The Slat (the King's) Light Infant r y, now i n Dublin, will shortly embark at Queenstown for Bombay. The service companies ofthe 76th Regiment, un der the command of Lieut.-Col. R. C. Lloyd, are shoitly expected to arrive at Queenstown from Nova. Sc Etta, and on arrival at Cork will proceed to the Curragh camp to join the Infantry Brigade. The whole of the officers and men of the 4th, 10th, 11th, and 21st companies of Royal Engineers, under orders to embark for India, were yesterday inspected on the parade-ground at Brompton bar racks, Chatham. The companies were drawn up in the Barrack-square under the command of their respe3tive officers, the strength of the whole force 500 men of all ranks. Nearly the whole of the men ordered to India have seen a great deal of service in all quarters of the globe, and a large number are decorated with the Crimean medal. The order for the 11th (Capt. C. E. Cumberland's) company to embark at Southampton and proceed overland to India has been cancelled, and it is understood that a portion of the Royal Engineers will be conveyed to India in the Chesapeake • 51, steam-frigate, Com modore Watson, now ready for sea at Portsmouth. The officer selected to command the Royal Engi neers in India is Lieut.-Col. H. D. Harness, com manding Royal Engineer at Malta ; Capt. F. E. Cox, attached to the Staff at Chatham, being ap pointed Adjutant. The Indian depots at the Provisional Battalion, Chatham, will be greatly strengthened on the Ist October by the arrival of five additional depots at that gArrison—viz., the sth Fusileers, 18th Royal Irish, 33d (Duke of Wellington's), 51st Light In fantry, and the 94th Regiment, for the purpose of being attached to the 3d battalion, which is to be formed under the command of Lieut.-Colonel C. Eiutitirst. Each of the three battalions at Chatham wilt eonsist of 10 depots, numbering 2,000 men of alt ranks, with a separate staff, but the selection of depots for each battalion has not yet been made. _The 3d battalion will occupy the huts at Prince Henry's bastion. The steam ship Great_ Britain, which has been fitted at Liverpool under the immediate superin tendence of her owners, will leave that port to morrow or Thursday for Cork, whence she will em bark about 1,100 of the Bth and 17th Cavalry for Bombay on or about the 28th of this month. Extensive preparations have been in progress for some weeks pact by the troops belonging to the Sappers and Miners at Chatham for blowing up the remaining portions of old Rochester-bridge, and, the whole of the arrangements having been com pleted the explosions will take place this day, on which occasion upwards of I,ooolb. weight of gun power will be used in destroying the arches of the bridge, which are to be blown to pieces. In order to fac litate the operations several shafts have been suuk to a great depth in the piers, communicating with which are galleries, in which the gunpowder was yesterday deposited. There are four charges of 2uulb. each and two of 1331 b. each, the whole of which will be fired simultaneously by means of the voltaic battery worked by Capt. Scott, Royal En cineers. General Sir John F. Burgoyne, G. C.B , Inspector-General of Fortifications, with several otlit-r distinguished office rs o f the Royal Engineers i will be present to witness the operations, which will e carried out under the direction of Col. H. Sand ham, Director of the Royal Engineers at Chatham. The working party of Sappers and Miners is under Mao direction of Captain W. H. Noble, Royal En-1 gineers, to whom the superintendence of the under taking has been confided. THE MILITIA. The Royal Lancashire Militia Artillery has been ordered to assemble at the Islington Barracks, Liverpool, on the sth proximo. The assembly of the Royal Wiltshire Militia is not postponed till ths 7th of October, but takes place on the original day named by the Lord-Lieu tulant—viz., the Ist October. The Oxfordshire Militia a,sembled at Oxford on Thurday, and as it took some little time to furnish them from the armoury with clothes and accoutre no reg ular drill took pla ce un til yes t er d ay morn inz. Upwards of 100 are wanted to complete the full number. THE .FRENCTI FOREIGN LEGION. In considering the formation of a Foreign Legion it may be interesting to t peruse the following sketch of the French Foreign Legion, held so highly in esteem by that nation "In 1815, immediately after the restoration, iiumb.lrs of Italians who had served under Napo leon found their way to France in order to enrol themselves into the French army. They were formed into a corps, the