, when the vanguard descried the enemy coming down upon them. A fight at once ensued, and the Brazilians, being unable to bring their whole force into action, were driven back by the enemy, when suddenly they were attacked in the rear by a still more numerous force, led on by a Paraguayan officer and an Oriental named Laguna. The ambuscade was so effectually carried out, that notwithstanding the heroic bravery of the Brazilians, who fought against such tremendous odds, a body of Paraguayan cavalry broke in on their left flank, and succeeded in capturing the horses. The Brazi lian commander, with true military tact, formed in squares, and kept up such a running fire of muske try as to keep the enemy at bay ; but suddenly fresh forces of the enemy dashed out of the woods on the right flank with the most unearthly yells, but did not cross the river. The Brazilian squares formed walls of steel ; and the commander drew off his men when the vanguard had recrossed the arroyo with the most admirable precision ; although followed to the water's edge by the enemy. The expeditionary force retreated and returned to headquarters. It does not appear that the enemy attempted to cross the Id. STAMPED .51 river. •The Allies lost some men in fording the stream ; but as yet we have no figures given us of the losses on either side ; probably by next mail we may have the required details. An Englislonan resident at Corrientes has promised to send us all particulars, which the English doc`or in charge of the wounded is collecting. As impartial observers we cannot omit to point to the error of the Allied Com mander in sending so small a force into the enemy's country; but it appears that Marshal Caxias had been led to believe that the enemy was not iu force this side of the Tebicuari. Rad the Commander-in-Chief despatched say 10,000 men the result of the engagement would have been far different ; thus realising the truth of the old saying— " Never send a boy on a man's errand." There are let ters at hand which state positively that the bulk of the enemy's forces that took part iu the fight were women, it is said commanded ,by Brigadier- General Eliza Lynch, an Englishwoman, and that Lopez himself was not far off when the fight oc curred. The Paraguayan officer displayed very poor generalship in attacking before the whole allied force had crossed the jacare ; but the stream was too deep and rapid for the infantry to crows, even the cavalry got across with the greatest diffi culty and had to swim their horses. The force was destitute of bridges or floats. It is not surprising, therefore, that the first great expedition attempted by the Allies to march into the interior of the enemy's country should have come to an unlooked-for finale. The expedition to the Tebicuari, it appears, con sisted of 6,000 cavalry well mounted and equipped, and the only result that was known at the time the Wasp left was that a number of dead horses had come floating down the river past Curupaity. The Chaco is all overflown on account of the great floods. The Brazilians attempted to avail them selves of the great rise in the river to send a small steamer over the chains, loaded with coal for the ironclads above llumaita ; she, however, struck the chain, and the batteries having opened upon her she made a precipitate retreat. Humaita seems to have no lack of ammunition, and the fire they at times keep up against the ironclads and enemy's batteries is perfectly terrific. 1,500 Brazilians, it is reported, have fallen into the hands of the Paraguayans, besides a large number of horses and quantities of ammunition. The diffi culties between the United States Minister, Mr. Washburne, and the Brazilian Comm ruder-in- Chief have not been settled as yet. Mr. Wash burne, American *Minister, refuses to leave Asun cion until the Admiral sends up a vessel for him ; he will not come down to Curupaity, but awaits a gunboat in the harbour. The Brazilian Commander-in-chief refused point-blank to allow the Wasp to pass up, and now the question has become a diplomatic one. Brother Jonathan insists on his light, shows that during the American war he allowed British vessels to enter Charleston for her Consuls, and now insists that Brazil must either fight or let the Ameri can vessels pass. We are also happy to see it mentioned that Messrs.' Valpy and Burrill, two English civil engineers, for whose safety some anxiety was felt by their friends at home, have been peacefully engaged in finishing the railway from Asuncion to Villa Rica. ~/ _~ 711 E LAST VETO MESSAGE. The Veto Message on the Bill throwing out the Electoral votes of the uuconstructed. Southern States is as pretty a piece of writing, as it is use less. Considering the Act to be grounded on the old error that these States never were out of the Union, the President asks what right his Congress to dic tate terms to them, or to alter the method pre scribed by the Constitution of counting and re ceiving the electoral votes. lie declares the only votes Congress can take and count are those given under the old system of State Governments, the new Governments being illegal. In the Senate, i❑ reply to Mr. Davis's remark that the reasoning was unanswerable, Mr. Howard said it was one of the most incendiary documents emanating from that source, and he was ready to meet this issue and take up the glove. In the House it was greeted with laughter, and the question was discussed as to whom Andrew Johnson alluded as the rebels in New York, Mr. Eldridge asserting that they were the Renublicans who urged that the " wayward sisters" should be permitted to depart iu peace, while Mr. Farnsworth considered they were Sey mour's personal friends, including Seymour himself. We agree with the Senator who called the message an incendiary document, aud though we have grown accustomed to a President stigmatizing a Congress as acting in a manner wholly illegal, yet this is really incendiary in so far as it gives the highest authority for a party in defeat to resist by force a result they may.assert to have been obtained in an unlawful way. The President continues his argu ment to combat the enactment of Congress that 4 , none of the States whose inhabitants were lately in rebellion shall be entitled to representation