To conclude with the Christy Minstrels. , Government General HAVELOCK'S congenial brother-in-arms here alluded to, being no other, of course, than General NEILL, the contriver of that ingenious punishment recently inflicted upon the miscreant-Brahmins who fell alive into our hands at Cawnpore, upon the very morrow of this inhuman butchery of so many helpless women and children ! That punishment being no other, it will be remembered, than the compelling them to wash out with their own hands the bloody evidences scattered here and there in damning stains upon the floors of those horrible slaughter-houses in Cawnpore—to wash them out upon their knees (lashed by the whips of our soldiery whenever they paused in these expiatory ablutions) preparatory to being hung like so many dogs within view of the graves of their un fortunate victims. Earlier in the revolt, moreover, had we not an augury of what was afterwards to be accomplished by our HAVELOCKS and NEILLS, in that match less deed of self-sacrificing valour by which Lieu tenant WILLOUGIIBY signalised to the native population of India the heroic resolution of which a British soldier is capable when driven to the last dread extremity Can it soon be forgotten, can it ever be obliterated from the pages of our Anglo-Indian annals, how that dauntless Com missary of Ordnance in the city of Delhi—seeing the impossibility of saving the magazine under his charge from the possession of the insurgent Sepoy multitude—rather than consent to its falling into the hands of the mutineers—coolly gave the signal for the match to be applied to that enormous mass of gunpowder, with all its accompanying store of projectiles and combustibles ! It is literally what NELSON himself would have done under kindred circumstances—rather than strike his flag, nailing it to the masthead, and going down all liands standing ! Young India is all the while alert in our behalf in the very heart of the rebellion, in the person of Col. HERBERT EDWARDES—that type of all that is at once heroic and sagacious in the army of Hindostan. EDWARDES and his fellows are already, or will shortly be, at the camp before Delhi, pre pared to act as we know well how they will act, whenthe time for action comes in that last crown ing struggle for vengeance upon those Pariahs of the Human Race, the violators of all laws human and Divine, the miscreants who have outraged all the sanctities of life, and who, consequently, there await the one penalty of their inevitable and collective extermination. Beyond all this—besides all these gallant sol diers, even now, at their posts of peril, prepared literally to "do or die"—is there not at this mo ment pressing onward rapidly to the scene of action, to assume the chief command, and to sound the trumpet-signal of attack upon the doomed city, when all his preliminary arrange ments shall have been rapidly completed—the "man of men" among them all, the heroic High lander who hastened at the first summons to ac cept the glorious responsibility of Commander-in- Chief ? Be sure of this we may be—sure of it we are—Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL will not leave us long in suspense as to the sequel of these events, so soon as he shall have reached his head-quarters before Delhi! Once there—the note of Victory will soon be audible ; and, what is more (after so many fearful atrocities), the terrible and thrilling note of Vengeance ! There is a monster to be destroyed ! An incubus that sits heavily on the national shoul ders, that paralyses our energies, and prevents the full development of our natural capabilities. It is red tapism 1 Every suggestion for improve ment--every scheme for the public benefit, is nipped in the bud by the monster. It is the " waiter on the threshold," the destroyer of every noble aspiration. Routine sacrificed Kars, and with it our prestige in the East. It occasioned the horrible massacre at Cawnpore, the terrible privations at Lucknow, and the fearful destruc tion of our gallant soldiers on the way to Arrah. It kept an effete general in command at Dinapere, produced the mutiny, and enabled the rebellious Sepoys to march off with guns and ammunition, to accomplish the work of destruction. It is still rampant at the Horse Guards, and prevents true-hearted Englishmen from affording the valu able aid which they are able and willing to ren der, if only permitted to do so. There are hundreds, aye, thousands and tens of thousands, of " Jame STEELES" in the country, who pine for the opportunities of distinction. But the regulations of the service interpose au insurmountable barrier. They must be either officers or privates ! They have, however, neither money nor influence sufficient to attain a com mission ; and they cannot consent to abandon their social position by entering, as private sol diers, under the existing regulations. We see It can scarcely fail to be otherwise theu at abundant evidence of the martial spirit, but un once consolatory and inspiriting, if we here sue- fortunately it receives no encouragement. In cinctly recal to general recollection the names of plice of tempting a superior class into the ranks, those who have already distinguished themselves our military red-tapists do all in their power to in the midst of this frightful and appalling ewer- prevent such a result ; and if an ardent eneliu , iast gency, consequent upon the sudden revolt of breaks through the trammels, he speedily receives 100,000 armed and disciplined rebels in Hindos- ample cause to repent the rash experiment. It is tan. Already there are very many gallant names not sufficient to be gifted with thews and sinews, to be enumerated—th e names of men who have with a dauntless heart and indefatigable energy. proved worthy of the occasion—men who have Something more is required.

