The opponeoti of the Di vorce an d M a t r i mon i al Causes Bill seem resolved to prevent the passing of the measure by any meats in their power. There was a manifest determination last night to obstruct its progress, lay no means creditable to the parties concerned. A very decided r ea • • ptlty---63, when 3 17 Members were present, rejected the adjourn ment of the debate, but this motion was ren ewe d in a different form, and the Government wer ,,, yield. It is sur e ly t i me eventually convened to that a decisive majority should be protected against the machinations of a tyrant minority. The forms of the House may occasionally be very properly resorted to where it is at tempted to obtain by surprise the Legislative sanc tion to a measure opposed to the general feeling of the country. Bat such was not the case with respect to the Divorce Bill. E had been carried through the Upper House by unequivocal mak ritics, It ha I been fully discussed iu all its details, and every possible opportunity was taken to defeat the measure. But all in vain. The principle triumphed, and it was sent down to the Commons after every point had been completely considered and decided on. In the Commons there was last night an unusually large attendance for so advanced a period of the session. As we have stated, no less than 317 members were present, and we may asiume that 190 of their number were with the Government. After the clear and unanswerable argument of the Attorney-General, it was not deemed necessary for any honourable gentleman to speak in its favour. Opponent after opponent was patiently listened to, but nothing was brought forward but the old hackneyed topics, which re quired no answer. Therefore a division might fairly be anticipated and pressed for. But that was presented by what might, by some persons, bo deemed factious oppo sltion ; and, consequently, much valuable time was lost to the House and to the country. We cannot conceive that the government will surrender under such circumstances, and the only result will be the prolongation of the Session, probably into September. The matter really lies in a nutshell. It is, as the ATTORNEY-GENVIAL clearly explained, merely to extend what has long been considered the re cognised law on the subject—to render the remedy which has been invariably granted to aggrieved husbands cheaper and more expe ditious than under the existing system—to give to the party who had a few hundreds to spare the same relief that could only be obtained by the fortunate possessor of some thousands. It is neither more nor less than the creation of an un exceptionable tribunal to decide cases that have hitherto been disposed of by means of private bills. Exceptional legislation is always objection able. It is in every instance a protest against the existing law of the land. If every grievance should have a suitable remedy, what can be thought of a class of wrongs which cannot be altogether abrogated, but for which each sufferer must obtain a specific law ? We cannot conceive anything more opposed to public policy, and all the principles of equal justice. We have long since explained our views on the subject. We have shown that the present system practically amounts to this, that there shall be one law for the rich, and another for the poor ! And, therefore, the bill under notice, miserably defective as it is in many particulars, is still one that ought to be carried. But, as we have stated, it is but an instalment, and by no means a large one, of justice. Much more is required before it can be placed on a sa tisfactory foundation. But we accept it as " the introduction of the sharp end of the wedge" which will eventually lead to justice to women, and the establishment of a system of complete and perfect reciprocity. There may be a few hard cases first ; some innocent victims whose unmerited sufferings will excite universal sympathy. But it is easier to alter than to completely overturn the existing law, and therefore we hail the present bill as a valuable instalment, that may eventually be made really beneficial to the community. We have no doubt that the Government will not suffer themselves to be foiled, but that they will press on the matter vigorously so as to ensure its pagsing during the present session. Lord NAAS is entitled to great credit for the straightforward and unflinching manner in which he proceeded with the Superannuation Act Amend ment Bill. Had he displayed the slightest symp tom of vacillation or yielding, the measure would have been shelved for the present session, and perhaps permanently lost. For, be it remem bered, it could not be read a second time in the Lords after the 7th of August, in consequence of the resolution adopted on Tuesday last. The Government—that is to say, Lord PALMERSTON— yieIded gracefully to the clearly expressed opinion of the House. We cannot, however, say sa much for Sir G. C. LEWIS, who strove to get rid of the measure by a side wind, suggesting its postpone ment, although well knowing that such postpone ment would be tantamount to its withdrawal, or rather its being shelved for the present session. The Premier, however, exhibited perfect good faith, and, thanks to Lords NAAS and PALMER STON, there is now every prospect that the swindle will be forthwith abolished, and that the injured civil servants will, if they do not receive compensltion for the pas', be no