amendment. As the bill stood it might be reconsidered next year or the year after. He should most certainly vote against the amendment. (Hear, hear,) Mr. HUME said the existence of this act in the eyes of the natives wSuld be always uncertain, and there would be no security for property in India, from the prevalence of the feeling that the government would be liable to a con tinual charge. Nevertheless, he must protest against the idea which had been thrown out, of placing India upon the same footing as the colonies. Mr. T. BARING remarked that if the bill was good the system of government would be, as far as it well could be, permanent ; if it was defective, the government would be uncertain, and it was for that very ground that ho felt strongly in favour of the clause as it stood, and was opposed to the amendment. The object of all of them must be to obtain a good government for India ; and he repeated, the government to be established by this bill would be perma nent so long as it was good, or uncertain so long as it was defective. This would be a great stimulant to exertion on the part of the authorities, and for that reason he was opposed to again having a lease of the government of India. Mr. DANBY SEYMOUR quiteagreed with the hon. gen tleman who last addressed the house; that it would be most undesirable to insert any term of years in the bill, because if any defects were found to exist in the Government, it would be open to immediate removal, and would be a great inducement for capitalists to invest in Indian property. Lord STANLEY said, for his own part, he was so little satisfied with the bill as a whole, that he could not consent to give up any op irtunity for altering or amending it. Now, if this amen. ent were adopted, it would be used as an argunient against any future motions for improving the Government of India, since whenever any motion of that sort was brought on, it would be met with an obser vation something like this :—" Oh, what is the use of de bating the subject now when the whole question will have to be considered at the end of five or six years," as the case might be. For these reasons, he could not give his support to the amendment. Viscount JOCELYN declined to press the amendment, and it was ultimately withdrawn. Mr. PHINN proposed to insert in the third line, after the word "shall," the words "be governed by and i n the name of her Majesty, her heirs, and successors." Sir H. WILLOUGHBY the it would be much bet ter to leave the clause as it st The natives were ac customed to the present style and title in the government, and any other perhaps would not be so acceptable to them. The committee then divided, when there appeared— For the amendment 34 Against it 127 Majority The clause was then agreed to. On clause 2, It was agreed to fill up the date when the 18 directors should come into power thus, " second Wednesday in the month of April, 1854." Viscount JOCELYN had given notice of an amend ment which was to increase the number of directors from 18 to 24, as he thought the former number would be wholly insufficient to manage the functions of the board. As the bill stood, it was proposed to have 12 directors elected by the proprietors, and six nominated by the Crown; but if his amendment was carried he should move that 16 be elected by the Court of Proprietors and eight nomi nated by the Crown. Mr. HUME said this appeared td him to be the most important part of the bill. He, for one, thought the whole of the directors ought to remain elective, and en tirely free from political influence. They saw enough of the ill effects of self-elections in the Scotch burghs, and he trusted this attempt to introduce the system into the Court of Directors would not be persevered in. Sir C. WOOD said it was no doubt difficult to prove the necessity of 18, or 24, or any precise number, but judg ing from experience they came to the conclusion that 24 was a large and inconvenient number. In 1813, Lord Grenville proposed to reduce the board of directors to 12, and in 1833 the present Lord Glenelg also proposed to re duce them to 12, but the directors at those periods ob jected to the reduction in consequence of the large com mercial business which they had to transact. In 1833, Mr. Tucker, the ablest of the court of directors at that period, said that, for the transaction of territorial business 16 would be ample, and the board had no other business to transact. A body composed of 24 members was too large for an executive council. Would any one propose that the Imperial Cabinet, which certainly had not more business to transact than the India board, should be composed of 24 members ? Authority and experience showed that 24 was an inconvenient number for an executive body. In deed, if he had a view to efficiency only, he should be dis posed to reduce the Court of Directors still more than was proposed. The executive council in India was composed of only four members. (Hear, hear.) But it was neces sary to keep up the independence of the board, as well as that they should be efficient, and he thought that both those objects would be best secured by the number which the bill proposed. Mr. T. BARING thought that it was not wise to dis turb an existing arrangement, unless it was found to be inconvenient, or unless some good was to be effected by the change, The right hon. gentleman said that the 24 was a large and inconvenient body. Where was the evidence of that ? No one stated before the committee that the pre sent number was found to be inconvenient, or that it in terfered with the dispatch of business. As far as the evi dence before the committee went, it was in favour of 24. (Hear.) Ho did not think that they should be guided by opinions given in 1813 and 1833. Lord Glenelg, in a letter on this point, dated the 16th of March, 1832, said that the subject was a difficult one, and that the number of direc tors must be proportion to the business done. Now, con sidering the great extent of new territory acquired since that period he did not think the business to be transacted could have diminished, notwithstanding that the India Board had no longer any commerci a l business to per form. The evidence of Mr. Waterfield showed that there was an enormous