in the Electoral College," &c. If all is meant, then no State can be brought into the category. If some, then nearly all States, North and South, ought to be included. A portion of the inhabi., tants of New York, and a portion of those of Virginia were alike engaged in the Rebellion, yet Virginia is denied the right of voting, while New York is permitted to vote, though the latter is no more a State than the former. If Congress has the power to deprive Virginia of this right, it can exer cise the same authority with respect to New York or any of the States. Thus the result of the Pre sidential election may be controlled and determined by Congress, and the people be deprived of their rights under the Constitution to choose a President and Vice-President of the United States. We are surprised that the President should continue to waste valuable time in an argument that might become a school boy's thesis, but is practically ineffectual, at least for good. It is notorious that Virginia was one of the States which joined a Confederacy after severing its connection with the Union, and that New York did not, whence it is obvious that they cannot be discussed in the same category. Yet the President persists in arguing as if the Confederacy meant nothing, and the war meant nothing, and his little Constitutional reasons were the only things of real substance and value. If the States have all the rights he claims for them they were sovereign, and had the legal right to secede, and if so they are out till brought back to the Union. If they had not, their act was that of rampant rebellion, for which the coniueror has a right to impose a penalty. States can be criminals as well as individuals and forfeit rights by outrage. When one citizen assaults another, although the other may whip him, he has still the legal right to make his assailant pay the penalty of a breach of the peace. And this holds for any corporation or community up to a State, though no law may ex pressly include States. But a President, instead of arguing, ought to accept and weigh facts, and ex , tract all the measure of good while fending off all the evil he can ; and it has been Andrew Johnson's bane and that of the Southern States that be could never travel beyond his own pretty little arguments, which look very well on paper, but practically are worse than useless.—Anglo-ilwerican 1 ones.

After referring to the local contest, declaring that he sap a surted Mr. Aliall because he believed he was the choice or the Liberal party, he said that the great question now before the country—the Irish Church—was one which might well make them wish utterly to dispel all personal piques and local jealousies. It was a question that stirred men's minds throughout the country, and it had stirred the minds of the men of Bradford. What was the motive of the Liberal party in these efforts? They believed that unless they carried out these measures we could not preserve the union between England and Ireland without —for there was no use in mincing matters—having, first or last, civil war. Now, what was the motive of their opponents ? These two fears—that the interests of Protestantism would be endan gered, and that the English Church would be endangered. What did governing Ireland by force mean ? By terror, with the possibility, as the Irish were a high-spirited people, of a civil war breaking out every moment. Mr. Disraeli congratulated the Lord Mayor and his guests upon the state of Ireland. Ile (Mr. Forster) could not congratulate them upon the state of Ireland ; and Mr. Disraeli and his friends had done all they could to alarm the country upon the state of that land. And what was the cause of that alarm ? In considering that question ho had had to look deep into the meaning of a union between the two countries. A union between England and Ireland was not a union in the minds of the Irish people. If we kept up by force in Ireland the church of a minority, which would be instantly swept away were Ireland an independent country, how could it be said that we pre. served a union upon terms of political equality? The question was not imperial, because it was one that specially, affected Irish interests and Irish feelings ; and Irish feelings should be considered upon many questions, and most of an that which lay deepest in men's minds—that of religion, The question ought to be considered upon the principles of the Union, not upon those terms which were partly bribed and "partly bullied out of the Protestant minority who then governed Ireland, but upon those principles which an Irish patriot could accept, those of a real union upon equal terms of the three countries. Now he came to the fears which inspired the policy of their opponents; and, first, that of Protestantism being endangered by the die establishment of the Irish Church. He was as much opposed to the Roman Catholic form of religion as they could possibly be with his, but he did not believe that the interests of Protestantism had been advanced by the Pro. testant ascendancy. He believed that they could not have adopted a plan less likely to advance the interests of Protes tantism than the present. The old system of force and fierce persecution might have succeeded, but by no possibility.. could they have adopted a system less likely to do it than that they adopted in Ireland. The Protestant ascend ancy in Ireland had damaged the interests of Protestant-, ism, and the result was, that whereas in most Catholic countries there was a very strong party in opposition to that ultramontane policy which he was sorry to say now was practised at Rome, in Ireland there were scarcely any Catholics who did not belong to the ultramontane party, After replying to Dr. 11`Neile's arguments on this point, he said lie should be sorry if, by any action of those within, the Church came to an end, and he would tell them wily. Not because he thought there was any great advantage of bishops being in the House of Lords. Not because he conceived that in the present state of society and civilisation an establishment was necessary—for if be were a colonist he should probably, as the colonists did, be they Conservatives, Whigs, or Radicals, have perfect equality of religion ; but for this rea- son, that as