organisation of whi c h was entrusted to an officer named Holienlohe, from whom the corps took the name under which it served in the occupation of the Morea. "After the revolution of July 1830, this corps, which had become reduced in numbers, was by Louis Philippe incorporated in the French army as the 21st Regiment of Light Infantry (now the 9oth Regimgnt of the Line). "In 1831 it was thought) desirable to raise another foreign corps for the purpose of being sent do Algeria. It was composed of many battalions of various nations, among other there was a Belgian and likewise German and Italian battalions. This formation, however, was not found successful, and therefore from time to time as reinforcements of recruits arrived from France the various nations were gradually intermixed. Yet this was not thoroughly affected until 1839. It the engage ment of the Pont de la Machta, one of the battalions was cut to pieces by the enemy, owing, it is said, to a bad esprit which existed in one of the bat tilions; " In 1835 these troops were given over to Queen Christina of Spain, to fight against Don Carlos. They served under Generals Bernelli and Conrad, and after the death of the latter they were com manded by Colonel Ferrari, a Neapolitan, wh o h a d served many y ears i n the gipoleonian army. Dur ing this civil war in the Peninsula, they performed many gallant deeds, and it is very worthy of re mark, that during a period of 18 months, during Which they received neither pay nor rations, not the slightest perception of discontent prevailed. "In the year 1838 these foreign battalions, after having Buffered extremely, were reduced iu all to about 400 or 500 men ; these were ordered to cross the Pyrenees to Pau and Perpignan, where they thou became the nuclei for the formation of two regiments of three battalions each. On this new formation it was deemed advisable to entirely amalgamate the men of the different nations about to compose the force. Two-thirds at least of the offiaera were to be Frenchmen, a certain portion of the non-commissioned officers were,-on the- com mencement of the organiwion, likewise to be Frenchmen. The corps was again destined to servo in Algeria, where previously it had rendered suca great services, and in 1839 it proceeded there. It distinguished itself during the second expedition to Constantine at the storming of which place it behaved admirably. It was on this occasion that St. Arnaud was promoted to the rank of Captain, and was decorated, and remarked that he owed bot!i to the bravery of these foreign soldiers. This force took apart in nearly every engagement in the Algerian campaign. In 1849, at the storming of Znateha, its flank companies under the command t'f Meyer, a Swiss, singularly distinguished them e lvee in leading the forl-.rn•hopo. _ i _" 1 1 0. 1 1.852 the Ist regiment was praised, a 1 6 ,87 ' ,L,,,r2irder for it 4 very admirable conduc s at Kiss, under General Montauban. u e- Algeria, w h ere all public works and roads " 4 m ade br the t-cops, t h e E ugineers ' officers aleveye solicit working parti es f rom the Foreign leg on, On account of their winingue33 and dispo vsit,en. marshal Pelissier, when commanding in Al teria, placed more depende nce in the Forei gn Le ,gio teaniin any other troops under his command. :In IRA -the corps was sent to the Chines.

On Saturday the inquiry into the recent distur. bances at Belfast was resumed before the commis sioners, Messrs Lynch, Q.C., and Smythe, Q.C. There was a large attendance. Hugh Graham, a man about 50 years of age, ap peared befo!e the commissioners to state that he was grossly assaulted on the previous evening. He was working in High-street, and he left off at 7 o'clock in the evening, and came through Eglinton street into Donegal-street; four persons came be hind him whom he did not know, but if he saw them again might know them. They asked him to curse the Pope. To Mr. Smythe —I am a Catholic. To Mr. O'Rorke—l said the Pope was well enough prayed for, without them or me minding him. I was knocked down by one of them with a blow of a stick, and when I was down, they beat and kicked me. 1 was on the broad of my back • one of them said he would give me something th at would do me for a bit. The person who said this, then gave me a blow of a stick on the arm which I had put up to defend myself. _ _ _ [The witness, whose arm was bandaged, was about to take off the bandage and show the wound, but the commissioners said it was not necessary. Blood stains could be seen on the bandage.] I have been all my life in Belfast, and the lik• never