ceedal in calming the men by interviews and ad drelses, and in awing them by precautionary ulna- sures. " The Irregular Cavalry &splard a fi. , _.ry zeal, firmness and loyalty, of which advantage was at ones taken to throw out guards and picket.; to pro tect the station and defend the guns, treasury, and gaol, while t)eir patrols were to give instant alarm to the authori•ies and corps; kept ready sad dled 'and armed, should they observe the least sign of an outbreak. 0, ders wee isQue Ito Captain 3fadkenzie, their coratnandant, in taTtly to iricrewe his 'regiment to 1,000 sowars, and numbers who had been wAting for entertaintnent, were imme diately enrolTed. 4 rThe women and children were sent off to the hills, and for the officers and Europeans thus pre pared for extremities a rallying point was agreed on. 4 4 The co mmissioner sent off circulars throughout the • district, directing all sowars on leave to put themselves at the disposal of the civil powers, and threw out detachments of police on the roads, to a ct 'as a wodge against straggling mutineers from Delhi, who coming on it, were quckly and securely conducted till past the city of Bareilly. After three nights, daring which the Irregulars were, I believe, nn'ter arras, sided ; the good men, who form the greit - major ty, evidently feeling themselves the stronger, and then venturing to speak out. The native regiments have now of - themselves thr-Iwa outinen off duty as running sentries round their lines, to prevent the appr , ach of stra?gling muti neers. The station is much quieter, and there is nothing to fear if only a decisive blow is struck at Delhi. " Much, very mu^h, of the excitem.nt arose from an undefined fear on the part of the sepoys. They kn.w that many of their number had coin mitted them elves, and they dvaded the vengeance of the Government, whom they knew to be cogni sant of their errors ; and this feeling was dexte rously seized on and encouraged by those scoundrels both in and out of the regiments, who, having nothing to lose, and hopes of gaining much, are always ready for a disturbance. " When the crisis shall have passed, stern and unflinching vengeance on those who have mutinied and been guilty of atrocities, tempered with judi cious and gracious clemency to those who were only misled into a willingness to join them, will, I fondly hope, tend grettly to create and consolidate a lasting loyalty throughout our native troops."— ..Eitglishman, June 3.

PRINSEP, A.D.C. ( From the Calcutta Eturkaru of June 5. ) The 45th and 57th Regimeots at Ferozepore, the 9th, which garrisoned tne stations of Allygurh, lkilynp tore-, an 1 Etawah, portions of the 13th, 48th, 71st Native Infantry, and two tro-ips of the 7th - Cavalry at Lucknow, have followed the exam ple set them by the Me, rat revol'e-s. At Fercze pore tie mutineers were a - tacked by the 61 , hFoot, the 'loth Cavalry, and Artillery with such effect that the 57th Native Infantry re• once laid down thiiir arms, and the 45th, a'ter losing many of their number, fled in confusion. The 9th Native In fantry made no a' tempt to murder their officers, contorting themselves with the plunder of the trea suries. At Luck now the mutiny broke out in the sarrie manner a; at Meerut, commencing wish the burning of almost every thatched hous. near the native lines. But Sir Hehry Lawremee was ready for the exolotion. He at once turned out with her Majetty's 32d Fo t, a batt -iry of Att il r:.• and that p - 4t.,ten of the 7th Cavalry which remained faithful, and attacked the insurgents ; the later were not only defeated, but prirsued for 30 m!1 -is. Several of their number were killed and a few taken. Thes 3 later have since met the fate which they deserved, by being blOwn from guns--a death more calcul at - d thait any other to strike =error into the native mini. In the mini se of th's emettte we have to aleptore the 1 ss of about a hundred Europeans, includ ing five, officers, whose names have not yet, with c r ie exception, been announced. The exception is Brigadier Handscomb, a fine old soldier : the par ticulars of his death have not yi t beeri received. Every credit is due-to Sir Henry Lawre ace, not only for the prompt measures he alopted as soon as the mtitiny broke out, but for having effec•ually pre vented any outbreak or manifestation in the city of Lucknow, suppo , ed to be the hot-bed of disaffec tion. It has since been ascertained that the muti neers, after leaving Lucknow, bent their steps to ards Seetapore, hoping to gain over the sepoys stationed there. On their arrivs before the place; ho4eever, they found the 41st Native Infantry and the 9th Irregular Infantry drawn up to receive 'Ahern. They at once beat a retreat, and moved, it is supposed, in the direction of Delhi. In the meanwhile the insurgen•s in that city have been busily engaged in strengthening their position. By the arrival of stragglers from other mutinous re giments, and the disaffected from all parts of India, the 4 r numbers hive increased, it is said, t) twenty ilvtusand. They have appointed Lall Khan, a Stihadai of