It was the Government last night on the third reading of the excuse of one of the opponents that it would not Militia Bill.

Let us recall attention to some of the r üblic service. These general promises are, the chief points of the incontroverted and incon however, easily made, and aro but too seldom trovertible evidence set forth in various reports, thonght of afterwards, until Parliament is again and to the recognised principles of legislation sitting to enforce the necessary proceedings.

T 111 E SUN, LONEON, TRID AY 7 EVENINGL, struction of fortified places, and other much required works. The simple fact that a great proportion of the Sappers previously em ployed by the Company, had deserted and were now with the mutineers at Delhi, proves the im- perative necessity of strengthening that im portant, and we may say, invaluable arm at the scene of action. It has been announced that ten thousand militia men are to be forthwith embodied. This is good so far as it goes, but we fear that it falls far short of meeting the exigency. Thirty thousand regular troops have been, or are about to be, despatched to the East, and surely ten thousand militia cannot be regarded as an adequate substi tute for home defences. We believe that they would be very efficient, and might discharge the entire home duty, but at least double the num ber indicated would be required for the due and appointed task. We cannot forget that there are many difficulties still pending, and although convinced that the national enthusiasm would speedily supply everything required against any invasion that might be attempted, we should not leave anything to chance in such a case. Lord Palmerston has virtually admitted the force of this argument, by the reason assigned fdr keeping our steam line•of-bat!le ships lying up in ordinary, and of no immediate use. He declared that it would be inexpedient to send to the other end of the world the greater part of our naval force ; the fleet which circumstances occurring in Europe might, at short notice, render necessary for our defence at home. If there be any vali dity in this argument, if it he anything more han a plausible pretext, it is manifest that the further precaution of having garrisons capable of !fleeting any men who, eluding the vigilance of our fleets and cruisers, might contrive to effect a landing on the British soil, is absolutely essential. It appears also that the engagements embodied in the recent Treaty with Persia have not been yet fulfilled. Herat has not been evacuated. ft has been affirmed that additional troops have been despatched by Persia, and " great doubts Ire entertained of the good faith of Persia." If this be so, it requires no great stretch of imaina tion to ascribe it to the sinister- influences that excited the war, and we firmly believe fomented the military insurrection in India. Any cir cumstance may be taken advantage of by Russia, which can, at any moment, discover a pre text for war. It is, therefore., but a penny-wise and pound-foolish saving to encourage acts of aggression that might lead to an expendi ture tenfold, nay, a hundredfold more than that which would be required under more liberal con luct. The extra cost might properly be regarded is a premium of assurance that would be amply recompensed by the additional security conferred on the nation. But with great deference for Lord PALMERSTON, it seems to us that several of our large screw iine-of-battle ships might easily be spared Ind an effective channel fleet still maintained. Many of these valuable vo - 4..sels are lying up in ordinary, and it would take almost as much time r.o render them effective as it woulditto bring theta hack from another quarter of the globe. We fully concur in the efficiency of our navy as a protec tion to the coast; but surely, under such circum ,tances, far more than 2,000 additional seamen should have been voted by Parliament, and this was not the fault of either House, but of the Ministers who were granted all they asked for. Why not add 5,000 to our marines and marine artillery I They would serve both as soldiers and sailors in case of 'necessity, and would be found invaluable for any emergency. We may also ask, what of the gun-boAs ? Everything shows that they would be most useful in India and China, and yet a large number are lying by uselessly, while they might render the most valuable services. If we had them not there would be a universal outcry for their con struction at any expense, but having them we per mit the benefit to be neutralised, to gratify the red-tapist propensities of Sir CHARLES WOOD. And so the " Crowded Divellings' Bill" is with drawn, and preventible, pestilential disease is to remain undisturbed in its seats, and the infliction of preventible sickness and of premature mortality is to be maintained. The reason stated by Mr. CowrErt for the withdrawal of the bill was " the feeling that in the last week of a protracted ses sion the opponents of the measure had power more commensurate with their