It is always exceedingly unpleasant to be compelled to enact the part of avocat du, Diable and to question the claims of a deceased person to the praise and gratitude of the community. But the adage de mortuis nil nisi bonum does not always apply. We should not unnecessarily open the question as to how far the late Commander-in- Chief in the Crimea was responsible for the mis• takes and mismangement that occasioned such fearful disasters. But, when it is forced on us by injudici ous a d m i rers, i t b ecomes an i mperat i ve duty to resist the establishment of a vicious pre cedent; and to prevent the reward that has hitherto only been bestowed on public services of the most unquestionable merit, from being con ferred on what can, at best, be only regarded as "respectable mediocrity." Save in two instances, no Public monument has ever been granted to any military comman d er who had not perished on a field of stricken fight, or died of wounds received in battle. It is un necessary to speak of the exploits of the Iron Duke, the Hero of a hundred fights. Every Englishman recognised the propriety of the tribute paid to his memory which could not be tortured into a precedent, until the country could boast of another WELLINGTON, aye, more, and another BuoNersarz, to test his extraordinary powers. We presume the warmest admirer of Lord RAGLAN will scarcely institute a comparison between him and the great Captain, whose genius and gallantry have added so many brilliant pages to the Natiozal Archives, It will be universally felt that the " WELLINGTON Monument" is not a case in point, and that the application can derive no authority from that striking exception to the general rule. The only other case was that of Lord HEATH FIELD, and his claim was founded on his noble de fence of the Maiden Fortress, by means whereof one of its brightest gems was retained in the British diadem. In his case there were no mistakes—no mismanagement—no yielding to the opinions of others. Against an overwhelming force he de fended and kept possession of Gibraltar. He com menced, and nobly completed, the arduous task imposed on him, and thus entitled himself to the honour justly accorded. But Lord RAGLAN did not complete his task. Sebastopol still held out at the time of his death, and the claim was chiefly founded on what might have been done, had his advice been followed, but which was not accom plished, owing to the fatal facility with which he yielded his own wishes to the opinions of others. We do not doubt that he had good intentions, but the place said to be paved therewith is not to be mentioned to ears polite. And if the argu ment prevailed, it is not one, but hundreds of monuments that should be erected. We do not dispute the personal gallantry of Lotd RAGLAN, but that was a quality in which the overwhelming majority of the officers and men under his command participated, and it would be a standing reproach to the British character if courage in the field and coolness under fire were considered sufficient to merit such an extraordi nary distinction. Whatever his services may have been, he was unquestionably more in debted to Captain Pen than Captain Sword for his promotion ; and, even in the Crimea, a far greater portion of his time was occupied in writing or dictating elaborate despatches than in looking after the comfort and welfare of the mighty army placed under his control. He was also of an amiable, gentle, and kindly disposition ; but, however valuable these qualities in private life, a Commander-in-Chief requires to be made of sterner stuff—to be a rigid disciplinarian, with an iron will—to enforce not merely obedience to his commands, but an unflinching and energetic dis charge of duty by all his aristocratic followers. The report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons will show whether that claim could be put forward on behalf of Lord RAGLAN I Nor was he without rewards, and those of a very important character. He was made a Field-Marshal and a Peer of the realm, and after his death a handsome pension was granted to maintain the dignity of that peerage. Another pension was also granted to his widow, and both Houses of Parliament recorded their sense of his services. Besides, he has a monument, and one of no ordinary character. His name stands first on the splendid testimonial to those of her MAJESTY'S subjects who perished during the late war. Surely that was no ignoble association. Surely such a position might satisfy the aspirations of the most greedy seeker after fame. We cannot, then, refrain from approving the refusal of her MAJESTY'S Government to en tertain the application, fully coinciding in the statement of Lord PANMIIRE that " a monument, whether erected in honour of a Statesman or a Warrior, should be erected in obedience to the opinion and approbation of the whole community, in order to render it of a nature corresponding to those services, of the highest character, which eitlr.r. a Statesman or a Soldier can perform." "More time" is now the demand of the oppo nents of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill. The nation, forsooth, has not had time to understand and appreciate the difficulties con nected with the question, and therefore a single month is required for the purpose. All the elabo rate discussions in the Lords—all that has taken place in former years goes for nothing, and it is ally now that it has come to the Commons that he People believe that Ministers are in earnest. Under such circumstances it was surely not too much to ask for one short month to enable them to make up their minds ! Unfortunately, how ever, the month requires, happened to be the last of the Session, and the success of the dilatory plea would involve the shelving of the question for another year, and the renewal of the rancorous and factious opposition in the Lords. The dodge was, therefore, only partially