longer subjected to unjustifiable deductions from their hardly-earned salaries for the future. The bill has now passed through committee, and one more struggle will insure its success. We heartily congratulate those who have been so long aggrieved at the auspicious prospect now before them, and also on having secured the ser vices of so faithful and efficient an advocate as Viscount NAAslwho has immeasurably advanced his Parliamentary reputation by bis conduct on the occasion. The conjectures of the Morning Post, to which we gave insertion yesterday, as to the ions et origo mali of the Indian mutinies, receive con siderable support from a letter addressed to Sir MORTON PETO, the Treasurer of the Baptist Mis sionary Society, which was published on Wednes day in the ably conducted organ of that Denomi nation—The Freeman. The Baptists are well known to all interested in Indian affairs as the first denomination to send missionaries to our great colony ; indeed, they were sent thither when- the East India Company refused to allow pLeaching to the natives, and they were compelled ti establish themselves on the small Danish settle ment and Island of Serampore, where they erected a college, and where they have, we believe, ever since, stood at the head of literary enterprise in India ; hence, they have always had there a con siderable number of learned natives speaking moat of the languages of India, and must have some peculiar and important sources of information. In the letter referred to, the writer, whom the Editor of the Freeman speaks of as one of the most int€lligent of their Missionaries, states that the Missionaries, we presume, of all societies, had just held a Conference, in which, of course, they regarded the outbreak, from their own pint of view, as a religious one, and conneeed with intense hatred of Christianity, coupled with a per fectly groundless idea on the part of the Sepoys, that the Government intended to make Christians of them. But the writer of the letter is not merely a Missionary, he looks around for the real cause of the mutiny, and his account is worthy the attention even of British senators. He says : " But, it will be asked, What is the true cause of this, so general an alienation ? The true cause is a political one, without doubt. As yet iti real authors are not known, but that there is a con spiracy somewhere to upset the British power is now manifest to most. In se e ki ng t o accomp li s h t heirwicked p urpose t h ey h ave most dexterously seize 1 or,a rreligio us oys, who are fo rel igiouseet the Se ious motive, than which none was a.) likely to affect r the most part high caste men, or Mahommed ans ." He goes on to alio may have beco me ceedings of Missi onar i es "There cannot be a doubt that show how l their religious prejudices ural y awakened by th e pro and the G overnmen t . i for some time past a n imp! es,ion has been widely spread that Christianity will supplant Hinduism. T he labours of missionarit.z have laid the foundation for this irapreF,si , m, wad so far we LaarpleaA guilty to the. c hugs now be,gililliDg to be regunitated agaiwg, us. But more than thee, IT far, is the effect of the college education now so widely given, to gether with the recent grants in aid by Govern ment, and the enactment of laws permitting tilt re-marriage of widows, and the suppression of polygamy. It is no unusual thing with thenativ€s now to call the college alumni Christians—that is despisers of caste and eaters of all polluted things, for such the youth of Calcutta have become. Now this is the only idea of Christianity which the mass of the people have got, and as the Government patronise these colleges, sic., the people imagine that their object is to destroy caste. This is, then, the instrument which the conspirators have wrought with so effectually." The conspirators have proceeded with consum mate skill, the skill of Asiatic cunning, disciplined by European knowledge ; precisely that which is taught and acquired so perfectly in the semi- Asiatic capitals of the CZAR. The Bengal sepoys, through having been petted, in all their unmilitary superstitions, to an extent which made thorough discipline almost impracticable, and from the mis sionaries beingprevented from preaching to them as to other Hindoos, are actually farbehind the general population in knowledge and liberal sentiment. They are an army of Hindoo Puseyites—Puseyites of Idolatry and Brahnsinism. They tremble for the fall of superstitions, which must fall, if the mere elements of modern science are but taught in the schools of India. Observe, then, the cunning of laying hold of this class, at once the most sus ceptible, and the most potent for mischief. Let the reader also specially note the cunning dis played in the translation of, the word " grease" in the cartridge business. The writer of the letter observes— " The Sepoys, as a class, are highly superstitious and at the same time profoundly ignorant, and so they have easily become their dupes. Some three or four mouths since, the Government issued orders for the use of a new kind of cartridge adapted to the English rifle. This cartridge it is neslessary to grease. It happened, unfortunately, that proper care was not taken in th 6 transl stion of the term grease,' and the translator used a word signifying the fat of an animal (chorbhi), and this was laid hold of to represent to the Sepoys