the 3.1 Cavalry, their general in chief, with Bulder) Singh, a Sobadar of the 20th ultimo, as their second m command. Their first step was to proclaim the Emperor of Delhi, or his son King of India ; their second to fortify themselves. They hid ample means as th e i r disposal for this iurpose, a large siege train and immense stores of powder. The possession of these resources seems to have spired-them with a confidence which gradually in. creased as they found themselves unmolested. On the 29th ult. they, sent out a strong party with five guns to guard the bridge over the tittle river Hin dun. They entrenched themselves on the heights ' 1 near the river with no ordinary skill ; but on the following day they were attacked by a portion of the European force from Meerut, and were almost to a man shot do - wn. As a matter of course, their guns and position fell into our hands.' The grand advance against Delhi has been post poned, partly from the want orcarriage, and partly to enable the siege train, which has been sent for from Phillciur, to arrive. It is now expected that the attack will take place on the 9th or 10th inst. THE MASSACRE AT DELHI. We give below a det4iled account of the MU llacre at Delhi frOrd the columns of the Delhi Gazette extra,_ published at Agra : "No detailed account having yet appeared of the fearful mas..acre in D e lhi , we may b e 'm aned for offering the following, though somewhat late in d y i ng eo. It is from the pen of an eye-vvitne,s '— O a the morning of the 11th May, a party of the '3d Light Cavalry, variously stated at from 25 to 250, made their appearance at Delhi. They hal come over from Meerut during the night, and were evi dently - prepared to perpetrate the most awful crimes , 'as tbey were fully annul and apparetitly wild with rage and excitement. They entered' the Calcutta gut 3 without oppesit.on from any of tt.e police, and m Lde their way directly towards Deriow gtinge, shooting down in t'teir progress all the Europeans they met with. Among the first vie tims were Mr. Sunon Fraser, the Governor Gene ral's agent ; Captain Douglas, his assistant ; and Mr. R. Nixon, chief clerk in their office. Notice was imtnediat-ly cent to the briga ter, and a regi ment (the 54th M.N.), with two guns from De Tessier's Batrety were sent down. The 54th marched through the Cashmere gate in good order, bat on the approach of some of the sowars, the se poys rushed suddenly to the side of the road, leav- Ing their officers in the middle of the road, up m whom the troopers immediately came at a gallop, and one after the other shot them down. The officers were, with the exception of Colonel Ripley, unarmed. The colonel shot two of them before he fell; but with this exception, and one said to have been shot by Mr. Fraser, none fell. After butcher ing all the officers of the 54th the troopers dis mounted, and went among the sepoys of the 54th shaking hands with them, and, it may be supposed, thanking them or their forbearance in not firing on the murderers of their officers. . The troopers were perfectly collected : they rode up to their victims at full gallop, pulled up suddenly, fired their pistols and retreated. The countenances of the trooper , wore the expression of maniacs • one was a mete youthrushing about, flourishing his swop d, and &s -playing all the fury of a, man under the influ ence of bhang. They were in full uniform, and some had medal. Had the officers of the 28th 54th, and 74'h Native Infantry been armed with revolvers they might have shot some of them, hut had they done so it is still a doubtful question whether their own men would not have bayoneted them. The 54th made some show of firing their muskets but theirehots wont of course over the heads tithe troopers, who had manifestly full con fidence in the reception they were o meet with. Their plans must have been evidently well ma tured. Meanwhile the people of the city were collecting for mischief ; several bungalows at Deriowgunge had been fired, and as the day ad vanced the goojurs of the villages around Delhi became alive to the chances of loot, and were ready for action. The city was up in arms, every Euro pean residence was searched, the troopers declaring that they did not want property but life, and when they retired the rabble rushed in, and made a clean sweep, from the punkahs to the floor mats. "It is difficult to form an estimate of the num ber killed, most - of the lists already publ:shed are incorrect, happily, several persons said to be killed are still in existence, and some who escaped are not down at all. "As soon a 3 the extent of the outbreak was known, it became necessary for the residents to seek some place of safety • and most of them made their way to the Flagstaff Tower where the gun is fired. A company of the 38th Native Infan'ry and two guns were stationed here, and a large party .of ladies • and gentlemen, • including the brigadier, brigade major, &c., were here. well armed, with the intention of defending themselves against the troopers. The t twer is round and of solid brickwork, and was well