They will not unite them selves to Brown Bess for life, when their educa tion and capacity hold out higher prospects. But let them see that there is a reasonable chance of preferment, that good conduct will meet its just rewards, and the yard measure will speedily be exchanged for the musket, and we shall find the class now ridiculed by the Times supplying many Bayards, knights without fear and without reproach, to the army. It is said that "England is not a military nation." But why ? What is the foundation for the reproach ? Simply because we repress the enthusiasm of the rising generation, make the higher ranks a mat ter of money, and the lower a degradation. In other nations, the middle classes are encouraged, or compelled to enter the army ; here they are virtually prohibited from doing so. It is kept either for the aristocracy or the very poor, who can content themselves with the gloomy prospects afforded. A French soldier may hope to be a Culonel or General. The highest aspiration of an English one is to become a Quartermaster or an Adjutant. The Times tells us that Exchequer Bills are no longer a popular investment, and suggests their total abolition—or rather, the funding of those now in circulation. It declares that " the faci lities that rendered them acceptable to bankers have been utterly eclipsed," and shows that " the first blow was inflicted by abolishing the regulation under which they were receiveable for revenue payments at any period after three months from their date of issne." The great blame is, however, justly cast upon Sir CHARLES WOOD and Mr. GLADSTONE for the depreciation of this very valuable instrument of exchange. The Ex chequer Bill has, indeed, been discredited by the experiments of incompetent or crotchetty finan ciers. Under judicious regulations there was no species of security more acceptable to bankers or capitalists generally. And why ? Simply because they knew that they could at any time be disposed of at par, in payment of duties or other liabilities to the national exchequer. The privilege was seldom, if ever, resorted to, for the power of holding Bank-notes that carried interest made them always quoted at premium. But when they were reduced to a discount the great induce ment failed. They used to be, and we believe still are, the means by which the balances of the Scotch Banks are adjusted, and thus became a most important element in the national cur rency. But they are now, crede the Times, to be withdrawn, in order to make money more scarce and dear, and still further to enhance the rate of interest. In place of withdrawing Exchequer Bills, the ' principle should be more fully developed. Allow them again to be paid in for duties or any public liabilities, and issue them for smaller and more convenient denominations. In place of thousands and hundreds, make them for tens and fives—aye, for one or two pounds. Then they will freely circulate from hand to hand, and become really valuable to the community. As it is, they are only useful to bankers or money dealers, but with the modification we have sug gested, they would be in general use, and in the hands of every man who had a sovereign at com mand. It was the laziness of a former comptroller of the Exchequer that led to the issue of large bills, and there is nothing but the direction of the Financial Minister required to bring about a change that would be in every respect beneficial— that would, create an extraordinary demand for these securities, and enable them to circulate freely at a reduction of at least one-third, if not one half, of the present rate of interest. We do not expect much from Sir G. C. LEWIS, but we trust that Mr. JAMES WILSON, the best financier in the Ministry, will bestow on the question the calm and attentive consideration to which it is fairly entitled. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 21. LNTEsT NEWS Official intelligence has been received in Paris of the acceptance by the Mexican Government of the proffered mediation of England and France in the quarrel between Mexico and Spain. The con ference for the settlement of this matter is to be held in London. This will probably not be very pleasing to Spain, which would fain have had it in Madrid. The capital of one of the mediating nations is manifestly the most suitable place. It is not yet known who will be the Plenipotentiaries appointed, but it is presumed that Senor Lafragua will represent Mexico, he being completely au courant of the affair, which he has followed from the commencement. - The whole personnel of the Mexican Legation at Madrid is now in Paris. Her Majesty the Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Princess Royal attended Divine service at the parish church of Crathie yesterday. Lady Church.ll, the Hon.