was done to me before. To Mr. Lynch—l never was in Pound-street ex cept on an errand. To Mr. Faulkner—l told a constable I met that I had been beaten. I saw none to come to my as sistance. I never gave any offence to the protes tant party, or to any protestant here. lam not known as a party man, but I am a Catholic, and will never deny my religion. Mr. Purcell, barrister, who appeared for the Orangemen of Belfast, applied to the commissioners to permit the testimony of his clients to be reduced to writing in the form of a declaration, and verified before the commissioners as true. The Commissioners stated that a similar applica tion had been made to them by the other side, but they saw no reason to alter the course they had already pursued. Mr. Lynch also stated that it was no part of the object of their inquiry to bring punishment upon any individual They were there to ascertain the causes of the late disturbances. Mr. Faulkner objected to the court being turned into a police-office to hear cues of common assault like Graham's from day to day. Mr. Lynch said the case was within the scope of their inquiry. The Rev. W. Martin, one of the Catholic curates ,af Belfast, was then examined, but there was no thing important in his evidence. Mrs. Donohoe, a catholic, gave an account of the wrecking of her house on the 14th July. She never had a meeting in her house, and had given no offence that she knew of. _ . Mary Donohoe, daughter of the last witness, stated that she met a crowd of about 100 persons on the 16th July. They abused her, and went and wrecked the house of one Russel), a Presbyterian, who refused to joia them. On the 18th a dozen and a half of boys came up to her and threatened to blow out her brains if she did not curse the Pope. Other witnesses gave similar evidence. James Carolin, examined by Mr. Rea, stated—l am a Catholic. lam a c o m p os it o r, working in the Ulsterman office. I recollect returning from work on the morning of the 13th of July, at half-past five o'clock. I was at my own door, when I saw five or six town constables. I saw eighteen or twenty other men, who were erecting an arch of orange lilies ; this was in Stanley-street. The constables were standing with the men. They were using a ladder to erect the arch. I saw them five or ten minutes at it. The constables were there all that time. I was at a dis tance from them, and could not know them. On Tuesday evening shots were fired from a yard in Stanley -street into my house ; this was about eight. 1 saw a Sandy-row mob cheering, and shouting, and firing. A great number of shots were fired • on Saturday eveni ng I h ear d s h o t s fi re d on b o th sides. I know a vacant house. in Stanley-street. I saw fir ing from it on Sunday morning ; the firing was kept up from that house all the week. On Sunday I saw a gun presented from thehouse. Sergeant Hen derson and another policeman were present. He told us to come out of the road, as the man was lowering the gun to fire. On Tuesday evening a shot came into my house. It came through the window and smashed a picture on the opposite wall. The.ball was given toSergeant Henderson. Another ball caime in and want into the mattress on the bed. My sitter left the house. On Saturday evening I was afraid to go home from fear of being shot. The examination of this witness concluded the sitting. On Sunday Mr. Hanna made another attempt to preach in front of the Custom-house. Large crowds assembled, and the Mayor interposed. A slight disturbance followe'd, which was soon quelled, and the crowd became quite tranquil. 400 constabulary were patrolling in different districts. INTERESTING CASE OF TRANSFUSION.—This opera tion was on7cessfully performed on Wednesday last, by Mr. Wheatcroft, surgeon, of Cannock, on the person of a woman named Wood, residing there. Immediately after her Acconchement fearful haemorrhage .set in, draining the woman of blood. She felt herself dying, and summoned her husband to her bedside, to bid him " Good-bye," and earnestly requested him to take care of the children when she was no more. She then became pulseless and gasping, occasional breathing being the only indication of lite. A vein was opened is her arm, and one in the arm of her husband, and as the blood flowed from the latter it was transmitted by suitable apparatus into the veins of the wife. After 17 ounces had been thus izjected, the pulse became perceptible, the colousless lips reddened, the glassy eye brightened, and she thankttily said, "I am better." The case has progressed very favourably, andthe woman is recovering.