increase of business. In 1830 there were but 602 dispatches, whereas in 1849 there were 2,445. It might be said that the Board of Control transacted the business, but the whole of it was sifted and digested by the India Board before it was sent to the Board of Control. There were 24 directors of the Bank of England, and they had not more business to perform than the India Board. There was no object of economy or patronage to be gained by the diminution, and if the business had heretofore been transacted satisfactorily, he saw no reason why a change should be made. It seemed to him to be giving an unme- rited slap to a body of men who performed their duties with satisfaction to the country. (Oh !) He thought it would not be easy to choose out of the House of Commons itself risen of more integrity, of more honour, or less guided by party feeling than the 24 gentlemen who conducted the business of the India House. With regard to the Execu tive Council in India being composed of four members, it rather told against the right hon. gentleman, for it had been proved before the committee that many, useful re forms had been omitted in consequence of the great pres sure of business upon them. He should therefore support the amendment of the noble lord. Mr, BRIGHT said he was not surprised at the speech of the hon. member, seeing that he had made one previously, the tone of which might have led any one to expect that ,he would postpone the bill on its introduction. The Pre sident of the Board of Control was also fairly chargeable with great inconsistency in this matter, No one who had heard the greater part of his first speech would have sup posed that ho meant to propose any alteration. For four hours he indulged the house with a panegyric on everything that the Court of Directors had done. The hon. gentleman (Mr. Baring) said he was in favour of efficiency in the court. So far as efficiency was concerned, he (Mr. Bright) would have been glad to see the number reduced not merely to 18 but to 12. (Hear.) He agreed with the right hon. gentleman the member for Edinburgh, that too much formal business connected with India had been trans acted in England ; and he was satisfied that one of tho main elements of improvement was to got rid of a large portion of the ineffective labour now performed in this country. Ho would like to know how many members of the court generally attended the meetings, and what amount of time they gave to the business of governing India. It was well known that many of them had chair manships, directorships, and other occupations uncon nected with tho India House ; and he presumed that they walked into the India House and entered their names as present, and that the actual labour was confined to one third of the number. If that were the fact, what necessity could there be for keeping up the number at 24 ? The hon. gentleman (Mr. T. Baring) said there never was a body more free from party feeling. He (Mr. Bright) had under stood that it was a fatal objection to a candidate for the directorate that he was a member of Brookes's Club. (Laughter.) That showed that party feeling was not en tirely shut out from the court. His own experience with regard to committees of that house had led him to the con clusion that 18 was a much better number than 24; and he thought that India would be better governed by a council of seven members chosen judiciously—able men, clearly responsible, and having the power of recording their dissent from the Board of Control—than 21 or 18 men chosen in the incongruous and inconsistent manner that the court had been hitherto. Mr. C. BRUCE thought that considering the variety and importance of the duties to be discharged the number of directors should be increased rather than diminished. Captain MANGLES said—With regard to the hon. member's (Mr. Bright's) jocose story about Brookes's Club, ho wished to observes that it was pretty well known that he himself held radical opinions rather stronger than those of the members of Brookes's Club, but that had been no bar to his admission to the Court. His right hon. friend the President of the Board of Control had repeatedly spoken of the Court of Directors as an executive body ; whereas it was, in fact, a much more consultative than an executive body, its proper function being to revise and control. In considering the question before the committee it should be borne in mind that India was not one and indivisible, but a country which presented as great varieties as those which existed between England and Germany; and it was abso lutely essential that the Court of Directors should be per sonally conversant with th e h a bi ts, manners, and character of the whole people of India. The hon. member for Man chester had drawn an analogy between the Court of Direc tors and a committee of that house ; but surely th ere was no analogy between a tribunal which had to d ea l with only one question and one which had to deal with hundreds of questions. At present the court was composed of three com mittees, each consisting of seven or eight members, U n der the Government plan the committee would consist of only five or six members. The Court of Directors had no vaca tion ; under their charter and bye-laws they sa t every wee k. Negroes must have holidays. (Laughter.) The right hon. baronet had laid no grounds for the alte ra ti on proposed, nor had shown that any inconvenience had arisen from the present number of tile court. He seem e d to found himself on a mere sp eculative notion that 18 was a better number than 24. Lord STANLEY approved of the reduction, and con sidered that the court would still be the largest executive council in the world. As to the quantity of business, one of the reforms expected was a considerable diminution in the amount of formal business and in the number of dis patches, which webld be sent home for approval. Mr- J. PRILLIMORE approved of the reduction, and would vote for the clause as it stood. Sir It. INGLIS had heard no sufficient reason for alter ing the number of directors. He should therefore support the proposition of the noble lord for inserting 24 hours in stead of 18. .111 r. RICH supported the clans©. quite a sufficient number. of opinion that 18 was Mr. J.