KOENIGSBERG, SEPT. 21. Letters received by a commerical house in this city from Russia state that the commission for the emancipation of the peasants has adopted the fol lowing res Autions :—" The emancipation is to take place at three successive periods ; one to be occu pied with preparatory measures ; the second with the executive measures ; and the third with the definitive arrangements, to be confirmed by law." In a manifesto from the Emperor, the landowners will be invited to come to an arrangement with their peasants relative to the emancipation of the latter. The contracts between the owners and the peasants must contain these three clauses :—" 4. The land appropriated to each peasant to be farmed on the payment of rent must be sufficient for his existence, and for that of his family. 2. The peasants must undertake not to leave, at least for the present, the lands they now occupy. 3. The payment of the taxes due to the State must be guaranteed.' The other clauses of the arrange ment are to be left to the free will of the contract ing parties." I` RE SUN, LoNDON, WEDNESDAY X EVENING, SIEPTEMBE'II, 23, 1 857 THE CONTINENTAL COURTS.

The suggestion in the recent report of.the Select Committee on the Exchequer, Pay, and Audit De partments for improvements in the system of issu ierg. Exchequer-bills, so as to get rid of the annual inconvenience of their being sent in for renewal, And to facilitate the interest payments by fn rni shine them with coupons, has led to the question being raised whether the issue of Exchequer-bills in any shape is under present circumstances desirable. The only recommendations that could ever have beer: urged for them were, first that they enabled the Government to raise any sum that might be requi -ite for temporary circumstances in a form to admit of its being easily paid off when the requirement Iv; Terminated ; secondly, that they supplied the finan cial public with a singularly eligible medium for the employment of floating balances ; and thirdly. hat owing to this fact they would circulate at a rate of interest considerably below that at which loans could be raised by the creation of stock. Ali these advantages, however, have now disappeared, and as the existence of a heavy unfunded debt has at all times certain inherent objectionable features, it is natural that doubts should be raised whether these should be submitted to when there are no longer any counteracting circumstances to render them unimportant. The issue of Exchequer-bills merely for casual purposes has long passed into a more extensive arrangement, by which the total has been swollen so as to represent nearly a fortieth part of the entire national debt, about 17,000,000/. or 18,000,0001. being at all times in the hands of the public. The facilities which caused them to be acceptable to financiers have been utterly eclipsed, chiefly by the attractions offered by the banks and d;scount houses in receiving deposits at call, and partly by the higher terms payable on railway debentures ; and, finally, so far from their now effecting an economy to the Government by their rate of interest being below that of the funds, they cannot even be kept from a discreditable discount by an interest of 31. 16s. Old. per cent., while any amount could be raised in stock at about 31. 6s. or 31. 7s. per cent. Whether the new regulations recommended by the committee would in any important degree remedy this disparity may be doubted. The fact is, the Go vernment themselves have for years past contrived as far as possible to damage this species of security at the very time when other changes in the mone tary world were tending in the same direction. The first blow was inflicted by abolishing the re gulation under which they were receivable for re venue payments at any period after three months from their date of issue; and subsequently Sir C. Wood and Mr. Gladstone, by obstinately allowing them to fall to a heavy discount, and to remain un saleable at times of severe pressure, thoroughly completed the mischief. There is hardly a banker or money-dealer who has not a sore recollection of losses and anxieties most unjustly thrown upon him in this manner, and the prejudice created will last for years to come. It is, therefore, full time to consider whether the annual pecuniary loss entailed by these securities, together with the discredit of seeing the current obligations of the Government daily quoted at a discount., should not be got rid of by funding the whole, or, at all events, so large a portion of them as would enable the remainder to float and to command a respectable premium at a reduced interest.—Times. CANADIAN PATRIOTISM. (From the Brockville. Monitor of Sept. 5.) We perceive from the recent tone of a debate in the Imperial Parliament, that the home government are favourably disposed with regard to raising a regi ment or two in Canada for service in India at the present juncture. This disposition has already found a proper response in this province, as the follow ing letter from the arijutant-general of the militia force Baron De Rottenberg, to Major Smythe, of this town will show : "Adjutant-General's OM oP, Toronto, 26th August, 1857. "Sir,—l have the honour to — acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of the 24th inst., offering the services of yourself, officers, and such number of nen as may be required for home or foreign service, and have been directed to acquaint you, in reply, that his Excellency, the administrator of the Government, received your ap plication with much satisfaction, and has