It is only too apparent that Lord Canning neither inspires nor possesses the confidence of the independent British community at Calcutta ; and it is quite certain that at home all the public knows about Lord Canning is, that he is the son of Mr. Canning. Of course no rational being will ever think of holding Lord Canning responsible for the mutiny of the Bengal Army, or for the events which have led to its revolt • and o ffi cial • people a t h ome will, in due season— that is, when the time for in quiry comes—preach the comfortable doctrine that nobody is to blame either for the occurrence itself or for the total absence of all prescience as to the real state of the Native Troops. But with this entire want of confidence in Lord Canning at Calcutta, where something is known of him, and with this ignorance of Lord Canning at home, where something at least ought to be known of a Governor-General of India—with the facts staring us iu the face that on the first appearance of insubordination in the Bengal army, Lord Can ning did not view the symptoms of disaffection as very serious ; that after the first symptoms of dis order were over, he wrote home that all cause for alarm had passed away ; that he refused Jung Bahadoor's offer of considerable reinforcements, by the acceptance of which dan ger m i g ht a t once have been removed from Lucknow ; that the mutiny and destruction of property at Divaparo are attributed, by, a press he has the power to suspend, to his not having complied with the requisition sent him for additional troops from that station ; that the merchants and traders of Calcutta, though in num bets a mere handful, are providing for their own safety, and have, for making this provision to assist themselves, been rebuked and snubbed by Lord Canning ; considering all these things, the question will force itself into men's mouths-4s Lord Can ning the man for this emergency ? When the , tenure of Lord Dalhousie's Govern ment drew to a close, and a successor was to be appointed, the public did not turn to Lord Canning and express any spontaneous opinion of his fitness fur the appointment. On the contrary, so far as public opinion was concerned, it would have pre ferred Lord Elgin as Governor-General of India ; and there is, we believe, no doubt that the Court of Directors of the East India Company would have gladly concurred in this preference. Now we do not begin by saying that the public feeling in this case was right, but at all events it was reasonable, for Lord Elgin was known to have been successful in two very difficult governments. He bad• had large success in dealing with the embarrassed, cross grained, and dissatisfied planters of Janatt;ca, and the prosperous and fickle black population of that island. In Canada and British North America be had exhibited even superior qualities. He there skilfully steered a great province of freemen through the rocks and shoals of their own political passions ; rooted out in a great measure the last troubles of a rebellion which nearly lost us that colony ; assisted in restoring it to a state of un paralleled loyalty ; enabled the Home Government greatly to reduce its military expenditure, by the introduction of a scheme of local self-defence ; and, by the Treaty of Washington, laid the basis of au enormous commerce with the United States, which gives British North America all the advantages of its territorial connexion with that republic, and removes all stimulus or mot i ve to political annexation. These services—and they were great services— did not prove that Lord Elgin was in all respects the fittest man in the Empire for the Governor- General of India—that we quite admit. Nor do we assert that he was, or is, the fittest man. For the duties of a Governor-General of a dependent Empire are very different, it is obvious, from those of either a great productive and tropical Island, where the bulk of the population consists of eman cipated negroes, or a large territorial colony grow ing into an independent State. But in these two responsible employments Lord Elgin did exhibit the rare faculty of successfully dealing with men of various and even opposite tendencies, characters, and capacities, and did show a coolness, a sagacity, and a self-reliance invaluable in the rulers of trans marine possessions of the British Crown. His were services which could not be passed over by the Queen's Government ; and they werenot passed. over. Two distant governments were at their dis posal about the same time. Both iu pecuniary value were great, and both were of large though of very different political mportance. They were the government of the Australian Colony of Victoria, worth 15,0001. a-year, and the Supreme Governor ship of India, worth 25,0001. a-year. The former government was offered to Lord Elgin, and as vie think was very naturally declined by him ; for though the salary was much larger then he had en joyed in Canada, the position was in. rank an in ferior one, the colony, though it had its political importance and its difficulties, containing only about on&tenth of the population confided to Lord Elgin's charge in Canada—in short, such a govern ment was a step backward, not forward ; and able and ambitious men do not like, except under circumstances of necessity and where renown is to be acquired, to retrograde in official