England was now constituted and circumstanced, the Church of England and the clergy of that Church did great good ; and he should feel that if the Church were disestablished and disconnected with the State, a great engine of good was removed. That engine of good he considered to be the parochial system. There was a parochial system in England which did good, but the parochial system in Ireland was an insult to the people. (Cheers.) How could a man look after the spiritual interests of his parishioners when the enormous majority of them were taught week by week to believe that he was a heretic ? That was a glaring anomaly, and he asked who w e re the real friends to the Church of England—those who wished to separate her from the Church of Ireland or those who wished to keep her indissolubly united with the Church of Ireland ? Allowing that the two churches must be united, and that they must remain one, and that the English Church could not be separated from the Trish Church, at the same time they would believe that the English Church could not be maintained in Ireland except at the - point of the bayonet ; and then they should be obliged to ask the question—Was the English Church with its blessings worth preserving at the cost? The friends of the Church ought to be very careful before they put that question to the country, and he asserted that they said that at this moment, and it was because that was said, that we found so little response to the appeal which he grieved to say the Bishop of London had made to twenty thousand clergymen, an appeal which even at that moment he must regret that lie had ever made. He (the speaker) was not the less a friend of the Church of England because he argued with ell his might in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish Church. As to the endowments of the Irish Church, with respect to the anxiety to know his views on that matter, ho should not have the disposal of it, and could only give them the general principles, and these general principles were these —that all individual interests should be gene rously treated, and that the State should not attempt to dispose of any property which was not State property. (Hear, hear.) He should be asked what was State pro perty. Well, he should say that the State ought not to interfere with such an endowment as that which was given by the late Sir Benjamin Guinness to the cathedral of Dublin. But it was impossible that he could enter upon this phase of the question, and he expected that in the event of any Irish Church Bill being passed, a committee would be appointed to examine into the case. As to the surplus which there would undoubtedly be, and how they would dispose of it, these two principles would guide —that, having abolished one State Church, he should not set up another, and that if there were anysurplus (letthem not think it would be any great quantity), after individual interests were looked after—and nobody was greedy for the money, it was a question of principle and not of money— he should say it must be given to Irish interests, and in doing that lie should very much consult the feelings of the Irish people. (Applause.) THE LATE MARQUIS OF DOWNSHIRE. There wore (says .the Northern Whig) some circumstances in connection with Lord Downshire's death which are worth noting. He died on his 56th birth-day, having been born on, the 6th of August, 1812, and died on the 6th day of August, 18G8. His father, tho third marquis, was also 56 when he died. His grandfather, the second marquis, died at 52. On Thursday morning last, the joy-bells of Hillsborough wero rung in the morning to celebrate his birthday, and in the evening the same bells tolled to announce his death. The Dublin Mail remarks that the great popularity of the late Marquis of Downshire "gave him a political power in the north of Ireland which few Irishmen have ever possessed, and which, in its source, is full of instruc tion for the class to which ho belonged. His splendid for. tune and munificent use of it, at home, were not so much the cause of the good-feeling universally entertained towards him, as the fact that this was only the reflection of his own manly disposition and genial manners. We remember many years ago to have heard an humble neighbour of his say, 'There's no use in opposing the Marquis within his bounds. Many a time I saw him take his place with a scythe, among his mowers, or on a potato ridge with a spade ; not for a spurt, but to do a good man's work, and then sit down to lunch, and chat, and mayhap to smoke a pipe with the men, when their dinner was brought to them in the field.' We relate this little incident because, in our opinion, it is a more touching tributo to the memory of the departed nobleman than all his titles of honour ; and because it points to tho sorest fault in Irish society." THE INSTITUTION OF MINING ENCINEERS.--+ Mr. George Elliott, the well-known colliery proprietor, has just been declared president of this institution. The post is filled by election once in every three years, and was held by the late Nicholas Wood up to the time of his death. KILLED BY LIGHTNING.—The South Durham Mercury says that on Thursday afternoon about two o'clock a terrific thunderstorm broke over Belford, Northumber- land, and rain fell in torrents. Mrs. Virtue Moffatt had gone with Mr. George Gibson's children about three miles from Belford, for the purpose of bathing them. When they reached the sea, about half-past three o'clock, the storm was raging in dreadful fury. She had bathed one child, and Mary Ann Goodwell, the nurse, was taking another one forward, when the electric spark struck Mrs. Moffatt dead in the water. The deceased was a widow, about GO years of age. The same journal states that during the temporary thunderstorm which raged off the coast, as the screw collier Londonderry, Captain Everett, belonging to Mr. P. Watt, was proceeding, in ballast, on her voyage from the Elbe to Hartlepool, and when about three miles off Huntcliffe Foot, on the Yorkshire coast, the lightning split up one of its masts, and, from the way in which it shot along the deck, caused an electric shock to pass through several of the crew, rendering them perfectly stupefied, and deaf for several hours subsequently.