The committee then divided— For the number "18," es in the clause lB6 For the amendment B5 Majority ~ 101 The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the bill. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Monday, at six o'clock, on the house resuming after the morning sitting. Lord PALMERSTON said that the house would sit on Monday, at two o'clock, to take the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Bill. Mr. BOUVERIE intimated that there was Attie chance of their getting through that bill in two hours. CUSTOMS ACTS. The house then went into committee on the Customs Acts. On the resolution relating to the duties to be levied in the Isle of Man, Sir J. WALMSLEY hoped that after the petition he had that day presented from the Isle of Man, the hon. gentleman, the Secretary to the Treasury, would not pro ceed with the resolutions. Mr. WILSON said that by the present customs regula tions in the Isle of Man, the duties levied were lower than those in England, and, in consequence of a system of licences, a monopoly had been created which diminished the imports of some articles into the island. The Treasury had received constant applications from the Isle of Man for an alteration which would allow the free importation of all the articles that were re quired, and the reason of the proposed change was with a view to that effect. In order to attain that, it had been found necessary slightly to raise the duties. He had received resolutions from the House of Keys, which did not offer any objection to the general principle of the alterations, although objections were m a d e t o some of the details ; bu t as a whole the authorities of the island were in favour of the change. The effect would be, that for the first time the Isle of Mau would have the privilege of the entire coasting trade of the United Kingdom, and have an export and import trade such as it never possessed before. If there was any surplus revenue, it would be appropriated to the improvement of the harbours of the island. Lord STANLEY wished to know if he understood cor rectly that no objection was taken to the substance of the resolutions in the island, but only to separate parts of it. Mr. WILSON—There was certainly some difference of opinion, but the authorities of the island, on the whole, were of opinion, that in order to effect the desired object some increase of duties was necessary. Mr. G. HAMILTON could confirm the statement of the hon. gentleman with regard to the applications which. had been made to the Treasury from the Isle of Man ; but he hoped the house would cautiously consider any changes that were to be made. He complained that no time had been allowed for the island to come to a decision upon this matter. It would be better to defer the consideration of these resolutions until the authorities of the island had time to consider them. Mr. WILSON said ihat the Tre..sury minute had been submitted to the House of Keys, and the resolutions were agreed to by them. Sir J. WALMSLEY said that a gentleman (Mr. W. Cal lister) was in this country with full authority from the House of Keys. The Government were by a side wind endeavouring to destroy the constitution of the Isle of Man. The hon. gentleman concluded by moving that the chairman report progress. Lord J. MANNERS would be glad to know what had been the practice on former occasions. Mr. WILSON said it bad been the practice to consult the Isle of Man before introducing any bi2l to tax the island. He had followed that cource on the present occa sion. He had not been aware that Mr. Callister was in London, and he had no objection to corcur in the motion of the hon. baronet (Sir J. Walmsley), in order that Mr. Callister might see him at the T..ea sury, when this ques tion might be considered. The CHAIRMAN then reported progress. Tho house re sumed. SUCCESSION DUTY BILL. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he believed that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer had made a statement at an early period of the evening as to the course he proposed to pur sue with regard to this bill. He (Sir J. Pakington) was rot present when that statement was made, he therefore asked the right hon. gentleman what he proposed doing ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER repeated the statement given in an earlier part of our report, that the bill would be proceeded with and the amendments con sidered on Monday. Mr. HENLEY hoped that members would have the bill in good time in order to give them an opportunity of con, sidering the amendments. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH (No. 3) BILL. This bill was read a second time. BELFAST MUNICIPAL BOUNDARIES BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BOITVERIE said this was to all intents and pur poses a private bill, and ought to have gone through the usual forms of private bills, but it was brought in as a Go vernment bill. If this practice were continued it would lead to numbers of applications to Government to under take p:ivate bills in order that the parties might save them selves the trouble and expense of applying in the usual form. Having entered his caveat against such a practice s he should take no further proceeding respecting it. The bill then went through committee. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. This bill passed through committee. JEVANGEE PESTONGEE, AND RIISTOMGEE VICAGEE. The adjourned debate on the question of printing this petition was resumed, and after a short discussion, was negatived. CORRUPT OFFENCES (COLONIES) BILL. The bill was read a second time. COURTS OF COMMON LAW (IRELAND BILL). This bill, as amended, was considered, and ordered to be read a third time on Thursday next. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND) ( Mr. COWAN moved for an address for copies of the correspondence between the Treasury, the Stationery-office, the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland, and any other parties, on the subject of the recent or intended changes in the mode of preparation, publication, and sup ply of the Irish National School books ; of the names and places of abode of the agents hitherto employed by the said commissioners for the supply of these books, whether to the National Schools or to the public, with the rate and amount of their remuneration, the value of books supplied to or sold by such agents, and the amount received as the produce of such sales, during each of the last ten years ; and of the names of any persons who have been appointed in consequence of the new arrangements, the nature of their duties, and the amount of their salaries. Agreed to. The house adjourned at a quarter past one. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JULY 9. We have much pleasure in announcing that the pen sion of 3001. per annum for good and meritorious ser vices, which fell to the patronage of the First Lord of the Admiralty on the death of Admiral Sir Charles Bullon, has been conferred upon Vice Admiral Sir C. Napier, K.C.8., &c. This well-merited acknowledg ment of Sir Charles's gallant deeds was made to him in the most handsome terms by Sir James Graham. It is reported that Rear Admiral of the White Sir William Fairbrother Carroll, K.C.8., is likely tq succeed to the Command-in-Chief on the Irish station, vice Vice- Admiral Purvis. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Frederick Hutton, struck the flag of Rear-Admiral Corry at half-past four this afternoon, the admiral proceeding on board the Agamemnon, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland. The Agamemnon shortly after fired a gun, hoisted the flag of Rear-Admiral Corry at the mizen, and' the blue peter at the fore. At five the noble ship was underweigh, steam ing out to the Nab, at the rate of 10 knots. She has gone for a week's cruise.—We watched the Agamemnon about two miles to the eastward of the Nab, when she threw out a signal, which was answered by the Comus. Put her helm aport, and stood for the Nab, took the Comus in tow, and went down Channel. The Arrogant, 46, screw frigate, Captain Fremantle, re-shipped her stores, received her crew, and re-bent sails to-day. The Co - mus, 14, Commander Fellowes, got under weigh this afternoon for sea, but the wind being light, the Echo tug gave her an offing, but she was obliged to bring up off the Knab, the wind having died away. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, C. 8., will be paid advance at Spithead on Monday. The Dasher, 4, paddle, Commander Nicholas Lefebvre, hauled into the King's-stai rs D oc k thi s morn i ng to exa mine the state of her bottom. She has been making about 10 inches of water a-day. It is suspected that the leakage is by the garboard streak, which may have been occasioned by laying her ashore at Goree, the east end of Jersey. This, however, is mere supposition, nor can the seat of mischief be got at until the water is out of the dock. Her general appearance betokens a state of discipline highly creditable to her commander. PLYMOUTH, JULY 8. The screw steam troopship Simoom, 18, Captain Henry Smith, arrived this morning from the eastward, and took coal on board in the Sound. The crew of the St. Jean d'Acre, screw steam block ship, 101, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, commenced taking her guns on board yesterday. The Sprightly, steam-tender, left yesterday for Ports mouth. The Vulture, 6, paddlewheel steam frigate, Captain Frederick H. H. Glasse, has been ordered to take stores on board, and proceed to the Mediterranean. The Exmouth, 90, building in No. 4 slip, is ordered to be converted into a screw steamship. .The Topaz screw steamship, 1;0 guns, is ordered t o b e laid down in No. 3 slip. jTHE COLLIERY EXPLOSION AT OLDHAM.