successful. Mr. HEN LEY'S motion was rejected by a majority of 87, bat so much time was sacrificed that the Attorney-General was unable at so late an hour to state the reasons in favour of the second reading. The matter was accordingly postponed to Thursday, the next Government day —Monday being devoted to Mr. DISRAELI'S mo tion respecting India, and a week, all but a day, was lost. It was rather rernatkable that the advocates for procrastination seemed to be thoroughly preparerl. They were literally " bristling with point e" "boiling over with arguments, while in tie energy of the appeal the perspiration exuded from every pore.". No, it was merely an ingenious de vice to reject the measure for the time being, and thus to get rid of the most important and jut rest ing question of legal reform ventilated during the present year. The country has had ample time to consider the project, and its approval has been unequivocally displayed in favour of the proposition, so far as it goes. The general feeling is, that it is a step in the right direction—a decided improvement in the existing law, but that it does not go far enough, and can only be received as an instalment of jus tice. It only generalises the legislation that in variably takes place in isolated cases every year, and authorises a competent tribunal to grant ap plications, which are invariably conceded ex debito justitice, whenever the petitioners have the means of going through the multifarious process now re quired ; extending the remedy from those who have thousands, to others who can only spare hundreds, but leaving the great majority of the sufferers still without a remedy, and in flicting most grievous injustice on injured wives of all classes and grades in society. We believe, however, that the present bill, de plorably defective as it is, may lead to further im provements ere long, and therefore we desire to see it carried. We believe that the arguments clearly and eloquently expressed by Lords LYND HUItST and BROUGHAM ; will have full effect on the national mind, and that the good seed thus sown will bring forth its fruits in due season. Justice— full, fair, and impartial justice cannot always be denied to the gentle sex. Their glaring wrongs, the flagrant grievances to which they are subjected will, sooner or later, be redressed, and full re ciprocity established. Nor will relief be restricted to the only cause recognised by the Bill. Lord Lismetuusx proved in a manner calculated to ' carry conviction to any disinterested and unpre judiced mind, that wilful desertion for a pro tracted period, or deliberate and wanton cruelty, which would render it impossible for the parti-s ever again to come together, should be sufficient to warrant a dissolution of the nuptial contract. There is one wed known case, where the parties have been separated for no less than 38 yews, without the slightest possibility of re-uniou t that should carry the clause suggested by the Nestor of the House of Lords. We - shall not strive to affix blame on either party, although, t. THE SU N, LONEON, SATURDAY EVENING J:trLY 25, I 7 perhaps, on investigation, it may be found that there were faults on both sides. Each has very ably vindicated their own character and conduct, and the publications that have taken place go far to prove that they were thoroughly convinced that their own conduct was full justified. We do not, then, allude to this unhappy case as the advocate of either party. We feel that each is entitled to commiseration and sympathy. We only use it as an example, to prove the necessity of some adequate remedy being enacted. These noble sufferers have, for more than half the allotted age of man, led joyless and solitary lives, brooding over what they believed to be their wrong?, and with out the most remote prospect of ever again coming together. Surely it would have been better for both their sakes, and on every prin cipie of justice and expediency to have provided for the complete dissolution of the inauspicious tie. We trust that every Liberal Member will be in his place on Thursday next, and that such opinions may be enunciated as will lead not merely to the passing of the present Bill, but to its further extension, and, above all, to the establishment of full and perfect reciprocity between the sexes, so that the injured party, whether male or female, may obtain complete relief. We have already stated our reasons for believing that the new tribunal would not often be resorted to by female petitioners, but if the wrong be so great, the insult so irreparable, that there is no chance of a reconciliation, we do not see that the victim should be chained to a dry and sapless log during her existence, and that every prospect of happiness and houour should be withheld. What a mercy that the seasons know nothing of politics. While we are quarrelling in the Houses of Lords and Commons ; at the King's Arms, Palace-yard, or the London Tavern ; firm ing and fretting alternately, with July glaring on bricks and mortar, or with the last provocations and irritations of prejudice and bigotry—all out side our seething and frying metropolitan world, sunshine and showers are doing what they can to make farmers good-tempered, and to cheer us, of the town, with the hope of a cheaper quartern loaf. A day or two's escape through one of the best cultivated districts of England has just forcibly reminded us that there is something else iu the world than Indian Mutinies, Committees of Sup ply, Jew Bills, Divorce Bills, and the Dogged Days of legislative bigotry. The dog days among the corn fields and the dog-days in Loudon and West minster are, as many of our readers know—we wish all of them did—very different things in deed ; and the former, beyond all comparison, the better. To be crossed and thwarted, with the thermometer at 80 degrees, no wonder that senators snap and bite each other such nights as these ! As to