rank. Lord Elgin refused Victoria, which could hardly have been proposed in serious expectation of his accept ing it ; and, the offer over, Lord Canning was appointed Governor-General of India, a position which it is notorious Lord Elgin would only.have been too happy to have accepted, and which the public would have applauded his appointment to a 3 a substantial reward for proved merit. Noir who was Lord Canning, that he should thus have successfully competed with Lcrd Elgin for the highest prize and the most responsible situation under the British Crown ? Lord Aberdeen will tell us, as he used to tell the foreign ministeis, that as Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs Lord Canning was a most useful assistant, and a very likely man to rise in the world. Mr. Rowland Hill will tell us, and we believe with very great truth—for we are not depreciating Lord Cauning— that he was .by far the best Postmaster-General he has ever known. During the debatts on the last Charter -Act, Lord Canning got up the case of India for the Government of that day in the Lords, and exhibited about the same amount of cram knowledge of the subject, with much less tediousness, in that assembly as the equally!aborious Sir Charles Wood did in the House of Ceininons. And in the discus sion of the Oxford University Reform Bill Lord Canning played the part—longo intervallo--which was Mr. Gladstone's original character in the Lower House of Parliament., All this is very true, but not very important or enc.nragieg. Moreover, Lord Canning, by Lord Aberdeen's desire, refused the offer which Lord Derby made him to enter the cabinet which Lord Darby never formed, and ac cepted the offer Lord Palmerston made him to con tinue in his cabinet. When we have added that Lord Palmerston was his father's fillower and friend, that Mr. Canning saw Lord Palmerston's merits much better than either Lord Liverpool or the Duke of Wellington, that Lord Palmerston is supposed to be grateful for this prescience, and that this gratitude is believed to be very much at the bottom of his appointment, we have, we think, told prettyfairly the story of Lord Canning's political life before he went to India. Now what did it amount tog To the creditable fulfill:tient of the minor opporttinites it was Lord Canning's goe d fortune to enjoy, "but to nothing more. Lord Canning had never shown publicly any high qualities. He had not his father's eloquence— on the contrary, he had ap. impediment in his speech. He had not his father's courage, mottle, or vigour—. on the contrary, he was passive, submissive, re i.erved, and timid. He had nut his father's noble ambition—on the contrary, ho was content to al - his fortunes by follo wing great men irrespec tive of their political views. He had not his father's experience of the world, or his habits of self reli ance, or his knowledge of human nature, still less power of seeing coming events from a distance, or realising the final results of a great policy ; o n th e contrary, Lord Canning was simply awe-educated w e:1- behaved, and useful subordinate ; such as his father and most other great men never were. And he was chosen as Governor-General of India, not because he had either special knowledge or spe cial fitness, but because he was the fortunate young man of the Palmerston Cabinet, because India WAS deeMed to be in ae exceedingly tranquil con dition, because the Government at home wanted a man in India imbued with their own notions— though what they are Heaven only knows I—be cause Load Canning was not licit, and because Governors-General usually bring fortueet home, and some obtain pensions of 5,000/. a year for deeds which, ere they are settled do ,n at home, have as sated to shake the empire to its foundations. We are not adopting or unduly exalting Lord Elgin, in Paying that a companion of his cinalifisa tio is with thc:ee of Lord Canning were . I! in Lord E gin's favour. What we deiire" to p int out is that in this modern system, which requires either a Governor-General to be taken, as Lord Au.:lland, Lord Ellenboroegh, Lord Hardinge, Lord Dal housir, and Lord Cenning were, from the Caleinst of the day, or, as others have been, from the friends of the M nister, the country has no security wha'- ever for getting the best and fittest man, and that the chances are that friendship and intimacy, whe ther political or private, will preveil against com petency and experience. Had - the Government at all anticipated such a re volt, Le rd Canning would never have been sent to India. There was apparently serious work to be done in China, and then Lord Elgin was called in. But in India the rule ought to have been, not con fidence in our position, not a belief that it was safe to send a mediocre person ; but mistrust and a dis- credit that any man, however wise, able, or expe rienced, could really fathom our situation there. As it is, Lord Canning is placed in a position for which those nearest to him hold him to be unequal, and fer which there is nothing, either in his antecedents or his acts, that can inspire confidence in those at a distance. TEE INDIAN CRISIS. (From the Morning Herald. ) When will the English people be thoroughly aroused to a sense of the gravity of the present crisis in India ? Will they permit themselves to be beguiled by those who invariably bolster up weak cabinets