---AR ad ourned inquest took place yesterday, at which Mr. Dick enson and Mr. Wynne, Government inspectors, were present. The inquiry was held before Mr. Dearden, at the Angel Inn, Oldham. It appears another collier has died since our previous report, making 18 lives lost, and two more colliers are in imminent danger. Greenwood, the underlooker, was examined yesterday, and stated that the explosion took place at a part of the working against which he had cautioned the men from entering with a naked light. He acknowledged that the colliers worked with their lamp tops off sometimes, and he had scolded them for it, but never discharged any for the offence. The inquest was not over when our account left. ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS:AT MANCHESTER. Since the strike of operatives commenced it has been found that considerable difference exists between the prices paid by some masters as compared with others, and an association of master spinners an manufacturers was formed on Thursday, with a view of promoting greater uniformity. Some of the operatives on strike were found to be earning fully 10 per cent. above the average. The meeting of the masters, to be held on Tuesday, is said to be to form a union of associations for general protection against the combinations of the operatives, SPO.RTL JGENCE, BETTING AT MANCHESTER.-YESTERDAY.

It states that the number of children attending the school during the last few months has not been so great as in former years. This is accounted for by the fact that other benevolent agencies have of late sprung up in this neighbourhood. The number of children admitted during the last year has been about 350. There are at present 450 names on the books, with an average daily attendance of more than 300. Some parents, through the prosperous state of trade, have been able to send their children to schools of a higher class, and have therefore voluntarily withdrawn them, with expressions of deep thankfulness to the com mittee for the advantages they have freely received. During the last few months there has been a marked im provement in the staple trade of the whole district, and a consequent demand for juvenile labour, which has created a new obstacle in the way of direct educational effort. The committee find it a general subject of complaint, in other schools as well as with their own, that boys and girls are withdrawn at a much earlier age than was customary in former years, and sent immediately to work, many of them being called upon to keep the same long hours as grown-up workmen. Although the improvement of the material condition of the poor is always a fitting subject for congratulation, the committee regret that it should lead to the withdrawal of so many of their children who were just of an age to reap the greatest advantages from the schools, and were beginning to make rapid progress under the judicious care of their teachers. The master reports that 70 or 80 boys and girls have left his own room alone since Christmas, nearly all of whom are now at work, earning from 2s. 6d. to 6s. a-week. Many of the boys, who are now in full employment, could not have suc ceeded in getting work had it not been for the use ful instruction they acquired at the school. With the view of encouraging habits of economy and frugality among the parents of the children, the committee, in the early part of last year, opened a penny bank in con nection with the school. The pence are received every Monday, and are marked on a card retained by each de positor. The whole sums paid during the year are re turned at Christmas, with interest proportionate to the amount. The committee report that the plan has been found to work well, and proved a blessing to many of the poor parents, who have gladly taken this oppor tunity of depositing small sums in the name of their children. The receipts for the year amount to about 2501., the expenditure to a few pounds beyond this ; but still leaving a balance in the hands of the Treasurer. Amongst the most liberal supporters of this school is Mr. Robert Hanbury, who appears as an annual sub scriber of 101. A few other gentlemen contribute in the like liberal way. THE MOORS.—PROSPECT OF THE EWING! SEASON. —The grouse in this district have not been more nume rous for many years, and most of them are now on the wing. It seems that among the Yorkshire hills the dry ness of the weather has exercised a prejudiaial influence, so that though the coveys are abundant, the number of th e prevalent alreadymost birds i n have strongs trustworthyquarter, on hardly birds in a b roo d i s generally below the average.