prejudice and bigotry being ever cured while Fahrenheit ranges between summer heat and blood heat, it is really out of the question. What bigot could have patience for it under such pressure upon mortal infirmity ? Can't we, if ROTHSCHILD, RUSSELL, and DILLWYN should not after all get through their business this session, can't we contrive to send a Jew Bill to the Lords in pleasant, genial spring weather, and just take the chance of a smiling season ? Is it quite fair every season to heat the tempers of their lordships just when they hardly know how to keep them, because the sun himself shines on them from Cancer ? Well, as we have said, let us be thankful that the seasons are of no politics. Whether the Jews are kept out or get in, whether the Legislature is Christian or unchristianised, the president of the seasons keeps on his course ; and we are most happy to see that ho is discharging his duties most efficiently as well as impartially. In some parts we see straw rather short, and barley, especially, ripening somewhat prematurely, but respecting the wheat crop as a whole, there can be but one opinion—that it will be above the average. F onaers themselves, waiv ing their old and proverbial privilege., confirm the testimony of our own eyes. Of course there is the one uncertainty of a wet harvest ; for to the last in this climate . of ours, we are kept mindful of our dependence on Thu whom we do not wish to forget. The harvesting arrangements of modern farming do, to be sure, sornewhatlesson the risk from wet weather ; and the perfection of modern win nowing machines, saves us from the " soft loaf" invariably following a wet harvest fifty years ago. Still, one of 'the great agricultural desiderata is, some plan which will allow a whole field to be cut in wet weather and placed under secure pro, tection for drying. How can so much bulk be covered from external wet and dried, if damp— the agriculturist will reasonably ask. True, it does seem impossible. So did steam threshing and reaping machines, and other machines too, within the recollection of thousands of farmers ; and perhaps this generation may yet see us little concerned about a wet harvest. Let but attention be directed to the subject, let some very cheap mode of temporary waterproof covering for large spaces, or for numerous small stocks be de vised ; and some means be invented of cheaply drying large and bulky substances, and the thing will be done. Our " fickle clime" will then have ' little effect on Mark Lane when once the crops have ripened. Apropos of the country and agriculture, we ob serve that just now the Royal Farmer , and the 1,,yal Farmers have been entertaining and instruc ting themselves at Salisbury, with the Royal Agricultural Society's show. The display of im plements is very much to the credit of both farmers and manufacturers. The latter would not make the coatly efforts they do, were there not a rapidly growing demani for improved machinery among the former. The farmers are the consumers, who stimulate the inventors. Boy])Ent's self-acting railway, combined with BURRELL'S Fraction engine, seems to have per formed splendidly ; mounting a hi:l of some length, at a gradient of 1 in 12, and even 1 in 7, with great ease, and with a total weight of seventeen tons ! All kinds of machines for threshing and winnowing; for hoe ing, weeding, and even thinning turnips ; for making hay or for making cheese ; indeed, for almost every operation of husbandry were abun dantly exhibited. The two grand objects of agri cultural inventors are, however, the steam plough, and the most perfect reaping machine. The for mer object is every year more and more likely to be attained. Already, in the opinion of compe tent judges, the different patents comprehend ad vantages which, if they could be combined in one, would be likely to place the steam plough along side the steam threshing machine, as an acknow ledged and indispensable agricultural implement. Reaping machines are already sufficiently perfect for use ; but we must again give the palm to America in this department. A machine, bear ing the ambitious or the patriotic name of "The E igle," for combined mowing and reaping, and which had won a prize of 2001. after three days' trial list year in Massachusetts, has won the prize here also, for mowing at least. Its merit appears to be simplicity. It dispenses with all the array of cogged wheels which we see on similar imple- ments yet invented, and cuts the grain by the least artificial movements. Evidently, the time is aproaching when farming will become almost as dependent on tlaa coal-mine as cotton spinning ; and, when adoption of the latest mechanical inventions will be as essential to making fortunes by agriculture as by manufac tures. The fundamental demand, or what ought to be so, of the farmer, is, however, still scarcely re garded. Manure, though not the most pleasant or entertaining of topics, is unquestionably the farmers first want. Already he fetches it from every part of the earth, and ships-of-war are demanded to watch over his much-prized guano ; but he has been also told, again and again, that annually he wastes at home many times the value of all the guano imported into the country. The inhabitants of a country where the people live on cereals, stand in the same humble relation to their food as the inferior a.nim)l4. What is nearly wasted and lost in every village, town and city of the kingdom, or too often left to accumulate offensively and injuriously to health, would, if collected daily and removed daily, produce suffi cient grain for the wants of the population. This is now matter of simple demonstration. When will the simple means be devisal to make it matter of fact ? With perfect town and agricul tural drainage, and with perfect utilisation of our sewage, England would be the most fertile and the healthiest country in the world. MR. DISRAELI'S MOTION.