transmitted it to the proper authorities in England. We entirely approve of the course pursued in this matter by the parties to the foregoing correspondence, and trust it will bear the desired fruits. A regiment or two raised in Canada to assist the mother country, and officered by Canadian gentlemen, would be the beSt tes momal of our loyalty to the empire, and would tend to connect Great Britain and the most potent of all her colonial dependencies still more closely. The policy was a false one which led the Home Government to reject the offer to raise troops in Canada for service in the Crimea, and we are glad to see that the offer now will be entertained more favourably. To those Canadians who seek military service, the present is a most opportune time to further their views, and those who desire to see the world in this way will now probably bo able to do so under very favourable cir, cumstances. India is most decidedly the finest country in the world for the solder, no troops being treated as well as those quartered there. The pay of both officers and men is nearly double what it is anywhere else, and living is exceedingly cheap. Good beef and mutton are usually obtainable at prices ranging from one to two cents per lb., and bread and all the other staple neces• saries of life are equally as cheap. The climate, it is tine, is warm, and in some districts unhealthy ; but sol diers have little to do, and those who abstain from drinking and are moderate in their food enjoy, in a ma. jority of cases, very good health. In fact in India even the common soldier is a gentleman. Servants cook his food, shave him, and perform all the other menial offices for him, and all he has to do is to mount guard ocoa ' sionally, attend a parade in the mornings and a roll call in the evenings. In war time, as a matter of course, the duty must be more harassing, but the soldier must not expect a service of all sunshine. But, putting the state of things in India out of con sideration, we feel satisfied a regiment or two might he raised with advantage for service even in Canada, and on the same principle somewhat as the Canadian Rifles. In a country where the labouring man can always earn from two to four shillings a day sterling, and sometimes even more, nobody will care to soldier for one shilling ; and we may always expect acc )rdingly to hear of desertions whenever an opportunity oc curs. In Kingston, whole squads have recently de serted, and in every garrison in the provinc.., regiments (no matter how well officered and how well the men are treated) must be continually losing men by desertion. This state of things is highly discreditable to our mili tary service, and should be remedied ; and the only way to remedy it is to form Canadian corps for service he, e at increased pay, or to double the pay of the line regi• ments when they chance to be gnat tered in this part of the empire Desertion from the Canadian ft.:nes is a thing of the most rare occurrence. Tne men are p er . mitted, we believe, to earn what they can when off duty, and this privilege, in addition to doub'e pay, keeps them always true to their colours, while they still remain a most efficient and trustworthy corps, and always ready forany and every duty. No line regiment should be quartered at Kinrston or at any point near the frontier, where desertion and es cape to the United States are of easy accomplishment. Posts of this kind should be occupied by troops whose position would not be improved by desertion, and whose interests, therefore, as well as their oaths and in clination, would keep tbem true to their colours. Every practical military man must sea at a glance the correctness of our suggestions and the necessity of some thorough change in the military polity of Cana 'a. In conclusion, we would recnornend Major Smythe not to lose sight of the pre:nit chance for Indian ser vice. India is the real training ground of the British army, and where the man of talent and prudence can most readily advance his fortunes. The present Sepoy rebellion 13 one of the best things that oould happen for the consolidation of our Anglo-Indiar. empire. Years may elapse before quiet will be restored, much blood may be spilt, and much treasure spent in the attainment of that desideration ; but still, the result will more than compensate for all these sacrifices. In place of supineness, Moe security, and red-tapiere, a most thorough and efficient civil and military orga n i sa ti on will be established, and the British empire in the East thus placed en a more secure basis than ever. We have no fears for the result of this mutiny. The British empire in India . has surmounted muc h more trying everts. Ryder All, the Mahrattas, a n d even th e Sikhs, were much more form idable antagonists than mutinous Sepoys. British valour triu m ph e d over t h ese antagonists, and will triumph still more easily in the present crisis, no matter whether th a t cr i s i s h e l ong or short. The British troops may ev en h ave to retire from before Delhi, owing to the warm season b e i ng upon t h em; s till India will not be lost, and the month of October will open with operations on such a coals as ultimately to crush out the last vestige of mutiny. , n a will bog SWEARING-IN OF THE N EW S HERIFFS OF L ON DON A ND MIDDLESEX.—The corporat i on o f L on d on , h av i n g been deprived of th e so l e conservancy o f th e r i v e r Thames, under the Th ames C onservanc y A c t of last sesioo, have det erm i ne d on no l onger pa t ron i s i ng that noble stream on civ i c s t ate occas i ons .