The houses are of four storeys, and tenanted ; No. 7 by Mr. Booth, stonemason, No. 8 by Mr. Dulap, but the effects of the lightning are not perceptible in the buildings, the indi cation of the passage of the fluid being only observable at a particular spot in the front gardens. Close to the iron gateways of both the above houses there appears a deep hole, which has und erm i ne d th e ra ili ngs, an d cause d t h e pathway of No. 8 to give way to the extent of some feet. The damage has been repaired by a temporary bridge. It is supposed that the lightning struck the iron railings, and, in making its way into the earth, ploughed up the soft mould in which the railings were embedded, thus causing the present extraordinary excavation. A MAN FOUND DEAD ON HAMPSTEAD-HEATH.-011 Thursday, about half-past 1 o'clock in the day, the body of a man was discovered on the west side of Hampstead heath, near to Child's-hill, quite dead. The body was found by Mr. Charles Warn, of Golden-yard, Hamp stead, and had then been dead apparently six or eight hours. It was immediately conveyed on a stretcher to the workhouse. On being searched, nothing could be found to identify in the least the name or occupation of the deceased. He appeared to have been a man between 40 and 50 years of age, stout, with dark hair and whiskers, and to have moved in a somewhat superior station of life, his hands showing no signs of labour. He had on a striped tweed coat and waistcoat, black trousers and hat, with maker's name "Andr6, 127, New Bond-street." On his person were two handkerchiefs, one silk and the other white cambric, the latter marked with the initials W. R. There was also a small knife, but no money or other valuable whatever. He did not appear to have been drinking. SWINDLERS IN THE WEST.—Several towns in the west have been visited within the last week by swindlers, who have succeeded in victimising respectable people to some extent. At Dawlish, in Devonshire, a well-dressed, middle-aged man, of gentlemanly appearance, took lodging s a t Mrs. Westcott's. He pretended to be very nervous about catching cold, and was extremely parti cular that the house should be secure, and so' on. A friend of his lodged at Mrs. Spencer's, and was of similar habits. One day the latter sent out and changed a 101. note, and on receiving the change went out to bathe. He never returned, however, to pay his lodgings, and shortly after he had left, the 101. note was found to be bad. The " fidgetty gentleman" at Mrs. Westcott's also decamped, having changed several flash notes, and suc ceeded in pa,ssing.a, good deal of counterfeit coin. At Taunton, in Somersetshire, a man about 30 years of ago and of genteel appearance, took respectable lodgings at Mrs. Dyer's. He had not been there long before he tendered what appeared to be a genuine 101. Bank of England note in payment for some trifling articles, and received back change in gold and silver. On Sunday morning he hired a horse and vehicle of the landlord of the Swan, to go for a drive ; but he never returned, and the note was found to be bail. The rascal succeeded in ob taining clothes from a tailor of the town, which he has not paid for. BALMORAL—We understand that the work of build ing the new mansion-house for the Queen and Prince Albert at Balmoral is now proceeding rapidly. The snows among the mountains kept back the operations till a. very late period of the season ; but, latterly, a large force, of men has been engaged by the builder, who is adding to their number. The, walls are now consider ably above the level of the ground, and the work will, no doubt, go on with celerity as the season advances. T. aE TEA TRADE.—The Customs authorities have issued a minute, with reference to the arrangements made) to meet the great pressure of business consequent on thee alterations of the Customs duties on tea, express ing eir approbation of the zeal and alacrity manifested by tilt) officers of the tea department, and all others who were employed during the extraordinary pressure of business upon the recent occasion, as through the exer tions 4 )f those parties, both early and late, far beyond the of :ual hours of attendance, the merchants and the trade have been enabled to avail themselves of the bene fits co nferred by the resolutions of the House of Com mons at the earliest possible period, and to an almost unpret :Wonted extent, FROG THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY.

WELLINGTON MEMORIAL—It is likely that India will subscribe much more than 10,0001. towards this fund. Already has the sum of 2,5001. been subscribed at Ma dras. Many weeks since the Bombay subscription amounted to 2,2001., and we lately mentioned that Bengal had contributed above 5,000/. We have not heard what has been done in the colonies, but we should think that Ceylon, the Mediterranean, and the Canadas would not be backward, and Australia ought to recol lect to whom she owes the state of universal peace, which has aided enterprise across the seas. We are happy to perceive that the militia are doing honour to the cloth by coming in with their subscriptions ; and we have rea son to believe that in the next list we shall have the pleas ure o f publishing a number of the gallant yeo manry corps w ill f i gure.