Last night Mr. Wigan formally took leave of the public which had assembled in great force to cele brate his benefit with appropriate honour. At the end of the second piece he came forward, amid loud and encouraging cheers, the expression of his coun tenance bearing witness to the depth of his feelings on this really solemn occasion. After a short pause, during which ho collected himself with some diffi culty, he spoke as follows : "Ladies and Gentlemen,—l appear before you this evening under the influence of strong feelings —feelings of mingled pride, gratitude, an I regret. This has been . announced as a f arewe ll b ene fit, but it is not the farewell of the outworn vete ran, retiring in the natural decay of his powers to the leisure fairly earned by long service. It is the leave-taking of . one stopped sh or t i n mid-course— in the moat vegoreus time of lite—campeded to retire from management wh e n most s uccess f u l, and from acting when in the full enjoyment of your favour and approbation, by strange and un foreseen illness. But with pain at this unlooked for close (for the present, at lea-t) of my manage rial and pi ofe-,sional career are .blended pride and gratitude for the favours so liberally bestowed upon me for years pist, and so nobly crowned this even ing. I have had the honour of managing the Olympic Theatre for four years, or, more strictly speaking, for three years, f r during the whole of the present season the active business of manage ment in every department has devolved upon my wife. During that period ten pieces have been got up and pro lured under her sole sup e ri n t e nd ence , and I trust you will not attrit ute it to a husband's partiality performed her task well and under circumstances has ci performed mstances of diffi cultypecpeculiar and bravelyd e nds say on. Th a t the p u bli c has b e en if I depression. ;i satisfied with her exertions is best proved by that most satisfactery of all tests—the balance-sheet. The result of the season has been prosperity and profit, where disaster and loss must have been looked fir had I not possessed so able and iu def .tigable a substitute. She can no longer sup port the fatigue,' excitement, and anxiety of such exertion without risk, and I am therefore com pelled to retire until I may again be able to take my share of labour. The course I have adopted during my management has, I am proud to think, raised the Olympic Theatre to a high posi tion in public favour, and I can look back and fear lessly say that its success has been honestly and fairly won by hard and well-directed work. When retrospect le WE'S this feeling, no wonder that part iug from the theatre and from you, its indulgent patrons, should be very painful. But on painful feelings I will not dwell. After surmounting the many difficulties in the way of firmly establishing this theatre as a place of rational and harmless amusement, I shall, on the 7th of next month, re linquish all connection wi, h it; but I shall always feel a warm interest in its fortune, and a sincere wish that it may long enjoy the success that has hitherto attended it. I have now a large debt of thanks to pay to the gentlemen of the newspaper press, for the fairness and the good -nature of their criticisms upon the performances at this theatre, and also for the warm and cordial sympathy which they have expressed with my present position ; to the comuir tee of friends who have done me the great honour to associate their illustrious natnea with mine ; to the authors who have written for me ; and to my company generally, not only to my brother actors for their zealous and loyal co-operation (more especially during this last season, under the direction of my wife), but to every one employed in the theatre, down to the humblest artisan ; and above all, my warm thanks are due to the public, whose support has so generously rewarded my exertions. For myself, should the blessing of health be iestored. to me—and I will look forward hopefully—l may again be able to contribute to your amusement, when I trust that, by keeping to the same course, the same result will follow—that success will be won by a sincere desire and an earnest effort to deserve it. But should my hopes bo doomed to disappointment—should this be my last appearance before you, I will carry with me to the end the memory of the great kindness I have always re ceived at your hands—kindness so warm, so sym pathetic, and so unvarying, that it leaves me scarcely able to pronounce that word which for me blends so much sweetness with so much sadness. But, linger as I may, it must be spoken ; a n d so , ladies and gentlemen, good friends and patrons, 1 most respectfully and gratefully bid you all fare well."