adapted for the pur pose ; better, iu fact, than any other building in Delhi. In selecting this. spot the brigadier dis played considerable judgment, but he did not then know the extent of the catastrophe ; for although the general demeanour of the troops was anything. but subordnate, the actual state of the case was unknown. Many of the officers of the 38th still had confidence in their men, and endeavour d to reason with them when they showed symptoms of in mbordination ; but on Cotouel Graves harangu ing the company stationed at the Flagstaff Tower, it became evident that they were in a state of mutiny, and that the slightest thing would induce them to turn at once against their officers and the other Europeans assembled on the hill. Ab iut a quarter to four the magazine in the city exploded —.a puff of whi'e sm.-lie and the report of a gun preceded the cloud of red dust which rose like a huge coronet into the air; the explosion that fol lowed was net so great as might have been expected, hut the effect was cornple'e. It was soon known that the explosion was not accidental, but the gal lant act of Lieut. WilloughV, Commissary of Ord fiance, Delhi, and it is pleasing to be able to add that this brave young man Escaped with a severe scorching. About 1,500 persons, rebels, are saic . l to have been blown up with the magAzine. " On the apoe trance of the clouds of dust in the air, Vie company of the 38th made a rush to their: arms, which were piled near them ; the object they had in view is net clearly define I, but it is supposed that they were influenced by a sudden desire to at tack those within the tower. Soon after this the 38th took possessiou of two guns sent up to rein force the party at the tower, and on this becoming known, the brigadier advised all who could leave to do so, intending to follow when the rest had all departed. Conveyances being iu waiting na , ,st. of 'he ladies got away, the genVemen following on horsebick ; and thus a safe retreat was effected to wards Kurnaul for some, while others branched off to Meerut. Many hair-t readth escapes have been related to the writ r—ladies remaining 8 or 10 d tys in the jungle trus ing to the natives for protection and foiid, in several iustauces freely given, and it is gratifying to know that 'several persons supposed to have fallen victims are now safe at Meerut, Kurnaul, ITtnbal!a, or S'mla. _ . " Throughont the whole of this cruel business the Go tj-ri appear t.) have been most active in the work'of devastation. Houses were burnt, and pro perty stolen and destroyed, by them in the most wanton manner. Bands of th?na were lying in waiting after nightfall all along the line of road 20 mites out of Delhi, on the watch for the refugee; come of whom were mole •ted and would have b en robbed, and perhaps murdered, had not decisive measures been adopted. Mr. Wagentreiber and family, fly;ng for bare life in his OWn carriage, was attacked five time 3, his wife receiving some severe blows from iron-bound lathees, and himself asword cut on the arm, and a blow on the tack of the neck from a la'he - .. But they contrived to evade them all by firmness and judgment, shooting four and wounding two of the ruffians in self-defence, and eventually making good their re'reat to Kurnaul. " The escape of Sir T. Metcalfe was most provi vidential. After being three days in Delhi after t h e outbreak, he escaped' into the junglei, hiding wherever he could, and at length, after 10 days, finding his way to Hausee. `'Several Europeans, (said to number 43) were taken to the palace, or perhaps went there for pro tection ; these were taken care of by the King of Delhi ; b.it the sowars of the 3d Cavalry, whose thirst for European blood hid not been quenched, rested not till they were all given up to them and murdered one by one in cold blood. " The troopers are said later in the day to have pointid to their leas before they murdere I their victims, and called attention to the marks of their manacles, asking if they were not justitied in what they were doing. This may or may not be the case, but is certain that the severe sentence on the mutine-rs of the 3d Cavalry was the imrneclitte cause of the Meerut massacre, which preceded that at Delhi_ by only a few hours. In both stttions, the people of the city and bazaar appear to have been very active, and to have aided the mutineers in their bloo iy work. " Half measures will not do when the day of re tribution arrives ; 'it is to he hoped that a lesson inay.be taug n easily fa-gotten, and Delhi re• main no longer in the pages of history." LIST OF ESCAPED FROM DELHI. The following list of officers and ladies who have escaped from Delhi was received yesterday by the Governor-Gen-oral from the governor-lieutanaut of the north-west provinces. We are glad to sea that F everal names which were uncertain may now safely ba cla;sed among the escaped. We notice also with great pleasure that Mr. Heatley, who had been given up by his friends, is among the survivors Brigadier Graves. Mrs. De Teissier. Capt. Nicoll, Brig. Major. Mrs. Hutchinson.

