There was a manifest determination last night to obstruct itg progress, key no means creditable to the parties concel ned. A very decided imiqritY-63, when 317 Members were present , rejected the adjourn ment.of the debate, but this motion was renewed in a different form, and the Government Were eventually compelled to yield. It is surely time 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. I; had been carried through the Upper House by unequivocal majo rities. It ha 1 been fully discussed in all its &Will, and every pssible opportunity was Lion to defeat the measure. But all i n va i n. The principle triumphed, and it was sent do svn 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 assume 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 -ome persons, be deemed factious oppo sition ; 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-GENFRAL 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 ono, 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 passing 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 so 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 t'ie injured civil servants will, if they do not receive compensation 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 secsred the ser vices of so faithful and efficient an advocate as Viscount NA asawho has immeasurably advanced his Parliamentary reputation by his conduct on the occasion. The conjectures of the Morning Post, to which we gave insertion yesterday, as to the fons 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 preaching 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 most 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, bad just hold a Conference, in which, of course, they regarded the outbreak, from their own point of view, as a religious one, and connected 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 he 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 its real authors are n o t known, but that then) is a con spiracy somewhere to upset the British power is no w manifest to most. In seeking to accomplish their wicked purpose they have most dexterously s 3 likely to Q at religious motive, than which none was affect the Sepoys, who are for the most part high caste men, or Mahommedans." He goes on to show how their religious prejudices way have become naturally awakened by the pro ceedings of Missionaries and the Government. " There cannot be a doubt that fur some time imp:esiion has been widely spread. that st foundation labours epahistainanity will supplant Ilti)iendziusranci for • thiS_ i o n f rpr s s missionariesna d b :o v f e a r i4 w t d c o . rar b a e y : u a s i cit g a u t i e l t ay at; aitailet ciario now ininLinZ THE SUN, LONEON, FIRIDAY EVENING JULY 31, 1857. us. But more than these, ty far, 'a the effect of the college education now so widely given, to gether with the recent grantsin aid by Govern ment, and the enactment of laws permitting th re-marriage of widows, and the suppression of polygamy. It is no unusual thing with the natives 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, &c., 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, disziplined 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 being prevented 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 Brahminism. 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 months since, the Government issued orders for the use of a new kind of cartridge — , u pted to the English rifle. This cartridge it is nei.....ssary to grease. It happened, unfortunately, that proper care was not taken in the translation 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 Hindoo, 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 ! 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 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 been going on between the Sepoy regiments horn Cal cutta to Lahore, some of which has been seized." Then the time selected marks the hands of con- spirators : " But it is fine for me to put you in possession of the sentiments of the best informed on the pre sent crisis and matters connected with it. I speak, at least, the opinions of the Calcutta Mission Con f ranee, 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 othi-r 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 ASHEURNIIIM in China, and describes the popular 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 diameters. 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 capab!e. Whee 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, while the infuriated soldiers were killing their officers, lac., and burning their houses, he did nothing, gave no orders, and so let the Sepoys get off unpunished. He had with him the largest force (European) found at any station in this part of India. All this is ascribed to the system in vogue." The last sentences of the letter are well worthy of general attention, we need not add to them comments of our own. "If India is to b 3 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 revislt4 Depend upon it there is much discontent among all classes, and there is abundant reason for it. More this time is wanted. More English troops— fe wer 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 CfIARLES BONAPARTE. 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 bad 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 be has long suffered, w as at once sent by telegraph to the Em peror at the camp of Chalons-sur-Marne. M. ld, 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. He was corresponding member of most of the learned academies of Europe and America, and his works on natural history, and particularly ornithology, at • 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. THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH,—QUEENSTOW'N, Thurs day.—The Agamemnon arrived this morning. The paying-out experiments between Dover and Queenstown have been perfectly success!ul. It is hoped the expedi. tion will sail for Valentia late on Saturday. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's st,.am-ship Camila arrived this morn ing from Liverpool, having been lengthened 30 feet amid ships. She will proceed to India via the Cape on the 15,h pr.( ximo. The store ship Alhambra left this morn ing for London, to ❑ndergo repairs. The steam-ship Umnburgh arrrived from ilamburE, , b. She will lea's-a th-raomw for the Spariieb port:. LATEST N E A telegraphic despatch received yesterday at Trieste from Constantinople says a note signed by Lord Stratford de Redcliffa and M. Thouvenel demands-1. That the Porte shall decree the banishment of the judges who condemned the Jew lately ex?cuted 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 corre3pond. with that you have pub lisped 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 aclually occurred, but that which they hoped and expected would take place." FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. The ad interim , administration of the Finance department, which bad bean 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 .rs of the Bank of France have rejected to-day the proposi tion for lowering the rate of disc9unt tie 5 per cent. This resolution caused heaviness at the c'ose 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 iu the Nord states that th• four powers, France, 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 i contrary to the decisions of the congress of Paris, 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 ben fixed for the 6th and 7th August before the Court of As4ize,s. The judge who is to 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. Rivollet, and M. Lacan, ita undertake their defence—the first-named acting for Bartolotti, the second for Tibaldi, and the third fir 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. BOURSE, 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 resolution caused heaviness at the close of business. The following were the last quotations : Cash. tr. c.