Her Majesty's despatch staamer Caradoc, bearer of a telegraphic despatch from London, via Turin, for India, arrived here on the 16th instant from Cagliari, and left again for Alexandria on the afternoon of the same day.

A telegraphic despatch just received here states that the Spanish Government, after some hesita tion, had accepted the offer of mediation in the Mexican question made by Lord How,len and the Marquis de Target in the name of their respective Governments. " A letter from London of the 22d," says the Pays, "makes known the following fact. A report from the commander-in-chief of the expedition to the Persian Gulf states that the English troops, which at the commencement of the campaign comprised an effective strength of 4,800 infantry and 700 cavalry, had been reduced on Ist June by sickness and the fire of the enemy to 3,227 infantry and 419 cavalry. In cons-quence of the latest ord?rs received from England these troops were to have commenced their embarkation for Calcutta on the 15th June. General Outram, before leaving, had received his nomination as commander-in-chief of the Bombay army. 0 The directors of the Bank of France have an nounced that the interest on sums advanced on public securities is in future reduced from 6 to 51 per cent. A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg says the Russian Government has reduced the interest of the Imperial Bank from four to three per cent. A petition to the Senate is in course of signature, praying for considerable alteration in the law on libel, with a view to increased severity. "A foreign journal," says the Pays, " speaks of serious disturbances which are said to have broken out at Rome between the French troops and the soldiers of the Pontifical army. The following is the real truth on the subject :—On hearing of the events at Genoa and Naples, some demagogues, seeing that they bad not the power of doing anything at Rome, sought to excite the Pontifical soldiers against the French troops, who have made themselves remarkable for their excellent conduct and admirable discipline. Colonel Yanni, who commands the Pontifical army since the death of General Farina, on hearing of these facts, adopted the most energetic measures, and with the exception of three or four isolated cases, which were speedily put an end to, and in which it was clearly proved that the French troops were not the aggressors, no disturbance has taken place. Every t dug was promptly put an end to, and the popu lation of Rome have had an additional proof of the good spirit of the French troops." The Emperor, the day before yesterday, at ten iu the morning, laid the first stone of a new build ing for baths at Plombleres, in presence of the municipal council, the clergy, and a large con- course of persons belonging to the town and neigh bourhood. The Emperor of Russia has sent to his legation at Paris a considerable number of decorations to be distribu el to the persons with whom the Grand Duke Constantine was in communication on his recent visit to France. The Ministry of War (says the Union) is engaged on a list of promot , ons to reward services rendered in the late expedition against the Kabyles. It is said that General M temahon will be merle a Mar shal, General Bonrb ,ki appointed General of Divi sion, and Colonels de Margadel and Desmarets made Generals of Brigade.