pertinacity than their ❑umbers. The opposition in the present instance had this peculiarity, that it came mainly from Hon. Members who represented those parts of the metropolis in which evasions of the law were the most frequent, and in which the greatest number of lodging-houses were found to the injury of health and the detriment of morality." We have not time to comment on the condition of the Commons' House and of its procedure, in which such an opposition from such a minority The measure is one of relief and emanci- pation. Unconstitutional ? Where could the lawyers, the metropolitan representatives, and the squires who set up the cry, have learned their law? In no institutional book ! Law pupils so mis- using the term would be plucked, in any proper examination now instituted, to keep out such ig norance. The substantive old common law is of the highest order, but it exists in vain for the want of a cheap summary procedure for its en forcement. We quote from the nearest legal state- meat, containing references to the authorities on the question. Thus it is decided " to be a common nuisance, and indictable, to divide a messuage in a town for poor people to inhabit, by which it will be more dangerous in time of infection."-2 Roles Abridg ment, 139.—Such indictment of one Brown for dividing a messuage in the village of Hertford was hell good, and he was put to plead to it ; and it was then said that such indictments are frequent in London for dividing of messuages/ " The Policy of the Common Law was en deavoured to be enforced by the statute of the 31st of Eliz., c. 7, which provided that there should not be any inmate or more families or households than one, dwellings or inhabitings in any one cottage, made or to be created, upon pain that every owner or occupier of such cottage, placing or wilfully suffering any such inmate or other family than one should forfeit 10s. for every month that such inmate or other family than one should dwell in it." This is a specimen of some of the Legis lation of " Good QUEEN BEss" for the protec tion of the labouring classes ; and we trust that similar and grateful mention may yet be earned for Queen VICTORIA. Later on, in our own times, " it was decided in the case of the KING. v. PEDLEY, 1834-Ist Adolphus and Ellis, 322: that if the owner of land erect a building which is a nuisance, or of which the occupation is likely to produce a nuisance, and let the land, he is liable for such nuisance being continued or created during the term. So he is if he let a building which requires particular care to prevent the occupation from being a nui sance, and the nuisance occur for want of such care on the part of the tenant. That if a party buy the reversion during a tenantry, and the tenant afterwards, during his term erect a nuisance, the reversioner is not liable for it ; but if such reversioner re-let, or having an opportunity to determine the tenancy, omit to do so, allowing the nuisance- to continue, he is liable for such continuance." Par LITTLEDALE J. "And such purchaser is liable to be indicted for the continuing of the nuisance, if the original re versioner would have been liable, though the pur chaser has had no opportunity of putting an end to the tenant's interest, or abating the nuisance." The production of typhus fever and the like diseases is the creation of a nuisance: The landlords of the disposition of Mr. BONHAM-CARTER, the Member for Winchester, should be reminded that property has its legal duties as well as its rights. The occupiers of the tenements at Newcastle-on-Tyne, which were so terribly visited by the cholera, and which, yet in all probability, especially require the application of the provisions of the Act, should have their attention directed to the exertions of the hon. Member to maintain the illegal impunity of their bad landlords. But the economical Lotions, or mere commercial views of the adminis tration of house property, entertained by the defenders of the filth, are almost as er roneous as their notions of constitutional Or le g islative principle. It has been found that when the class of tenements is question are put into a proper sanitary condition, and the attacks of sickness and the frequency of deaths are diminished, the frequency of long interruptions of rents is diminished. Tao most healthy houses pay the best rents is the owners, and the best rates to the parish. Taat the age .l Prime Mi nister should stay up to the last for the vigorous defence of this bill, (unsupported by Mr. SLANEY and other younger Members, who have talked much, but have this Session done little in sup port of the sanitary measures) is greatly to his credit ; but he would have achieved more if he had persisted to the last. But the cause needs the revival of the Health of Towns Association, to inform constituents of their interest, and to give warning on their betrayal under the cover of popular inattention, or misrepresentation in be halt of foul cliques of bad owners. The mail packet Colombo has just taken out 