that the Govern ment was about to defile them with bullock's suet, than which nothing can be more hateful to a Hindw, and the idea has taken so firm a hold that it has been impossible to eradicate it. For the Mahommedans it was said the word meant hog's lard, and so, with wondrous dexterity, it was made to serve both parties ! l My full im pression is that, whoever the conspirators may be, it has formed a part of their plan to send emissaries to all the regiments, probably as recruits, who would 1-e unsuspected, and these have wrought first upon the native officers and then upon the men gene rally. It is well known, however, that for the last three months an extensive c nrespondence has besn going on between the Sepoy regiments from Cal cutta to Lahore, some of which has been seized." Then the time selected marks the hands of con. spirators : " But it is time for me to put you in possession of the sentiments of the best informed on the pre sent crisis and matters connected with if. I speak, at least, the opinions of the Calcutta Mission Con f-rence, among whom are laymen possessing the best information. First, then, it is felt that the conspirators have arranged admirably as to time, for never have we been so unprepared for such an outbreak as at the present time. We had three European regiments fewer than before the annexation of Pegu and Oude ! The writer proceeds to observe and to comment honestly on the mischievous policy of stripping the army of half its officers, leaving the remaining half mere lads. He notices the selfish motives of the Company in doing this, and speaks with decision, but without bitterness, on theldisregard of fitness, and the unworthy regard to other con siderations in nominating to high office. He in stances the appointments of General ANsoN to the Command-in-Chief of India, and of General ISHisIIRNITAM in China, and describes the popu!ar feeling as having been very strong against General ANSON. It seems likely, indeed, that the horrid atrocities at Meerut are chiefly due to that evil system of promotion to which we owed so many Crimean disasters. The letter tells us that " The system also in vogue as to the command of stations is universally repudiated. It goes by seniority, without reference to ability. Hence the brigadiers are old men, some very old, with phy sical and mental power far on the wane. The brigadier at Meerut is a very old man, and in capable. When he imprisoned the 90 mutineers in the common jail, he had no idea of the danger he invoked, and therefore left the jail in its ordinary protection, a few native policemen ; and, in the evening, when the mutiny broke out, he was so paralysed with fear, that, for two hours, white the infuriated soldiers were killing their officers, &c., and burning their houses, he did nothing, gave no orders, and so let the Sopoys get off unpunished. He hld with him the lirgest force (European) found at any station in this part of India. All this is ascribed to the system in vogue." The hat sentences of the letter are well worthy of general attention, we need not add to them comments of our own. "If India is to be retained by Britain, there must be very great changes in the system of govern ment and its administration. This revolt will convulse Britain with surprise and alarm. It will not be unreasonable ; the danger has been great, and still is. Ido hope that the Parliament will do the subject justice, and the nation generally be aroused properly on the matter. The Company's Government must be abolished, unless it grant the reform needed. Will that be soon granted ? Will the Court of Directors oppose all reform, and look with displeasure upon everything that does not emanate from themselves ? Hitherto the people have not joined the sepoys, but I am sure their sympathies are with them. Even the Calcutta natives, who have most to bind them to the Go vernment, "sympathise strongly with the revolt. Depend upon it there is much discontent among all classes, and there is abund an t reason f or i t. More this time is wanted. More English troops— fewer natives. The suspension of Government educational projects. Change in the zemindari system, and radical changes in the administration of the laws. Tried men for high positions, and the diligent promotion of evangelization. No yielding to caste prejudices." THE DEATH OF PRINCE CEIABLES BONAP.ABTE. Prince Charles Bonaparte, Prince of Canino, eldest son of Prince Lucien, brother of the first Napoleon, died yesterday at his residence in the Rue de Lille, in Paris, at the age of 54, having been born in 1803. He had married the Princess Zenaide, only daughter of Joseph Bonaparte, King of Spain. The deceased Prince has been a widower since 1854. Be leaves eight children, of whom the eldest, Prince Joseph Lucien Charles Bonaparte, serves in the army, and the second, Prince Lucien Louis Joseph, has embraced the clerical profession. He is one of the Pope's Chamberlains, and is ex pected to be soon promoted to the purple. The de ceased Prince Charles was attended by his children on his death-bed, and received the sacraments of the Church from the hands of the cure of his parish. The news of his death, caused by dropsy of the chest, from which he has long suffered, was at once sent by telegraph to the Em peror at the camp of Chalons-sur-Marne. M. Fould, Minister of the Imperial Household, was present at the last moments of the Prince, and, in the absence of the Emperor, caused seals to be placed on all his papers and personal effects. The Prince of Canino was a distinguished savant. H e was corresponding member of most of the learned academies of Europe and America, and his works on natural history, and particularly ornithology, ax e spoken of as some of the most valuable contribu tions to science. M. Ch. Dien has announced the discovery of another comet, in the early part of the present week, in the con stellation Cameleopard. A meeting of the Netherlands Land Enclosure Com pany took place yesterday, Mr. Charles Morrison in the chair, when the report of the directors was unanimously adopted. DEATH OF M. 111131 ANN.