There is little doubt that Delhi is ere now in the hands of General Barnard, and that the crimos of the mutinoers have met with their just reward. The following gratifying intelligence was conveyed to Government by telegraphic. messages from Agra ;-- g r, "Agra,at successllt h J o u li n e t , he s . 8 3 t 0 h a o . fm. this "There has bean month outside the w a ll s of Delhi -- 26 tured, and the rebels driven dispi ' , gu . na yap.. town ; all the heights in our possession.".l, Into the "Delhi, Bth June, 7.40 a.m. cg We have made good our point t , -day, and are now encamped on the parade-grrund with the heights betwe, n the cantonment and the city in our hands, and irr a position to commence the siege at once. The enemy kid taken up a strong position at Budalla Serai, which was carried, with the capture of.all tir, , , guns. The pursuit Was so sharp that the E SUN, LONDON, gunners threw tbemselves off t heir horAes and left the field pieces stand ng on the road. The heavy guns remain iu possession. Twenty -six guns in all have been captured to-day, and large quantities of en trenching tools." The tall of Delhi will in all probability be the extinguishment of the mutiny, in so far as active demonAration of sympathy wi , h it is concerned, and the task will devolve upon Government to provide against a iepet Von of these tragedies.

Lord Elgin, General Ashburnham, and their respective staffs. Lord Elgin remains a guest of the governor's until the arrival of her Majesty's ship Shannon, when his Excellency will proceed on to China. General Ashburnham and suite proceed on in the Singapore to-morrow direct for Hong Kong. The mail steamer Norna leaves for Gallo at noon to-day. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, Captain Sir William HoAe Bart., is still here waiting the arrival of the Racehorse from China to relieve her, when the former will sail for England. Toe hon. company's steam frigate Auckland isnow here, but leaves to-morrow for Calcutta with despatches from Lord Elgin, and for the conveyance of European troops for Bengal. The Chinese residents here are quiet at present, but the disastrous news from Indic has had a had effect upon their minds, as might naturally be expected. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM MAY 27TH TO JUNE 10TH. The English mail from London of the 11th ult., per Panint.ular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ganges reached Bombay on the sth instant. The tightness in onr money market, reported in our last, has increased during the past fcrtnight, and the banks have again raised their rates of interest 1 per cent. all round ; and as there is at present a sort of panic in the bazaar, it is probable we may have to record in our next a much worse state of matters than now exist. Government 4 per cent, paper is unsaleable, and may be quoted nominally from 80 to 82, and fives 99, and some of our local joint stock shares have given way in proportion. IMPORTS.

An outward mail leaves to-clay per steamer Norna to Galle. Among the passengers per Aden were Major- General Sir R. Garrett and Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham. The great increase of support with which Lord Palmerston will return to Parliament is, of course, gratifying to ell parties here, and with such a ina,n as Lord Elgin to carry out the energetic and, as far as can be seen as yet, the wise policy of Govern went, we look forward to a speedy and satisfactory settlement of the present matter of dispute with the Cantonese, and th- est anlisnment of a future inter conr se with Alio Chinese which will prove.equally beneficial to Chinese as to foreigners. Since the 10th inst., the date of our legit letter, the occurrences here have been uuimport Int. The dates from the Canton River are to the 23d inst. There is little to report there. The junks e again, we hear, appearing in large numhers, and in Fatshan-cre?k over 100, most of them of the largest' size; were anchored, and .batteries were erected on ..I).ere, the Chinese being apparen'ly under the impression that an attack on Fatshen was contem- plated by our forces. We ,hear it is the inten tien, as soon as the gunhoets are ready, to clear the creeks of the numerous junks, which, being in the vicini'y of our shops, give the Clenese oppor tunities of causing considerable annoyance. The Tee-totum Fort is . now garrieoned by men from Vie Raleigh. We understand the tenders for raising Her Majesty's ship Raleigh were very high—from X 40,000 to $50,000. It is likely she will be sold where she now lieu, and Commodore Keppel will hoist his fi ig on board one of the vessels in ttioliarbour, the Admiral being desirous at the present time to have the services of such an officer as Commodore Keppel. There hive been lately kome noble additions to the naval force in these waters. Her Majesty's kt-amer Highflyer, Captain Shad well, arrived on the 13th of May with the gun boats, F. r ster, Haughty, Plover, and Opbssutn. Two of the gunhoats were in charge of the steamer from England ; the (eller two she fell in with at the Cape, and one or e tiler was always towing for a distance of say, 13,000 mites. Seven of these small boats have now arrived here without meeting accident. Her Majesty's steamftigate Tribune, Captain Edgell, arrived here from the Sandwich Isles on the 14th inst. She sailed from Honolulu on the 20th of April. • Her Majesty's ship Amethyst, Captain T. Gren fell arrived on the 231 inst. from Singe Tyre. The steamer Hightlyer left for the Prates Sho:il on the 14th inst.. as it was reported