and incapable officials until the evils pro duced by their lamentable want of energy and fore sight proclaim their presence in still more widely extending calamities ? The identical course pur sued during the fearful contest in the Crimea has been adopted with reference to the Indian mutiny. Then, as now, the Times defended the measures of our rulers, declared that everything had been done in the best manner, and ridiculed those who tit tered sagacious warnings ; until the terrible fact of their mismanagement became evident to all, and the nation, in loud tones of indignation ' condemned their wretched betrayal of duty. When further deception had become impossible this variabk organ sought to occupy a foremost position on, the popular side, and denounced the Aberdeen Cabi net as eloquently as it had before heaped praises upon their policy. The coincidence between its condtict during that crisis and the present one is remarkable. On the 16th of July, nearly ten weeks ago, we wrote, " Why is not every avail able man sent out immediately —not in slow sailing transports, but in the fastest steamers we possess ? A thousand soldiera would now bo of more real service than five times their number a year hence. Must we always do these things by halves, and can we only gain experience from disas ter ?" At the time those lines were written Ministers derided the idea that the mutiny was a national movement, or that it could possess' ex tensive ramifications. In that view they were strongly supported by the Times, and both con tended that a small reinforcement was sufficient for the emergency. By acting upon this short-sighted policy our supremacy in India has been so rudely assailed that it, becomes a question whether we shall not be compelled to adopt measures to re conquer the whole country. Everybody perceives that Ministers were wrong, and that those who advocated energetic measures were right, and, true to its usual course the Times seizes the first oppor tunity of turning with the tide. After all this heAtation, this contumely, this fatal delay, it affects to believe that energy is required, and to the astonishment of those who watched its motions narrowly, in direct contradiction to all its arguments and assertions for the last three months, it yesterday declared,—"The struggle in. India resolves itself with terrible simplicity into a single question—that of time ; of time measured net by years or seasons, but by weeks, or even days. Can our countrymen hold out till succours reach them against the raging fiends around f' This is the langusge of truth ; but, like many other good things, it comes too late. Era any effects it might produce can begin to opeirate the battle will have been lost or won. It is not the fifty or hundred Thousand men that may be levied for the re-conquest of India, that - can turn the scale at this moment. Three or four thousand comba tants sent out with all possible dispatch, when the news of mutiny het reached our shores, was the kind of aid imperatively demanded by the emer gency. Such a reinforcement would have enabled our weakened garrisons to hold out against the das tardly rebels—heve strengthened Havelock's gal lant column, averred many heart-rending massacres, restored contideme iu the chief cities of the three presidencies, and above all, manifested the vigilance of the Government, and Flown that En'gland's spirit was thoroughly aroused. This ought to have been done when Lord Granville was startling the House of lords ly declaring, with a complacency that sounded like a death-knell on the ears of those who bad relatives or friends in India, the Govern ment " will not give way to unfounded apprehen sions of any great calamity or disaster." Mora energy, foresight, and determination at the right moment, would have proved our salvat'on, and by the last aecounts it actually appears that certain native regiments have mutinied because of the apathy and tie negligence displayed by the home Government They hardly believed it pos sible that our rulers could lull themselves into false security in the presence of such peril ; once con vinced of the fact, they made common cause with their treaeherous omrades, believing that the hour for the extinction of British rule in India had ar rived. At this juncture we are enabled to judge of the effect produced upon the population of India, both European and native by the unpardonable negli gence of the Govertkient. Despair his seized upon the former, whilst tke latter look for ward to a trium phant issue to their base designs. All the Bengal native troops are disbanded ; the flame of rebellion has spread to the Bombay Presidency, and the con dition of Madras is not felt to be very secure. Our smell army before Delhi is besieged, and totally unable to -act upon the offensive. The whole of Behar is in the possession of the insurgents. Com munications with Benares are cut off, and it be c,lnes a question wiether rainforcementscan by any possibilityreach Gen. Havelock, in case men should be found for the arduous undertaking. Every-, where the want of proper forces and material is felt, and there is not a quarter of our immense In dian territories in which proofs may not be found of the utter folly and incapacity of those in autho rity. They have prepared neither for warfare nor defence ; and though our gallant troops