—M. Hamann, former Minister of Friona to the Court of Cassel, and son of the finance minister of that name in the time of Louis Philippe, has just died from apoplexy at Bareges. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAM—QUEENSTOWN, Thurs day.—The Agamemnon arrived this morning. The paying-out experiments between Dover and Queenstown have been perfectly successful. It is hoped the expo:li .tiOn will sail for Valehtia, late O keatArdaY• THE SUN, LONFON, FIRIDAY EVENING JULY 31, 1857. LATEST NEWs, A telegraphic despatch received yesterday at Trieste from ConstAntinople says a note signed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffo and M. Thouvenel demands-1. That the Porte shall decree the banishment of the judges who condemned the Jew lately executed at Tunis. 2. That the tanzimat shall be proclaimed at Tunis. 3. That an indem nity shall be granted to the family of the victim. It also announces that Mr. Murray had consented to make his entry into Teheran without being at• tended by a large military escort. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says : " The news which has reached Paris from India appears to correspond with that you have pub lished in London in its main features. The French Government is not in possession of any details beyond those brought by the telegraph as to the state of India, but previous despatches speak, I am informed, of a greater amount of discontent in the Indian army generally than appear in the English accounts. Reports from Russian sources go still further, and declare we cannot depend on the loyalty of the troops in any part of our Indian empire. I fear we shall find more truth in these assertions than you seem to, believe in England, unless, indeed, the intrigues of our enemies have failed, and we hear not what has actually occurred, but that which they hoped and expected would take place." FRANCE. PARIS, 1"11IIRSDAY EVENING. The ad interim administration of the Finance department, which had been confided to M. Fould, has ceased by Imperial decree of the 28th ; and M. Magne has resumed the exercise of his functions. The majority of the Board of Direct irs of the Bank of :France have rejected to-day the proposi tion for lowering the rate of discount to 5 per cent. This resolution caused heaviness at the close of business. Marshal Randon, Governor-General of Algeria, is about to come to Paris on business connected with his command, and he will remain in Paris for the. Emperor's fete on the 15th of August. A Paris letter in the Nord states that the four powers, Frame, Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia, have not considered satisfactory the reply which the Porte has made to their note respecting the election of the Divan in Moldavia, and that, in consequence, the late election, which in their opinion took place from electoral lists which were false, and were drawn up in a spirit contrary to the decisions of the congress of Parr, is not to be recognised as valid. Instructions in accordance with that view have, the letter adds, been sent to the commissioners of the above powers in the principalities. The trial of the three Italians Bartolotti, Tibaldi, and Grilli, for having formed a conspiracy to assas sinate the Emperor, has been fixed for the 6th and 7th August before the Court of Assizes. The judge who is t..) preside during the month of August, M. Vann, went yesterday to the prison Mazas, and interrogated pro forma the three prisoners. As they all declared that they had not provided them selves w:th advocates, he in virtue of his office ordered three advocates M. Templier, M. Riyollet, and. M. Lacan, to undertake their defence—the first-named acting for Bartolotti, the second for Tibaldi, and the third for Grilli. The funeral of the Prince de la Moskowa took place on Wednesday. The service was performed in the church of St Roch. The Senate, the army, and all the great bodies of the State were represented by deputations. The hearse was escorted to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise by a detachment of the 79th Regiment, commanded by its Colonel. On the 21st of June the French Consul at Cal cutta called together all the French inhabitants and captains of French vessels, and desired them to furnish and equip armed men, to watch over the safety of the European community. The French families were taken on board the vessels, and all Europeans are armed. BOIIRSE, July 30.—The majority of the board of directors of the Bank of France have rejected to day the proposition for lowering the rate of dis couunt to 5 per cent. This resolu'ion caused heaviness at the close of business. The following were the last quotations : Cash. ft.. c.