The committee appointed to by the allegations contained in three petitions against the return for the county of Huntingdon, assembled this morning for the first time in committee-room No. I—Mr. Cobbett in the chair. There was a double return at the last election, Mr. Fellowes and Mr. Heath cote polling the same number of votes. One peti tion was from Mr. Fellowes, complaining of the iinpr3per reception and rejection of voters on the part of Mr. Heathcote, and praying for the seat. The second was of a similar character from Mr. Heathcote ; and the third petition from the elec tors, charged bribery and undue influence. It appeared that at the last election Mr. Rust and Mr. Fellowes, the old representatives, offered themselves for re-ele et ori, and Mr. HeathHeathcote offered himseif as a candidate for one of the seats. The election took place on the 2d of April, and at the cone! ision of the poll, the numbers were declared to be for Mr. Rust, 1,192 ; Mr. Fellowes, 1,106 ; and for Mr. Heathcote, 1,106. The petition for bribery, &c., was withdrawn, and the inquiry con sequently resolved itself into a scrutiny, in conse quence of the equality of votes polled by Mr Fel loves and by Mr. Heathcote. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin states that several persons have been arrested in various towns of Tuscany, on the charge of being implicated in the late insurrec tion at Leghorn. It also quotes letters from Parma, stating that several attempts had been made to in duce the people to rise, but without success, the Mazzinian party being totally extinct there. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa has the fol lowing from Pisa, 1.90 :—" Twenty-six of the insurgents arresteddlikteghorn are to be sent to Lucca to be judged by the Supreme Court ; the others will be subjected to certain measures of police. The police of Leghorn having dis covered that the constitutional party there had resolved to appoint a deputation in order to express to the Government their abhor rence of the Mazzinian schemes, but at the same time to pray for the re-establishment of the consti tution, Chevalier Bargagli, the governor, prevented this step by informing the leading men of that party that the Government duly appreciated the excellent sentiments which animated the popula tion of Leghorn, but that no manifestation would be allowed, since it would be contrary to law." A letter from Milan in the Augsburg Gazette states that from inquiries made by the police it has been ascertained that Mazzini was at Milan some time ago, but promptly set out again for Como, and crossed the Swiss frontier disguised as a miller driving an ass before him. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. In a postscript to a letter from Corfu, dated the 14th inst., we read :—" The post is just going out. I hear that the denunciation and rejection of " the Foreigner" by our Assembly has been received, in ZAnte and Cefalonia with hurrahings by the Clubs and sunny smiles by the priesthood." THE DIVORCE BILL.—We are given to understand, on high authority, says a contemporary, that a petition has been framed by the Rev. Christopher Wordsworth D.D., canon of Westminster, and is being circulated among the clergy. against the Divorce Bill, particularly that clause of it which compels the clergy to celebrate marriages of adulterers. ft has already received nearly 2,000 signatures of clergymen, many of High Church views, several of their opposites, and a respectable num ber of men of no party, but of high station in the mime try,—Morning Roca* GREAT YARMOUTH. The committee re-assembled this morning and .roceeded with the evidence. A witness named William Lark deposed that the day before the election he saw Chester canvassed by Mr. Livingstone, an alleged agent of the sitting member. Livingstone came to witness and asked him to direct him to Chester's workshop. He did so. A window in Chester's workshop looked into the passage leading to it, and as it was broken, warless could bear what passed between him and Livingstone. He heard a conversa.i n be tween them about the payment of 141., which Livingstone said Chester would never have heard anything about had it not been for the election. Livingstone also said it was a great thing for a poor man, and that if Christie doubted his word, if he would call on him in the evening after he had left work he would pay him the money. Livingstone then left, and in the evening witness saw Chester go in the direction of Livingstone's. On the following day witness met Chester, and said to him, "You had a good haul last night," when Chester laughed ; witness added, 4 ' Pcople are talking very much about it, and if 1 had only half as much again' I should keep my m. uth shut." Chester replied, " Ah, I have got a notion who has been talking to the other party," and walked away. On the cross-examination of the witness, he denied that he offered to conceal what he said f o r 5/., notwithstanding he hail been very unfor tunate, and owed between 80/. and 901. GLOUCESTER (CITY). The Committee re-assembled this morning at the usual hour. Several witnesses were examined with a view to prove bribery, by the payment of money, rent, &c. IPSWICH. The Committee met this mr,rning at 11 o'clock. The first witness examined was Walter Cowell. He was in Mr. Adair's committee-room on the poll ing day, looking at the list for his own ami s ment. At Mr. Head's request he went to the bank with an order in an envelope, when the bankers gave him 50/. in gold, which he put into a bag and gave to Mr. Head. There was no secrecy about the matter ; he gave the bag openly to Mr. Head in the presence of many people. He was not told not to say anything about it. He did not know for what the money was required. MARKET NEINS,—(Mis Day.) COVENT GARDEN. Large supplies of fruit and vegetables were on sale to• day, and the trade ruled steady, as follows : FRUIT.