display more than their wonted heroism they are in all parti outnumbered, and even victory fails to secure its reward. ONE TYING AT A TIME. There is a class of busy men who will do any thing, and with industry and zeal, except the matter in hand, de busiuess which stands first in order of time arse.. importance. . For these men, although divines sod churchmen .are often of the number, Solomon !las in vain written that "there i 3 a time for all things under the sun." They will not have it as. eWngrheenong the mind egreataffai o r f , one e overwhelming anxiety, is tasking a ll th e energies of Governm e nt, aid engrossing nb!ic, these 'men aro for doing something else, and pressing other subjects and other under* takings, for which the season is not yet come, and for which nobody las- any stomach but themselves. We have a strikiig instance of this mischievous activity in the untimely zeal for Indian missions, of which we are sorry to perceive symptoms her e and there through the country, at the most inop portune moment fir such exertions that indiscre tion could select. We are engaged in the sup pression of the mist formidable revolt that ever placel an empire :n peril, a revolt raging over a distant and vast coitinent, and accompanied with crimes and horrors that make it not less our duty to elms ise the rotes than to crush the rebellion ; and with this work upon our hands, this double ork of conquest and punishment, we are, it seems, to charge ourselves with the addi tional burthen of poaching to, and converting the' insurgents. .A moment like this is thought a fit arid decent opportunity for giving an impulse to missionary labours, .arid even for raising funds to encourage and support them. We rely upon the common sense of the country to discountenance a zsa,l so ill-timed as this, even in a cause 60 in trinsically good am:laudable. The season will come for employing the mission tries of religion, when our soldiers, the missionaries of our justice, as well as the defenders cf our empire, have acquitted themselves of their prior function+. There is no greater mistake, or One more prolific of bitt©r fruits, than that ire() which many pious men are apt to fall, to think that vhat is abstractedly right to b 3 done, and a duty is do, it is therefore incumbent upon them to do atall times, and under all varieties of circumstances. This is the mistake that Mr. Hanna has fallen into with such lamentable con s opencss in Belfast ; but a thoasand times more mischievous would be its repetition here in England at a crisis like the preseut, when per haps the very existence of our empire in India may require the concentration on its defence of cvery thought and faculty, energy and resource of the nation, wiihout the slightest distraction of purpose or relaxation cf effort. On su re grounds of humanity, however, we enter our protest against a second subscription, which cannot but interfere most unjustifiably with that which the yesrnings of public sympathy have already or ganised for toe relief of our suff.eing co n.ri 111'n in India. Here, again, are two works that tannest go on together; the public will not cep t•ibute to two Indian funds at the same time. Which, then, is to have precedanco ? Even among works of charity these mu t be subsidinatisn of claims. " And in this instance can anyseigh t-miuded man, have a doubt which ought to be postponed to the other ? For our part, at least, IVO have none. We think our martyrs have the that claim on our compassion. The conversion . of Nana Sahib to Christianity would unquestionably be a glori ous work, though it would not prevent 113 from also hanging him ; but we submit that our first concern is for the wretched survivors, alas too few, of Indian outrage and brutality ; and we have - too much confidence in the Christian in tincts of Englishmen to think that from thss opinions there can be many dissenters in the country. A WEST-END MILLINER'S BILL. ...... '' . . , 14 y........•......... In the course of the proceedings in the bankruptcy of Co!. Waugh, a proof was tendered by Mr. Linkiater on behalf of Miss Jane Clarke, of 170, Regestt-street, for 1,8541., the balance of a millinery account. To render this claim fully intelligible to the general reader, it must be stated that in' July, 1850, the bankrupt carried Mrs. Carew.

Sandhurst is a Babel of a city compared to Castle tuaine ; it has a population of 14,520, having doubled its numbers since 1854. The local journals of this place give notice, among other matters, that " parties requiring fat cattle in mobs from five to one hundred at any time can"bave Ohm on, application" to the parties named. Thire-wodd appear, therefore, to be no scarcity of ani mal food. " Lovers of a good glass of ale" are requested to patronise the Royal Hotel L the Noah's Ark yard of stables offer to "'livery a horso for 12a. a night and to gi se him a bait for 3,. 