The Italia e Popo'o of Genoa says :—" Twenty persons arrested at Leghorn as bein g participators in the late outbreak have been released from prison ; but the number of arrests made since the 30th ult, amounts to upwards of 300, and the police still continue to arrest people on suspicion. On the 21st they boarded a British steamer in company with the English consul, and searched her minutely, but withoat result. It appears that the Government pect are on the alert to arrest an i n di v id ua l w h ose arri val the persons arres t e d at Genoa on suspi o n th o e f y beingoefifrom day t o d ay. " Four implicated in the affair of the 29th nit. were set at liberty on the 25th ult. ; but arrests still continue. M. Rosolino Pilo Giveni, a Sicilian appears, either by m i s t a k e or wilfully, refugee, has been found dead i n hi s apartment, takenhaving, a do it üble dose of a dangerous medicine pre scribed by his physician. It is stated that he was implicated in the late plot. SWITZERLAND. The Council of State and the National Coun cil of Switzerland have been lately engaged in the consideration of different questions con• nected with the measures of def ence w hi c h h a d been adopted in anticipation of a war with Prussia. A sum of six millions out of the loan of twelve, which has not been made me of, is to be immedi ately reimbursed. The question of the fortifications which had teen raised at Bala and at Eglisau was brought under consideration. Some member 3 spoke in favour of allowing them to remain as a memorial of the events which had taken place, but it was eventually decided by a large majority that the works should be demolished, as to keep them up would be a useless waste of money. PRUSSIA. Accounts from Berlin state that the negotiations relative to a patal convention between France and Prussia are about to be re.nuned under more fa vourable auspices. They were broken off in con sequence of France declining to admit the weight proposed. Any improvements that may result from the convention will, should it be concluded, be extended to the States forming the Austro-Ger man postal union. The Zeit of the 28th states that the customs conference has resumed its sittings. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 25th contain no news of inierest. Colonel Frias, commander of the Leon regiment of Infantry, and au ex-member of the Constituent Cortes, had been arrested and lodged in the prison of San Francisco. The Epoca states that upwards of 1,000 men had been embarked at Cadiz foi Cuba, and that more were about to be despatched there. From Malaga, Barcelona, San tander, Cornnna, and other ports, troops also were, it says, being sent to that island ; and it add s th a t in September, when the excessive heat of Cuba shall have passed away, large detachments are to go there, as are also some vessels of war. The object of this arrangement, says the Epoca, is to be prepared for every eventuality. THE NEXT DESPATCH PROM INDIA.—The inquiry now is—When may the next India mail be expected ? ing from last year, the day for the receipt of the tele graph' will be Wednesday week, the 12th of August. It is not improbable, however, that, supposing anything of great importance to have occurred shortly after the de. epatch of the present mail, the autheritiam in India will have made an effort to transmit the intelligence by means of the steamer from Au tralia en route to Suez. This vessel—the European—would be due at Point de Galle on the 11th of July (assuming her to have left Sydney on the 15th of June, as advertised), and Aden on the 221 of July • so that, in the event of a steamer being despatched from Bombay to the latter place, news to about the Bth or 9th of July, or a week later than that just brought, might be received here, via Marseilles, about the sth August. There is also a Russian means of communication by poets from laiva, by semaphore from the Ca-pian to.