some Chinese from the Anna (British owned), wrecked there on the 10th inst., were on the shoal. They must have got off in junks, as no one belon g ing to th e vessel was seen. The, steamer returned here on the 19th inst. A short time since the bodies of two foreigners, lashed back to back, were seen in the water near Macao. One hid, apparently, been beheaded. and the other disembowelled. Our advices from the coast do not contain any thing of much importance. The accounts appears to be more satisfactory as regards the state of the country in the interior. At Niugpo another disturbance had taken place between the Portuguese lorcha men and the Canton boatmen, the latter assisted by some French sailors. The cause of the riots is that the Portuguese en deavour to monopolise the convoying sy‘tein, and thy are apparently heedless of their consular autho rity. Our Foochow advices are to the 19th init. Less uneasiness was felt about the rebels, and fresh efforts were being made to send money into the country for investment in tea ; six small chops new . ongous have arrived from neighbouring districts, the quality not equal to No. 1 Krshows, and after considerable competition sold for 33A tads to 36i tads. Shipped off similar teas last year were bought at 23 tads to 26 taels. One vessel, the Queen of Mar, had been despatched to England, and three were on the berth. Her Majesty's steamer Sampson, and brig Camilla were at Foochow. • Amoy letters are to the 20th inst. Disturbances in the neighbourhood had interfered with trade, but at the last less uneasiness was felt. At Hongkong all remains quiet. We have to mention the stoppage of payments by the American firm, Messrs. King and Co. Their liabilities are said to be under $150,000, mostly due to Chinese. His Excellency Sir John Bowring has intimated that he has been informed by Lord Clarendon that compensation for losses lately sustained by British subjects will be demanded from the Chinese Go vernment. In trade here we have few transactions to report. A few parcels of tea and silk have been bought at Macao at extreme prices. Cotton is quoted—Bengal, 9i dole. to 104 dole. ; Bombay, IGi dots, to 11i dole. Cotton yarn, Nos. 16-24, nominally 25 dole. ; Nos. 28-32 30 dole. to 33 dots. ; Nos. 38-42 $4O 45.

Ac companied by his aides de camp, Major Collinson and Sir David Baird, he left the London-bridge station by the cxpress mail train at 8.30 p.m. At Dover be was received by Captain Smithett and a number of officers of his favourite corps, the 42J, with whom he entered into the most friendly con verse during the few minutes previous to embark ation, and on bidding them " good bye," expressed his assurance that they would soon follow him. On embarking in the Royal and Imperial mail steam plicket Imperatrice, a spontaneous cheer marked the departure of the favourite chief. We may add to the following account from a con temporary, that so hurried was the general's ar rangements, that it was after banking hours that it was found he required money to "pay the way," and shopkeepers and tradesmen supplied the "ready" for the expedition "Sir Colin Campbell is at this moment speeding by express through France to catch the outward awl, which has been delayed for the purpose of conveying the new Commander-in-Chief to the scene of his duties. It was on Saturday only that the Government received intelligence of the melancholy death of General Anson, who appears to have been struck down by cholera while hastening to the scene of action. General Sir. H. So merset is the officer next in seniority to Gen. Anson, and he will therefore assume the acting command until the arrival of instructions from England. On Saturday afternoon only was the post offered to Sir Colin, with the question, How soon could he start Most men would have considered that next mail' would have been , a prompt and satisfactory,answer. Sir Colin Campbell, to his honour, with the simplicity and ardour of a true hero, replied, 'To-morrow morning I Stop the Mar seilles boat, and I'll catch her, and I can get all I want in Calcutta as well as in London.' The gallant veteran is therefore off to the scene of former triumphs where, under Sir C. Napier, in command of a brigade, he took part in that immortal Scinde campaign, one of the most brilliant achievements of our Indian military history." _ Sir Colin Campbell arrived in Paris to-day, ac. companied by a number of superior officers. He pro ceeds to Marseilles immediately. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SPENCER ROUSE. theirCboynsort h p o r n e o s u en re e d e . th s e s P p r e i n n e c e e r the H E er ar M l and ie ty Co a u n T a i t at a ball at Spencer House, St. James's, last night. The circle who had the honour to be favoured with invitations was more select than numerous. Beyond an alumina' ion in gas of the Royal initials, surmounted by the R lat crown and an anchor beneath, there was uo external show, the visit of the Queen being of a more private character than that to the Pruesiau Legation last week. On this occasion, instead of full uniform and court cos urne, the visitors appea-ed in what in courtly circles is . denominat 'frock" dress, the noblemen and gentlemen presect wearing the ribands of their orders of knightly•od. The arrangeineets for the Queen's reception were made regardless of any expenditure, but were remarkable for eleg a nce and complete rather than unnecessary magnificence. The entrance hall, btaircase, and other ap proaches to the principal saloons were well lighted, and ornamented in every vacant