61." It will not excite surprise to learn that the fares by the Telegraph line of coaches are somewhat. high in consequence of the great price of forage ; the 'fare to Melbourne will be 5/. sa. on and after the sth of May, but after the 12th of June it will be altered to 61. ; fares to other places are to be altered in proportion. Then the fashions are much sought after in Sandhurst. There are several "prac tical *hair-cutting saloons," in onroof which Professor Sands shaves for 6d., cuts hair for la., and does the shampooing for 24. Medical ativrtisements are numerour. One d..ictor " announces his return to the colony ;" another has " a constant supply of healthy leech e s." Dentistry, vaccination, and rheumatism have each their specifics ; and the quack m e di c i nes of the old country appear to be extensively patronised. The amusements of the place are varied. "The 8/st anniver sary of the declaration of American Independence" is to he celebrated by a salect ball and supper at the Franklin Hotel, Sail Ws Gully ; tickets one guinea each. "The Sydenham Gardens are now open for the summer season admission , free." There is a grand ball and supper at tim Cape Clear Hotel, tickets 10'. 61., and as an attrac tion, it is stated that the 4.h of June will be a "moot.. light night." On the same clay there is a v.rand quadrille assembly at the British and American Hotel, also "fine moonlight night." By way of variety, "a grand demon stration of the minera in and around Bendigo is fixed at the Criterion Theatre, price of a reissiin optional." Mrs. Brougham announces 'her complimentary benefit, on which occasioa the Criterion Theatre will be thrown open to her patroLs—the diggers, and tho price of admission left perfectly optional. " Macbeth" will be performed in all its integrity by the nr)st powerful com pany in the colony, and the entertainments will con clade with the Spider Dance' and a favourite farce." The arrangement is made, it is state. , l, "in compliance with the oft-repeated expression of service by numerous digger-patrons." Than we have, in the same joymal, an advertisement of a "grand soiree musicale et clansante," in aid of the Library Fun f. A. , cl t) the e a " grant Bendigonian Gift Enterpr . se,"in, which Mrs. Broogbain will give away 3001 to her patrons by a drawing which is to take place on the stage ( f the theatre ; a Bendigo art union ; a lhadrille assembly every evening at the " Rid-in-Eland," and we shall have exhausted nearly all the amusements of Sandhurst.—Austra/iart and New Zealand Gazette.

WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. This club contested on Saturday last, 19th inst., a pair-oared race in outrigged giga,•with coxswains, for silver tankards, the course being from Putney to the Old.-bridge, Battersea. The following craws statted—llest.rs. H. Nicholetts and Captain G. Chadwin—G. Mann, cox. (Green) ; E. M'Manus and R.I. Tyler—W. A. Tyler, cox. (White) ; T. M. Morriss and P. R. Morriss—W. E. Bennett, cox. (Red) ; E. G. Hartley and E. Mann—John Tyler, jun., cox. (Blue). Mr.. F. E. Needham acted as umpire. On starting Green slightly took the lead, closely followed by White ; but, notwith standing the energies of both Blue and Red, kept it fill within a hundred yards of the goal, when White by a tremendous spurt lessened the distance between them to about a boat and a-half. Green, nevertheless, won by nearly two boats' length. When near the Feathers, Wands worth, the stretcher of Red gave way, Blue then passed them, and a good race ensued between the two, which resulted in Red coming in third by a boat's length. GREAT BOAT RACE. The great boat race between Robert Chambers, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Alfred Ralph, of Wandsworth, for 2001., took place yesterday. Ihe celebrity the first-named had acquired in his many gallant conflicts in the north, and the fine and close race between him and his present opponent Ralphl at the last Thames regatta, had rendered this a most interesting event in aquatic circles, and large sums of money had been speculated on the event. At first, the betting was only slightly in favour of Chambers, but after he had had a few trials over the course, his friends became so sanguine of his success that the odds increased to 6 and 7 to 4, and at last to 2to 1. There were never two men more evenly pitted against each other in point of weight and age. They both rowed at about 11 stone, and are fine athletic men, 26 years old. The distance was from Putney to Mortlake, and several steamers were crowded to witness the race, besides which there was a vast multitude on shore. At 4 o'clock the men made their appearance in very flue light out-riggers, and divested of every superfluous article of clothing. They both looked very confi dent, and were in first-rate condition. Ralph, having won the toss for choice of station, took ►he Middlesex side, and all preliminaries having been arranged, the competitors started. They both got away at the same inAtant, and were literally scull and scull to Messrs. Searle's, and then for a mo ment, by dint of very extraordinary labour, Ralph's boat showed just in• front, but he was unequal to the continuance of exertion necessary to keep :it there, while the steady, long, and machine-like stroke of his opponent seemed incompetent of abate ment in power, and he consequently drew oval' from his opponent, at first slowly, but as the latter declined, with more rapidity. Ralph most assuredlY rowed desperately to retrieve the fortune of the day, but his opponent, after the first half-mile, never gave him the shadow of a chance. Chambers, after again and again easing, won by half-a-dozen lengths, completing the distance in 24k minutes• Mr. Casamajor, the gentleman champion of the Thames, was referee. Country Markets.