T; - e Debuts takes advantage by the marriage of Princess Charlotte of Belgium to draw the atten tion of thepublic to the remarkable position attained by the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha in Europe by means of its matrimonial alliances. It believes that the result of these alliances will be most favourable to the influence of England, and that it will draw still closer the political union of Great Britain and Austria. We extract the following passages : " The King of the Belgians is a prince of the house of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, which has become great and powerful within a space of 30 years. He is the uncle of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria. The numerous children of the Queen are Coburgs. Apart from the near relationship existing between the two Royal families of England and Belgium, the Queen of England is tenderly at tached to King Leopold, her uncle, whom she con siders, with justice, one of the wisest and most eminent Sovereigns of Europe. The Princes of the House of Coburg are destined to reign one day over Great Britain and Belgium ; but with this difference, that the Coburgs of England will preserve the Protestant faith of their fathers, while the Coburgs of Belgium will be Ca tholic, like the French Princess, their mother. This circumstance favours in a singular manner the aggrandisement of the House of Coburg, which may aspire to any alliance. Thus the Princes of the Belgian branch marry in Catholic Austria, while the eldest Princess of the English branch allies herself to Protestant Prussia. The time, therefore, is not far distant when Coburgs will be found everywhere in Europe, and as relations or friends of the King or Queen of England they will reflect on that nation the greatness and power for which they are indebted to their numerous alliances. At the present moment, King Leopold, who is so closely connected with the Queen of England and the Emperor of Austria, would be an excellent in termediary for bringing about .a . political union between them ; and his consummate experience and profound knowledge of the men and politics of Europe would not fail him in that task. We have stated already that Europe cannot see with an in different eye the alliance which is gradually being established between Austria and England. We may mention that the union of those two countries in former times by no means prejudiced the interests of Prussia or Russia. On the contrary, Prussia, protected by that union, rose to the rank of a great Power, laid the foundation of future aggrandisement, and at present balances in the Germanic Confederation the influence of Austria. Russia also conquered immense tracts, which gave her the rule of the Baltic and the Black Seas, and so powerful an influence over the German States, as to lead to the belief that the equilibrium and independence of Europe were menaced. Are we to consider the family alliances of the Royal House of Belg'inn and of the Imperial House of Austria as a step towards the ancient alliance be tween England and Austria? We do not believe that such is the case, but we can comprehend the interest with which Europe watches the political effects of these alliances." REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO SCOTLAND.—The Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Roy al Family and suite, will leave London for the north on the 24th of next month (August), travelling by the Great N rth ern route to York, and thence by the North-Eastern, but it has not yet been decided by which route her Ma jesty will be conveyed into Scotland.

REPORTED DEATH or M. LAELACHE.—The Presse of Wednesday states that M. Calzado, the manager of the Italian Theatre, has received the melancholy news of t death of Lablebe. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Last evening Mezert's divine inspiration, "Le NOZZ3 di Figaro," the only true specimen extant of high musical comedy, was performed with immense success at Her Majesty's Theatre. The cast, unprecedentedly strong, was as fellows :—Sesanna, Madlle. Piceoln nini ; the Coun tess, Madlle. Ortolani; and Cherubino, Madlle Spezia; Figaro, Signer Belletti ; Count Almaviva, Signor Beneventano ; Don Bsrtolo, Signor Rossi ; Basilio, Signor Belart, and Antonio, Signor Vialett' e ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

CHELSEA NEW BRIDGE BILL.—It will be remembered that the bill for the abolition of the toll on Chelsea new bridge was referred to a select committee, with the con sent of Sir B. Hall, who was appointed chairman of the committee. At the first and only meeting of the committee it has been managed to shelve the bill ! The Vauxhall and Battersea Bridge proprietors ae peered by counsel, as being parties interested, while a similar permission . was refused to the inhabitants of Pimlico, on the argument that they had no existing rights. This clever " dodge" carried the point as intended. To the surprise of everybody, fir Benjamin Hall (whose business it was to take care that sufficient evidence was in attendance to prove the pre amble of the bill), declared the preamble of the bill "not proved ;" and so the measure has dropped through —a farcical termination certainly to so ex . raordinary an agitation. There must ba a great want of business habits somewhere among the parties who have conducted this local agitation on this subject, to have allowed it to come to such a blank termination.