1,095,014 1 . in specie for India and China. This, we are told, was less than was anticipated ; the estimates amounting, in round terms, to twelve hundred thousand pounds sterling. This may be regarded as a regular drain, occurring twice in every month, which cannot be averted during the existence of the monetary code of 1844. There are also prospects of the Bank of France renewing the premiums for merly offered for gold, sa that we shall have to meet the double demand. Farewell, then, to the hope of cheap money or pecuniary ease for some time to come. Indeed, we may consid(r ourilelves well off if we are not called on to en dure a commercial crisis', of even greater intensity than that of 1847, before the end of the year. October is always a trying month, and there is no great degree of timidity manifested in wishing that it may pass without any extraordinary dis turbance in the Money Market. It is now too late to hope for any change during the present year. The Select Committee have suspended their labours without arriving at any conclusion, and if relief is to be obtained it can only be by the Government following the precedent of 1847, by suspending the unwise and impolitic restrictions that compel us to re duce our domestic circulation at the very time when it is of the utmost importance to have an ample supply. We can, however, hope for nothing beyond mere temporary expedients before next year, and even then no effectual relief will be granted, un less it be earnestly demanded by the people. The pressure from without must be strongly ap plied before Sir G. C. LEWIS will make any con cession. He is, however, made of sqtteez ible materials, and will yield t ) the proper amount of coercion whenever it is judiciously applied. The great mistake that has hitherto pre vailed, as well with the members of the C,)tn mittee as with the witnesses, is that they are " always bearing in mind the convertibility of the bank-note." "Inconvertibility," as it is termed, is the great bugbear that frights the isle from its propriety. In comparis )n with that the currency Tracks care nothing for the ruin of every perssn embarked in trade, commerce, cr manufacture, or the disemployment of labour of every kind and description. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands may be sacrificed at the shrine of the golden idol; but what signifies that, say the cold-blooded philosophers, 5..) long as the integrity of the standard is naaintained I We have tho authority of the Times for saying that, so far as our internal commerce is concerned, there is no necessity for the- deposit of a single . ounce of gold. The bypotlaecation of an adequate amount of Consols, or the fact that the notes I would be received in payment of taxes, would be quite sufficient to ensure their willing' reception by every tax-payer. The foreign trade may require bullion, but that could easily be provided for, although it were made an article of trade and purchased at its market price. The element of uncertainty, looking merely to the interests of foreign merchants, and throwing over those of our whole home population, would be far less than that occasioned by the fluctuations in the rate of interest and the purchasing powers of money. An additional issue of notes, particularly of those of small denominations, say for 11., 21., and 31., may alleviate our difficulties ; but we shall never place the matt-3r on a stable foundation until we get rid of the idol " convertibility," and establish a domestic currency that can neither be hoarded nor drawn off by foreigners. Our taxa tion furnishes the proper basis, and so long as that continues—and when can we hope for ex emption ?—thero is no chanea of the national inconvertible paper currency being neglected, or materially deteriorated in value. Gold and silver will be articles of commerce, which may be safely left to the skill and enterprise of our bullion dealers.. LATEST S . TRIESTE, AUG. 20. Mr, Murray has demanded from Persia the im mediate evacuation of Herat. Despatches from Monte Video state that, on the reiterated demand of France and England, the Government of Uruguay has just authorised the nomination of a mixed commission to arrange the claims of the subjects of those two nations. The Vienna correspondent of the Nord of Brus sels speaks of a letter which King Perdition 1 of Naples is said to have wri' ten to Queen Victoria, and in which he begs her Majesty to take pity on the unhappy inhabitants of Cirfu, and also to give instructions for the discontinuance of the horrible massacres and butcheries of rebels now taking place in India. Although the correspondent affirms that several high diplomatic personages had spoken of the existence of.this letter, he does not adduce any sufficient reason to show that such is really the case. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. General Windham has arrived in_ Paris on his way to Marseilles to embark for India, where, as already announced, he has been appointed to a high military command.