A letter from Stuttgardt gives rather precise de tails de tails concerning the approaching meeting of the Emperors :—" The Emperor Napoleon is to arrive here in the afternoon, the Emperor Alexander having preceded hinia little. The Emperor Na poleon is to occupy apartments in the King's palace, as are also Count Walewski and the other personages of his Majesty's suite. The Emperor Alexander is to lodge in the villa of the Princess Royal, at the gates of the city, on the road to Caustatt, and Prince Gortschakoff Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, in the old chateau near the pal-ice. The Emperor Napoleon, on the day of his arrival, is to dine with the King. The Em peror Alexander, on the same day, is to dine at the villa of the Princess Royal. Tho Princess is after wards to give a soiree to a very small party, which the King and the Emperor Napoleon are to attend. It is there that the first interview of the two Emperors will take place. If lam well in formed, this interview will have no o th er wit nesses than the Ki▪ ng and the Princess.

A letter from Berlin of the 19th says :—" Prince Frederick William is expected here tomorrow from Breslaw, and is to leave a few days after for Coblentz with his father. He will go in December to Loudon, and pass the Christmas holidays with the Royal family of England. The Prince and Prince-s of Prussia will go to London for New Year's Day." A letter from Hong Kong of the 28th July states that the French frigate- Virginia which carries the flag of Rear-Admiral Guerin, had left that place for Manilla, from whence she was to sail for France ; the steam corvette, the Pri mnauguet, and the gunboat the Ftliie9, had arrived from Singapore. The same letter states that the United States corvette, the Levant, in order to avenge the village by a gang of pirates of an Ameri can merchant ship, had burned down a village iu the island of Formosa, whic't the pirates occupied. The letter adds that the departure of Lord Elgin had produced a profound impression in the English colony, and that all the English troops, with the excvtion of a battalion of marines, were about to be sent off to Calcutta.

The Osborne Admiralty State yacht, Master- Commander Bower, returned to Portsmouth on the termination of the Admiralty official tour of inspec tion on Monday. The Sealark and Rolla brigs for the instruction of boys (apprentices) for the navy have proceeded eastward and westward to pick"up lads to' make the Victory's complement of them complete. The Chesapeake, 51, Captain R. B. Watson, has got her sailing orders. She will leave Spithead this clay for Calcutta, taking charge (as senior officer and ommodore of the second cia , s) of the PyladeA, Assurance, Roebuck, Sparrowhawk, and a few other vesse's. The Diadem, 32, Capt. Moorsom, C. 8., will be ready in a few days at Stokes Bay to make trial 'of her speed. She is expected to realise 13 or 14 knots. The Ireland, screw•transp')rt, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, to embark about 400 troops for India. Lord Panmure having presented to the committee who had erected a handsome stone column to the memory of the fallen in the Crimea on the South sea Esplanade a Russian 36-pounder gun, Admiral Lord Lyons has presented them with a very hand -orna gun-carriage taken at Yenikale, which was yesterday deposited and mounted in fiont of the column, with a proper inscription mentioning the donors. Lord Panmura has also (on the applica tion of Viscount Monck) issued orders to have for warded to the inhabitants of the borough of Ports mouth two Russian guns, with iron carriages, which are to be placed on the Clarence Esplanade. H.M.S. Ganges anchored at Spithead yesterday morning, on her voyage to the Pacific, to relieve H.M.S. Monarch as flagship on that station. The Ireland, screw steam transport (one of W. S. Lindsay and Co.'s line), Capt. Jackson, arrived at Portsmouth from the Thames, and went into harbour to embark troops for Kurrachee. In order to carry out the orders