niche and space bYI a profusion of the choicest flowers. The drawing room (painted room), a perfect gem for its elaborate gilt decorative ornamenr, exquisite arabesque, and faultless painting, arid the ball-room, the largest of the several saloons, which is ornamented by some valuable paintings by the ancient masters, and is illuminated from the roof, was tastefully arranc, , ed with flowers, and so ventilated that:no discomfort was experienced from the heat. A haut pas was placed in the room for the Queen and the members of royalty, and sofas were placed on each side for the more illustrious visitors. The dining-room on the ground flr.or was devoted for the supper. The company began to arrive shortly after nine o'clock, the inconvenient approach by St, James's place lo,:ing kept clear and order well preserved by an efficient force of the police, under Superinteu- Walker, and Harming, and Inspectors Banks Butt, and Lister. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary arrived at ten minutes to ten o'clock, with Lady Geraldine Somer set and Major Home Purees. Their serene Highness Prince and Princess Ed ward of Saxe W e i mar a rrived early. His Serene Highness Prince Frederick of Holstein was hlso among the early arrivals. His Royal Highness the Mika of Cambridge came at eleven o'clock, attended by Colonel Tyr what. Her Majesty and the Prince Consort were accom panied by the King of the Belgians, the Princess Charlotte and the Count of Flanders, the Princess Royal, and Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Royal party being attended by Viscountess Jo celyn, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Captain the Hou. D. de Ros, Lord Byron, Viscount Torrington, Sir F. Stovin, the Countess 'd'Yve Baron Moltke, Hon. Eleanor Stanley, and Hon. Louisa Gordon. The Queen and illustrious company were received on alighting by the Fart and Countess Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and Lady Sarah Spencer—the Duke of Wellington, the Marquis of Breadalban e , and the Marquis o f Abercorn being in attendance in the vestibule to attend on the royal guests. Her Majesty, resting on the arm of the King of the Belgians, went up the grand staircase, and after a brief pause passed into the ball-room, when the baud (Coote and Tinney'a) struck up " God save the Queen." Dancing soon - afterwards commenced. At 12 o'clock her Majesty retired to the supper room—the King of the Belgians and other Royal guests likewise partaking of the sumptuous repast. Shortly before one o'clock her Majesty retired, the Royal party being conducted by the officers of the Queen's household to the royal carriages. OPENING OF THE ROYAL WELSH SCHOOL, ASHFORD, MIDDLESEX.--Yesterday afternoon the new school, at Ashford, belonging to the 110110UrablO and Loyal So. cicty of Ancient Britons, was opened with the usual ceremonies by bis Royal Highness the Prince Consort.

The Third Grand Morning Performance will bo given on Saturday, July 13, at Two o'clock, LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1867. In another part of our impression will be found full details of the progress of events in India. Although not worse than might be expected, there are unquestionably grave causes, we shall not say for alarm—but for that prompt and vigorous action which can alone quell the military insubor dination, that so extensively prevails throughout the sepoys of the Bengal Army. We find whole regiments rising en masse and turning their arms against those by whom they were entrusted to their hands, from whom they received pay and clothing, and whose bread and salt they had eaten. In others there are numerous desertions, men, who had previously appeared faithful, abandoning their colours on the most frivolous and insufficient pre. text ,, , probably going off to join the insur gents, and take service with the Mock King of Delhi ; or, possibly, to carry on a guerilla war fare in various district. It is manifest, from what has already come to light, that the religious complaints have been mere pretexts, paltry excuses, to give a different colour to the real feelings ; and perhaps to gain the co-operation of a few fanatics amongst the troops and the Native population. We must, then, strive to ascertain, so far as practicable, the true state of affairs—to search out the causes that have led to these calamitous results. This in quiry must be condUcted without fear or favour, prejudice or affection. The matter is of such vast importance to the welfare, prosperity, and security of the Anglo-Indian Empire, that no man, or body of men, can be screened or protected. Let us seek the fountain and origin of the alleged griev ances, discover how far they are well-founded or the reverse, and distribute strict justice to all parties concerned. So far as the mutineers are concerned, the ringleaders must be brought to condign punish ment. Nothing could possibly justify the course they have adopted—not only deserting from their ranks, but, being guilty of the most heartless and sanguinary atrocities, not merely against their officers, but against every European, and sacrifi cing even helpless women and innocent children to their insane wrath ! There can be no tempo rising, no compromise in such a case. The mutiny must be suppressed at any cost, the spirit of insubordination thoroughly and completely crushed, and, as we have stated, the ringleaders severely punished. Unless that be accomplished, the prestige by which a handful of Europeans have controlled 120,000,000 of Asiatics, will be for ever destroyed, and our empire sapped at its very foundation. The best means have been adopted for that purpose. Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL has shown that he is " ready, aye ready for the field." The gallant veteran started at a moment's notice, and his very name will be worth ten thou sand soldiers. He has exhibited the promp titude of brave : old CHARLIE NAPIER, and will, we trust and believe, prove himself a worthy successor to that renowned general ! Sir PATRICK GRANT too, was as good a man as could beprocured on the emergency, and with " the right men in the tight places" we may draw the most auspicious auguries as to the triumph of the good cause. But it is not merely generals, but European soldiers that are required. Every effort must be made ! Any petty economy in the present instance would be wholly misplaced. It would indeed be " a penny wise, and pound foolish policy." It appears that 20,000 English troops are to be des patched to the scene of action, and that their places are to be supplied by calling out the regi ments of militia so recently disembodied. What ever other troops can be spared should also be sent, and a short act might be passed authorising regiments of militia, who volunteer for the pur po4e of participating in the contest. We are greatly mistaken if these gallant men will not readily respond to the demands that may be made, and prove themselves fully wor thy of the confidence that has been reposed in their fidelity and bravery. There will be no lack of transports. The Royal Navy must bear its share in the struggle. Our leviathan ships of war could carry out, with but little delay, many thousand troops, and we are satisfied that both officers and men would willingly sacrifice every personal feeling, and rejoice to make them selves useful in any way that may be required fur the national benefit. We shall not now enter into the vexed ques tion of " who is t,) blame"--whether the regi mental officers, or the company's regulations. There are, we fear, faults on both sides. Very bitter feelings towards the regimental officers have unquestionably been displayed, and this would lead to the inference, that they had not sufficiently cultivated the good wilt of those placed under their command. It is said that there has been too much of an exclusive feeling displayed; that they have held aloof from the native officers, and assumed the airs of a superior race. These matters may, however, be fully and clearly explained, and GOD forbid that we should condemn, or even censure a gallant body of men, our own brethren engaged in arduous and impor tant duties, without giving them ample opportunities of being heard in their own defence. On the other hand, it is boldly asserted that the vexatious regulations of the Company are mainly re sponsible. We do not venture to prejudge the issue. AU we demand is a stringent investigation, that will place the responsibility on the right shoul ders, and such measures, as the results of that in vestigation may prove to be imperatively required. No time can be lost. The first step may decide the contest ; that step should be taken under the sanction of Parliament. The nation has already suffered sufficiently from the abdication of its legis lative functions, and short as is the period previous to the prorogation, opinions may be ventilated, and measures carried, that will place matters on a right foundation, and en ible us to await patiently the event, confident that we have done all in our power to make it that which the honour, welfare, and security of our Sovereign Lady the QUEEN and her dominions, imperatively demand. All honour to Mr. DILLWYN ! He has taken the bull fairly by the horns, and met the vexa tious opposition of the hereditary branch of the Legislature, to the just claims of Baron ROTHS CHILD, or rather of the Electors of the City of London—for it is their privilege rather than his that has been so long kept in abeyance—in the only proper manner. The Honourable Gentle man has given notice that, on Friday next, he will move a resolution to the effect that "whereas the Act of the Ist and 2d of VICTORIA was passed to allow persons to take oaths in the form which; was most binding on their consciences, and whereas Baron LIONEL DE ROTHSCHILD had been returned as one of tha representatives of the city of L'uldfm, but was precluded from taking his seat and voting in consequence of the occurrence in the Oath of Abjuration of the words on the true faith of a Christiaty,' which he declared not to be binding on his conscience,' the Clerk be in structed to omit those words in administering the Oath of Abjuration to persons who objected to take them as not being binding upon their con- sciences." This is as it should be. It is the course which Lor JOHN RUSSELL should long since have adopted, as we have repeatedly explained, and no later than yesterday repeated. It is the best solution of the difficulty that could be discovered, and we heartily rejoice that even at the eleventh hour it has been determined fairly to take the sense of the House on the important and interesting question. It now remains to be seen whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his followers will have the man liness to confess and atone for the seri ous error into which they were betrayed. If so, well ! If not, we cannot give them credit, neither for magnanimity or sincerity. On such a point the Commons House of Parliament ought to be, and is the sole judge of its own privileges. Pro vided the substantial portion of the oaths be taken—that