It is addressed to Count d'Oriolla, Prussian Mi nister at Copenhagen : • _ . _ " BERLIN, July 6. " The object of our despatch of the 20. h May, was to ascertain with greater clearness what were the tnten- tions of the g ivernment of the King of atomark relat.ve to the owl vocation of the States of LI )Istein. Yuur rxcel- llncy will find annexed the reply of the Minister Michel son, dated the 24th June. I cannot conceal from your excellency tha -, the declarations of the Cabinet of C ,pec hagen appear to bestill very vague, and not of a nature to slow of any certain conclusion being drawn relative to its intentions. The pniod for the us•nvonation of the States is moreover near, and the Government of the King "f Denmark will than be bound to act. Under these circumstances and in accord with the Imperial Gun of Austria, we have thought it most proper to wait f,r what the unequivocal language of facts will re veal. We can do so with the . conviction that we have never left al) , doubt in the mind of the Cabinet of Copen hagen as to the manner in which we vie,, the questions which are priding, and as to the resolutions which, ac cording to events, we may determine on taking. Your Excellency is authorised to leave a copy of this despatch with 111. Michelsen. " MANT.EUFFEL." Acc-rding to accounts from Dusseldorf, in the Deutschland of Vienna, a working tailor has barn arrested in that town, in consequence of informa tion received by the police from Hanover.

PIEDMONT. TURIN, AIIG.__I7. The Duke de Grammont, .at present French Minister at this Court, is nominate I •Ainbaisador at the Court of Rome. This appointment is lo ked upon here as a measure of great impottance, con sidering the well-known fe,-lings of Count Rayneval towards the Italian cause, and especially with re gard to the Roman question. The new French Minister at Turin is to be Prince Latour d'Auvenlne . ,, at present Minister at the Coors of Tuscany and Parma. With regard to Sardinia the Court of Rothe con tinues to evince its hostility, notwithstanding the complimentary MiSii6o/Of Chevalier Boncompagni to Bologna. The other day, for instance, theofficial Gazzetta di Bologna, speaking of the racept;on by the Pope of Mousignore Frauzoni, Archbishop o? Turin, who has been exiled by sentence of the tribunals for offences against the civil laws and against the present institulions of the country says In the last days, Miinsignore Franz.mi, Arch -- 1 bishop of Turin, one of the mostintrepidandzeslous defenders of the rights and privileges of tl.ie Roman Carbolic Apostolic Holy Sae, who cattle exprrss'v from his exile in order t perform an act of devoted homage , to the vicary of God on earth, had the honour to be received by the Pope, who received him with immense benigiiity and with the most singul.ir love." The Sariinian Government on its side has instructed Chevalier Boncomp:igni to avail himself of a leave of absence, which he has obtained of late, during the Limo that the Pope remains in the Tuscan capital. The tone of the Neapolitan Government hes be come of late more unfriendly to this Government. It is expected that dip'omatic relations will be broken off between the two Governments be'bre long. The SarAnan Government has of course made no remonstrance against the arrest of certain of its subjects by the Neapolitan aurhoritie , s for being on board of the Cagliari when she w.is cap captured.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS —Vie must nom unfortu nately give up any hopes of receiving an Australian mail until next month, for we learn by the telegraphic summary of the Indian overland mail that the Jura, which had waited at Abxandfia until the 6-.. h inst. for its arrival at Suez, had lest on that day with - a portion of toe B enhey mull for Southampt et, in order to be ready to take out the nex; wadi for the Australian colonies on the 12th proxeno.

In the Argus alone the correction of the iate does not appear to have been made.

The prosecutor, a seaman, was passing along Rateliff Highway this (rnning at half-past ten o'c:ock when the prisoner came up to him, stared him in the face, and made a snatch at his watch. It was, however, so well Itetened to the chain ano ring and othewise secured that the chain br ke and the prisoner ran away with it, the atch at the same time fallirg at the sailor's feet. Walker, a t iol.ce-co stable, No. 56 K, who had been watching the prisoner and saw the whole transaction, ran after him, and after a long chase overtook him and seiz3d him by the collar. The prisoner made a determined, resist ance, and Walker was compelled to throw him down, and with the assistanc3 of others secured the fellow, who was i , lentified by Roche, the gaoler of the court, as hav ing been in 114 mgt. dy for a felony five years ago, but he could not say waist was done with him on that occasion.