O n th e 21 s t they boarded a British steamer in company with the English consul, and searched her minutely, but without result.

The Council of State and the National Coun cil of Switzerland have been lately engaged in the considera ion of different questions con nected with the measures of defence which had been adopted in anticipation of a war with Prussia. A atm of six millions out of the loan of twelve, which has not been made use of, is to be immedi ately reimbursed. The question of the fortifications which had been raised at Bala and at Eglisau was brought under consideration. Some membuti 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 p)stal convention between France and Prussia are about to be resumed under more f - vourabl3 auspices. „Thu 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 interest. Colonel Fries, 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 st ates that upwards of 1,000 men had been embarked at Cadiz for Cuba, and that more were about to be despatched there. From Malaga, Barcelona, San tander, Corunna, and other ports, troops also were it says, being sent to that island ; and it adds that in September, when the excessive heat of Cuba shall have passed away, large detachments are to go there, as are a'so some vessels of war. The object of this arrangement, sap the Epoca, is to be prepavd for every eventuality. THE NEXT DESPATCH FROM INDIA.—The inquiry now is—When may the next India mail be expected 1 Jok 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 spatch of the present mail, the authorities in India wilt have made an effort to transmit the intelligence by means of the steamer from Au,tral'a en route to Suez, This ve3sel—the European—would be due at Point de Gaffe on the 11th of July (assuming her to have left Sydney on the 15th of June, as advertised), and Aden on the 22d of July ; so that, in the event of a steamer being despatched from Bombay to the latter place, news to about the Bai or 9th of July, or a week later than that just brought, might be received here, via Marseilles, about the sth August. There is elO a Russian means of communication by posts from Khiva, by semaphore from the Caspian to Moscow, and thence by electric telegraph.

Debats takes advantage by the marriage of Princess Charlotte of Belgium to draw the atten tion of tbepublic to the remarkable position attained by the house of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha iu 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 c'oser the political union of Great Britaia and Austi ia. We extract the following passages : " The King of the Belgians is a prince of the house of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, which has beeorne great and powerful within a space of 30 years. He is the uncle of Prince Albert, husband of Queen Vitoria. The numerous children of the Queen are Coburgs. Apart from the near relationship existing between the two Royal families of Ma;land 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' Groat Britain and Belgium ; but with this difference, that the Coburgs of England will preserve the Protestant faith of tlieir fathers, while the Coburgs of Belgium will be Ca tholic, like the French Princess, their another. 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 faiends of the King or Queen of England they will reflect on that nation the greatness and power for NS leech they are indebted to their numerous alliances. At the present moment, King Leopold, who is so closely connected with the Queen cf England and the Emperor of Austria, would be au 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. Ou the contrary, Piu , sia, 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 Cowederation 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 Europa were menaced. Ara we to consider the family alliances of the Royal House of Belgium 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 hese alliances." REMOVAL OF THE COURT TO SCOTLAND.—The Qleen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Royal Family arid 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 he conveyed into ScoVaud.

CHELSEA NEW BRIDGE BILL.—It will he remembered that the hill for the abolition of the toll on Chi Lea new bridge was referred to a select committee, with the con sent of Sir B. Hell, who was appointed chairman of the committee. At the first and only meeting of the committee it has been managed to shelve the bill I The - Vauxhall and Battersea Bridge proprietors a.,- peared 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, Sir Benjamin Hall (whose lensicess 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 ax raordinary an agitation. There must be 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 iard 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 the Improvement Committee of the Corporation, but that failed in con sequence of the large amount (200,0000 required, and the ;indisposition of the Government to render any financial assistance to the corporation in the event of an agreement being entered into. 300,000/. is now wanted for the bridge, and the policy of advancing this sum jointly on the part of both bodies formed ono ele inent in the discuesiou of yesterday. The best feeling, it is understood, exists between both bodies, and if the directors will but consent to moderate their terms, the t 11 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, PICTUBSS, &e.—Lord Campbell's bill for suppressing the trait° in of books, Fints, drawing, &0., proposes to empower a justice of the peace upon complaint made before him upon oath, that the complainant had reason to believe, and dots believe, that ar.y such articles ore kept in any house, shop, or room, for sole or distribution, to issue a search warrant (which may be enforced if necessary by braking open doors, &c.), and if Lew!, to order the same to be burnt or destroyed.