—Morning Chronicle, PROPOSED OPENING OF SOUTHWARK-BRIDGE FREE Yesterday a conference between the Bridgehouse Estates Committee of the Corporation and the General Pur poses Committee of the Metropolitan B ,ard of Works was held in the Guildhall, the object of the interview being to ascertain whether the corporation would be willing to co-operate with the board in purchasing the interests of the proprietors of the bridge. An attempt to do so was made some time since by tae Improvement Committee of the Corporation, but that failed in con sequence of the large amount (200,0001.) required, and the 'indisposition of the Government to render any financial assistance to the corporation in the event of an agreement being entered int.). 300,0001. is now wanted for the bridge, and the policy of advancing this sum jointly on the part of both bodies formed one ele rnent in the discussion of yesterday. The best feeling, it is understood, exists between both bodies, and if the directors will but consent to moderate their terms, the tell for foot-passengers will be shortly abolished, and a general, free, and direct thoroughfare will be opened from the City and the northern and southern suburbs of the metropolis. SALE OF OBSCENE BOOKS,' PICTURES, &u,—Lord Campbell's bill for suppressing the trade in obscene books, prints, drawings, &c., proposes to empower a justice of the peace upon complaint made before him upon oath, that the complainant had reason to believe, and does believe, that any such articles are kept in any house, shop, or room, for sale or distribution, to issue a search warrant (which may be enforced if necessary by br eking open doors, &o.), and if found, to order the same to be burnt or destroyed. In case any irre gularity, trespass, or other wrongful act should t e committed in the execution of the act, tender of amends may be made before action brought. In case no tender has been made the defendant in the action may, by leave of the court, pay a sum into court by way of satisfaction and amends, and if the plaintiff does not recover more than the sum so paid in, the defendant will be entitled to the verdict. Before commencing such an action, notice in writing mutt be given by the party intending to prosecute the same to the intended defendant, one calendar month's notice at the least before prosecuting the Fame. And such an action must be brought or commenced within three calendar months next after the hm3peniog of the matter complained of.— dvertieen ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.) SLIGO. The committee assembled for the first time this morning —Sir J. Y. Buaer, Bart., in the chair—to consider the petition against the return of Mr. P. Somers for the borough of Sligo. Mr. Slade and Mr. Clarke appeared for the petitioner. Mr. Ser geant Thomas, Mr. Gore Jones, and Mr. Lewis for the sitting member. Mr. Slade, in opening the case on the part of the ptCtioner, the Right Hon. J. Wynne, who claims the seat, said it was simply one of scrutiny. Evidence on the scrutiny was then gone into. At half-past two the Committee, having finished their scrutiny, declared that Mr. J. P. Somers was not duly elected for the borough of Sligo ; but that Mr. Wynne was duly elected, and ought to be re turned. DROGHEDA. The examination of witnesses in this case was proceeded with, but little progress had been made when the committee rose. BEVERLEY. The committee assembled this morning for the purpose of inquiring into the validity of this return. From the opening statement of counsel it appeared that Mr. E. A. Glover, and Mr. Wellswerecaudidates at the last election, that Mr. Glover was returned and that now Mr. Wells claimed the seat on the ground that Mr. Glover was not possessed of the necessary qualification, and that his agents had been guilty of bribery and treating. The committee proceeded to hear evidence on these points. DUBLIN (CITY). The committee assembled this morning to try the validity of the return of Mr. Grogan and Mr. Vance for this city. Mr. Edwin James and Mr. M'Donough ap peared for the petitioners, and Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Rodwell for the sitti ng naeinbera. Mr. James, in his opening speech, alleged a sys tem of corrupt practices and organised bribery amongst the liverymen of the city of Dublin, a large body of whom are of the poorest class of per sons, and many of whom were actually taken out of the workhouse and bribed to vote. In Dublin there was a society called the Protestant Society consisting entirely of freemen. Mr. Lilly was the preaidmf, and had the control of these men, some thing in the same manner as in the City of London, where there were about 300 or 400 freemen called long-shore men, who obtained the largest sums they could for their votes. The system of bribery complained of was on the part of Mr. Lilly. The learned counsel cited a great many cases, and pro ceeded to call evidence in support of them. HUNTINGDON. The committee met at 11 o'clock. At 2 o'clock it was announced that Mr. Heath_ cote had withdrawn, and the committee declared Mr. Fellowes duly elected. IPSWICH. After hearing some further evidence, the com mittee ordered the doors to be closed with a view to consider their decision. AMERICAN nEw OF THE INDIAN MUTINY. If, with all its many faults and shortcoming the East India Company had achieved no other work displaying either tact or talent, the creation and maintenance of the native army would entitle it, if net to the esteem, at least to the respect of the world; that a territory of such an extent, so acquired, should be so defended through 80 years, embracing vicissitudes