Yesterday was published a copy of some very im portant correspondence which has passed since the Ist of April, 1856, belWeen the Court of Directors of the East India Company and the Board of Centro], and between the said Court and the Governor- General of India in Council, relating to the num ber of European troops in India. The return Was moved for by Mr. Seymour, M.P., and ordered hi the House of Commons to be printed on the 20th instant. The paper opens with a let!er from the Governor-General of India to the Directors, of the Court in L ea d en h a ll s t ree t (d a ted t h e an of April, 1856), informing them of the great pressure for officers for detached employment in, India, and of the consequent necessity that was fe l " by the Indian Government of urging the Hon. Court of Directors to supply the existing vacancies of ensigns in the fixed establishments of regiments , and to appoint nupernumerary cadets of infantry t° the Bengal eetablishrnent to the extent of two for each regiment, or for the three European regimen ci ° 12, and for the 74 native infantry reg i men ts I' o 7 making in all 160 cadets. The Directors, in their reply (Sept. 10), admitted the urgency of the Wan t ' and were willing to send supernumerary c adets al an immediate measure of reli e f ; b u t th e y o b s erve° that the mere appointment of one or more officers to the rank of ensigns would not be the remedy re" quired to meet effecteally the present (September' 1856), exigencies of the Indian army. Th.y.cOrre' borated this their opinion by a reference to dictum, of the late Sir C. J. Napier. In the preset°, state of the finances the Court of Directors co' only (they said) sanction the appointment o f one additional captain and one additional lieutenant every regiment of Native Infantry and Cavalry ci a thc regular formation in the three Presidencies, on of tw , additional captains and tw o lieutenants to each European regiment. The Directors opine d : moreover, that the native regiments of the lin should always have present with them for r e :, giurental duty in time of peace 1 for command, eligible for command of companies, and 2 digit ' for regimental staff, besid es th e y oung ens i gns trans ing f. , r their duties ; and that in rime of war el avail dale officer detached from the re giment Ce p Waif employment should forthwith rejoin it. 1 ; will be seen from thes e p a p ers t h at as ear ly as months ago an urg-nt representation was made the Government of India of the paucity of BO; pean officers in that empi re . Th en follows scnilof correleortd•ince about th e t ransm i ss i on to Inds► relief regiments. An important minute of the Governor-General of India i n C ounc il , dated 7th of Febru try, 1857, refers to th e current p er gala expedition, which would reqeire a large f",, r ilo of European troops, and his Excell enc y aslo to pertinent question, " Whence are these regunel l t , to be drawn, and what reserve will remain av e es able for further diauehrs after they have be taken 7" The Governor-Gene ra l g oes on to sb of that the whole force muse be supplied fr i ° o , Bengal. "The European strength of • the t i l , dian army," he co n ti nues , " re d uce d by D'i withholding of two r e gim en t s of Qtle' of Infantry, on account of the exigencies the Russian war, has not been made good. • do " The army of I n di a i s no t es t a bli s h e d upon 0,5 li t calculated to meet the drain of a war carried. nn o t a distance of 2,000 mtles from its s h ores , lcss e t . all its European fo rce , w h ch dries not achn" e d, ready increase." The Governor-G e n era l objeet o tiaerefore, to the withd rawa l o f more th an a ceri; o , force of European troops from Bengal, and he cy . quested her Majesty's Government at home to foe spatch the four regiments already announce 3 g eml , arcation iu the summer of 1857—three to B e d bay and one to Madras—trot two to Madras ,l e r two to Kurrachee, as desired by the Conanylol in-Chief. He also reque s t e d th e sen di n g nn three tlt more regimen's to Boml.ay (two ra° l3 ll later), and desired that the 10th and 29th Regime might be retained ny the Indian Government. yi d This minute of Lord C a nning was eind n lot with a full approval by Mr. Doris, the .0 10 member of the Council, who expressed his en d s concurrence in the expediency of demanding I° o/ a reinforcements from England o f E uro p e an tr ° and intimated his knowledg e o f th e f ac t that til e 9;l l' Governor-General of India (the Marquis of 0/ housie) was of opinion that " he had redune`;vii European force in India to th e l owes t p os sib!e jueti ed by ordinary prudence." It was prl o r by the Directors of the Company to the India last April to make arrangements for restoring tl t Queen's regiments of European infantry nl'ato estableehnient of India to the number of 24 - " t af number maintained since the year 1842. In last it was deemed expedient to send out fouro imen , s to India without delay, making wit elf 2d and 3d, Dragoons, already ordered out, a seer of six ree ' iments.