The committee assembled for tle first time tliis morning—Sir J. Y. Buller, Bart., in the chair—to consider the petition against the return of Mr. P. Somers fel. 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 petitioner, 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. Wellswere candidates at the last election, that Mr. Glover was return«l 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 treat. ieg. 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. Itodwell for the sitting members. 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 president, 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 bearing k ome further evidence, the com mittee ordered the doors to be closed with a view to consider their decision. The Committee, after a lengthened deliberation, came to the conclusion that Mr. J. C. Cobbold was duly elected. AMERICAN VIEW OF TfrE INDIAN MUTINY. If, with all its many faults and shortcomings, 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 not to the esteem, at least to the respect of the woild ; 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 Tamerlance or the munificence of the Great Mogul. The administrative talent which has enlisted a f,rce 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, anti Lag ennvortocl a feeble andxtusillanimous race, debased by ages of slavery and of caste into brave and hardy soldiers, is clearly of no mean order. The chairs which have retained the sepoy steadfast in his allegiance to the Company " whose salt he eats," in all changes of war and time, from Plassey to Gujerat, 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 Addisconsbe 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, re dress his grievances, dissipate Lis 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 scene 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 "Kompauee Sahib," who does not carry a letter to somebody f. om somebody, securing him somebody'sinfluence to get an appointment on somebody's staff, or spe ci it service of some sort, in which he " may have an opportunity of distinguishing himself." Or his father sends to Lord So-and-so, 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 ou 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 foot - , have unlia,ppi!y 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, snrveyins, engineering, negotiating, re forming, edifying, judging. The remainder feel the regiment to be but a stepping-stone to some thing else, or, in arisocratic jargon, " a bons." The Sepoys are left to their devices, and are yearly getting more and more firm undtr the moral in fluence of their European superiirs. A foolish re poet 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 ew York Times.

ESCAPE.—As the wife of Sir W. E. C. Cooke, of Wheatly-hall, near Doncaster, was going out for a drive in her brougham, with a fine 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 polo, frightened the other horse, on which both started off at a furiona e rate in the direction of a sunk fence in front of the'. hall. The coachman, how ever, managed to pull the animals round a little, when they rushed towards 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, wa, torn off and dashed into the carriage, just missing the heal 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 lex, 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 sma , hteg the carriage. Several of the servants from the ball inn tuediatsly ran up to s x.ericate their mistress from her perilous posHon, when they found she had quietly kept her seat all the true, and bad not sustained the slightest it . jury. The feotman on the bc x also escaped i n j ury, but was taken down in a terrible fright, his hair literally standing on end.. Lady Cooke at once ran to the coach.

The bankrupt is a re spectable tradesman in the Harrow Road, and his assets are estimated to realise 30s. in the X. ; but as to the bankrupt's exertions to get in his debts, he thought it prudent to have his debts collected under the persuasive influence of this Court.

MARLBORO UGH-STREET. DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF CHILDREN WITH G UN POWDER. —Loss OF LIFE.-1118 day a youth named Williams was charged before Mr. Bingham with setting light to a quantity of gunpowder, and causing an ex plosion to the danger of the public. Police-constable C 126, stated that he was last night in St. James's-square, when he saw the prisoner strike a light with a lucifer-match. He went towards him and saw that be set a light to something on the ground near the railings of the square. The prisoner saw him (wit ness) approaching him, upon which be put his foot on the light. At the moment he did so some powder blew up. Mr. Bingham—There was an explosion, then Policeman—Yes, sir ; there was a loud explosion. Inspector Park, C division, stated that boys were in the habit of flinging in the air what they call maroons. These consist of a quantity of powder tied up in a piece of linen. They set a light to them, and a loud explosion takes place. A few days ago a young woman in service in Bolton-street, Mayfair, lost her life through one of these missiles. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. }lngham observed that it was a very dangerous praotice, that this time he should mitigate the fine he was liable to. and if it occurred again he would increase the fine. The prisoner was fined ss. OBSTRUCTIONS NEAR THE ITALIAN OPERA HOUBE.

THAMES; AN OPPORTUNE DISCOYRRY. BURGLARY Palk VENTED.—John Jackson, a well-known thief and burglar who has not been long out of prison and was, last trie& at the Clerkenwell Sessions, convicted an d sentenced to six months imprisonment for lead stealing was brought up on the following charge:— Mr. William Joseph Glinister, grocer and Cheese' monger, of No. 11, Clark-street, Stepney, stated tbat he had been on a visit to his brother in the saws busine-s, near Stepney Church, last night, and was returning home about eleven o'clock when 9 neighbour said, "I think there are some thieves in your house Mr. Glinister." He was about to enter his house, when the door of a shed ed• joining was opened, and the prisoner and another n3ell rushed out and ran away. He pursued them and called out " Stop thief," and observing the prisoner was stop' ped, he went after the other thief, hut was unable to overtake him. On returning to the house, which is separated from the shed by a paved yard, he found an entry had been effected by placing a pair of steps against the back of the dwelling-house, breaking a pane of glass in the window of the first floor, and putting baok the catch, which he made fast before he left the house. , The window was raised. He afterwards found four pairs of scales and a brass weight behind the door of the shed from which the prisoner and his Com' panion made their escape.