is all that can be required. As we have repeatedly proved, the adjuration "and this I declare on the true faith of a Christian," is a mere form which may, and can be, dispensed. with, whenever the party declares it not to be binding on his conscience. It is but the stamr, while the promissory part, is the sterling metal, that gives intrinsic value to the pledge. The House has already gone much further in the case of Quaker members. For Messrs. PEASE and BRIGHT it dispensed not only with the form, but with the oath itself, accepting a declaration, as the substantial part, in place of a direct appeal to the Deity. And why ? Simply because that declaration was " binding on the conscience" of the person who made it, and his religious feelings forbade any further sanction. Here was a prece dent or rather a succession of precedents directly in point. Here was the path indicated that ought unhesitatingly to have been pursued. It was Lord JOHN RUSSELL that raised the obstacle that has ever since proved insuperable, and may continue to resist the tide of public opinion, for a succession of years. He it was who, with honeyed words of liberality and good will, to our Hebrew fellow-citizens, prevented Baron ROTHSCHILD and Alderman SALOMONS from assuming the positions to which they were entitled by the suffrages of large and influential consti tuencies. His intentions might have been good. We have no doubt that he believed the opposi tion of the Lords could have been overcome ; but in place of taking the simple, easy, and straightforward course, he raised a needless im pediment which he could never subsequently overcome. His was the fate of another FRANK ENSTEIN, who was haunted and baffled to the end of his career by the monster he had himself created. It will be seen from an advertisement in ano ther part of our impression that many influential members have requested a meeting of their brother representatives, on Thursday, to take into consi deration fie rejection of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill. If a suitable demonstration be made—if the pressure be sufficiently stringent—Ministers must succumb ! And there is the greater prospect of such a proceeding, inasmuch as they are not, in any degree, committed. It is " the calm JOHNNY who upset the coach" that must bear the brunt of the occasion ; and it has been proved, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that he can be surrendered without any extraordinary degree of compunction, whenever the magnitude of the crisis may demand such a sacrifice. The best course for the ex-Premier would be to yield with a good grace. Nay, more, he could turn the tables, by confessing, and taking a leading part in repairing the conse quences of his previous mistakes. At all events,. let every really Liberal member come boldly for ward. Much will depend on his conduct at the pre sent moment, and the time has arrived when it be hoves every man to do his duty, and to act up faithfully to his former professions, regardless of consequences to himself or others. CITY BANK.—(Meeting This Day.) The third ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this corporation was held at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-street, at 12 o'clock—Sir Robert W. Car den, M.P., the chairman of the Board of Directors, pre siding. The report stated that a further issue of 1,500 shares to the proprietors had taken place at a premium of 101. per share, in the proportion of one to every three shares previously held. Upon this issue, 15,0001. have been re ceived for premium, and 32,225/. on account of instal merits. From the accounts, which the directors have now the satisfaction to place before the meeting, it will be seen that, after defraying all the current expenses of the establishment, including the usual proportion of building expenses, providing for all bad and doubtful debts, and allowing for rebate on bills discounted, not yet due, the sum remaining at their disposal amounts to 28,049 11s. 11d., which enables them to transfer 18,0001. to the credit of the " Reserved Fund," thereby increasing that fund to 28,0001. ; to declare a dividend at the rate of 51. per centuin per annum, and a bonus of 10e. per share, payable on 21st July, both free of income tax ; also to carry forward the suns of 2,1741. lle. lid. to the profit and loss account of the current half-year. The report was unanimously adopted, and votes of thanks passed. Sir Robert Walter Carden, M.P., William Ilackblock, Eq., M.P., and Jal.oes Nelson Smith, Esq., were re elected directors. VISIT OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS TO MANCHESTER —The King of the Belgians and Princess Charlotte are expected in Manchester on Wednesday, a suite of apart ments having been engaged for them at the Queen's Rota. Toe Duke of Rutland bas left town for Southampton, to embark on board his yacht. The Countess of Clarendon is expected to return to London from Germany the week after next. The „Earl and Countess of Fife have left town for Yorkshire, en route to Scotl a nd. H M ER AJETISY'S THEATRE —SIGNOR GITIGUINT'S BENEFIT, —This most admired artist's benefit last night, at her Majesty's Theatre, was a series of triumphs. The vocal gems of "Il Trova,tore," " Lucia di Lammer moor," " II Pinata," " I Martini," and "La Favorita," were executed marvellously, each fall of the drop-scene being the signal for showers of bouquets, and repeated Mdllee. Piccolomini, Spezia, and Ortolani, with Signori Beneve tano and Vialetti, supported the various selected acts and scenes.