of every imaginable kind, is a wonder greater than any ever achieved either by the arms of Tamerlauce or the munificence of the Great Mogul. The administrative talent which has enlisted a force of 250,000 men from .a conquered population, differing from their rulers so widely in language, manners, religion, and modes of thought, and at such a distance from home, and has converted a feeble andpusillanimous race, debased by ages of slavery and of caste into brave and hardy soldiers, is clearly of no mean order. The chains which have retained the sepoy steadfast in his allegiance to the Company " wlecs:e salt he eats," in all changes of war and time, from Plassey to Gujarat, and nerved him into victory over the master races of the continent on a thousand bloody fields, are clearly not forged by fear. One of the chief causes of the mutiny is unquestionably to be found in the suicidal policy pursued of late in reference to staff appointments, and which has kept the present generation of European officers of the native regiments apart from their men. Twenty years ago cadets left the military school at Addiscombe with no hope either of fame or advancement apart from the regiment in which they were given their commis sion. They made it their home, were interested in its efficiency, and were interested in the men who composed it. They made it their business to know the sepoy, hear his story, redress his grievances, dissipate his delusions, enlighten his ignorance, and were—as far as young, gay men entering on life can be—educators as well as officers. The ambition of such was a step in promotion in the regiment, and the command of it eventually, nor looked they beyond it for anything. Nowadays, all is changed. There is hardly one of the frolic some young gentlemen whom Sir James Hogg sends from Addiscombe over the Isthmus of Suez each year, with the blessings of their country, to lead the sable armies of the "Kompanee Sahib," who does not carry a letter to somebody from somebody, securing him somebody's influence to get an appointment on somebody's staff, or spe ciel service of some sort, in which he "may have an opportunity of distinguishires himself." Or his father sends to Lord So-and-50, 6 who writes to Sir So-and-so, and mamma is delighted by the thought that " dear George" will not have to be long in obscurity, in a sweltering station, but will speedily be place 1 in such a position that he may regenerate irreclaimable tribes, like Mac donald, or get up a tidy war oa his own respon sibility, like Edwards. The great demand there has been, of late years, for special agents of all sorts to aid in carrying out the reforms and im provements mentioned. and others recently set on foo', have unhappily entailed upon the authorities the necessity of complying with too many of these demands. Officers have been draughted away from their regiments by the score, and sent right and left, surveying, engineering, negotiating, re forming, edifying, judging. The remainder feel the regiment to be but a stepping-stone to some thing else, or, in aristocratic jargon, "a bore." The Sepoys are left to their devices, and are yearly getting more and more firm under the moral in fluence of their European superiors. A foolish re port about beef fat being put on the cartridges gets abroad, and inflames their ignorance and isolation into mutiny. There is no man who knows any thing of the Indian service who does not feel that twenty years ago the deplorable delusions which have led to the Delhi massacre could not have existed for one week.-11 etv York Times.

Cooke, of Wheatl,y-ball, near Doncaster, was going out for a drive in her brougham, with a floe pair of horses, on Wednesday last, one of the animals, it is supposed from being struck by a gadfly, began kicking, and, having got its leg over the pole, frightened the other horse, on which both started off at a furious rate in the direction of a sunk fence in front of the hall. The coachman, how ever, managed to pu'l the animals round a little, when they rushed to wards a group of trees, which they threaded safely, and then made for the coach-yard, in passing through the gate of which the off-wheel of the carriage came in contact with the post on that side with great force, and one of the lamps, together with the ironwork in which it was suspended, was torn off and dashed into the carriage, just missing the head of Lady Cooke, and falling into her lap. The coachman was pitched off the box several yards in front of the carriage, and rendered insensible by the fall. A foot man, who was also on the bux, continued to keep his seat by clinging to the carriage. The horses then dashed on towards a stone wall, against which they ran madly, breaking the carriage poll to shivers, and smashing the carriage. Several of the servants from the hall im mediately ran up to taericato their mistress from h er perilous position, when they found she had qu i etly kept her seat all the time, and bad not sustained the slightest injury. The footman on the box also escaped injury, but was taken down in a terrible fright, his hair literally standing on end. Lady Cooke at once ran to the coach roan, and directed him t 3 he removed into the house, where surgical assistance was soon obtained for him, and he has since gone ou wel. The horses %ere greatly injured about the loins and hips, but not eo mu c h as m'glit have been expected. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(Thii Day.) COURT OF BANKRUFTCT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fane.)