recently issued for separating the troops now composing the provi sional battalion, Chatham garrison, into three sepa rate battalions, the whole of the Indian depots were on Monday afternoon assembled on the general pa rade ground, Chatham barracks, under the com mand of Col. H. Jervis, Commandant of the provi sional battalion, when the three battalions were formed. The Ist battalion will be under the com mand of Col. H. Jervis, and will be composed of the following depots, viz.:-7th Royal .Fusiliers, 24th and 27th Enniskillens, 32d, 35th, 53d, 70th, 75th, 81st, and 84th. The 2d battalion will be commanded by Lieut.-Colonel R. N. _Phillips, and will consist of the Bth, the King's, 10th, 2Gth, 23d Royal Welsh Fusiliers, 29th and 52d Light Infan try, 61st, 82d, 87th Royal Irish Fusileers, and the 90th Light Infantry, The 3d battalion is placed under the command of Lieut.-Cot. Eltnhirst, and comprises the depots of the 19th and 43d Light In fantry, 64th, 83d, and 86th Regiments, together with the following five depots now under orders to proceed to Chatham garrison—viz., sth Fusileers, 18th Royal Irish, 33d (Duke of Wellington's), 51st Light Infantry, and the 94th. The battalions are to be formed from Ist Oct. next., the paymaster s of each battalion taking over payment from that date. Yesterdaymorning the 7th Light Dragoons, under the command of Capt. Dowbiggen, which left Shef field under orders for India, and were billeted for the night at Islington, passed through the City em route for Dartford, where they will be stationed until they receive orders for embarkation. The depot of the 53d (the Shropshire) Regt. at Chatham has been augmented by upwards of 40 re cruits who have joined that corps from the Shrop shire Militia. The 53d depot has given about 200 troops this season to the service companies of that corps in India. Captain-Superintendent J. C. Fitzgerald arrived at Sheerness yesterday, and took up his appoint ment to the yard, and his commission to the For midable guardship of ordinary. The Great Britain is expected at Cork on the 2d Oct., for the Bth Hussars and 17th Lancers. She can accommodate 1,050 men and officers. THE MILITIA. The Merionethshire Regiment of Militia assem bled for training yesterday at Bala, under the com mand of Lieut.-Col. Morgan. The regiment has lost little of its strength. The 4th or Duke of Lancaster's Own, Royal Militia assembled for embodiment yesterday. It is not expected that the regiment will leave the country. The Northumberland Regiment of Artillery Militia is assembled at Tynemouth Castle, and the men are daily exercised in field practice with the large guns and in carbine drill. The regiment is in command of Major Clementson, and gives great promise of proficiency. The Preston Guardian says :—The Staff of the 3d Royal Lancashire Militia have received orders to recruit for the regular army. Their instructions extend to ettlistment for 39 regiments, and the sergeants:selected for that duty are ordered to receive men at 36 years of age or under, who have been previously discharged from the army with a good character. Militiamen are also allowed to enlist into the army, by declaring at the time of joining that they are such. Monday being the day appointed for the embodi ment of the City Dublin Militia, a scene of unusual excitement took place in the vicinity of the Linen hall Barracks, where the regiment is for the pre sent to be quartered. At 11 o'clock the men began to muster, and in an hour from that time, between 400 and 500 entered the barracks in a sober, orderly manner, which did them infinite credit. About 1 o'clock they were formed into companies, and ad drws,xl by the Colonel (La Touche). He said—" I am proud to meet.you, and 1 will tell you why I am ; because this regiment, owing to the good con duct of the officers who stand around me, and owing to the good conduct of the men under our command, has been chosen as one out of seven to supply the wants of the country in this time of emergency and difficulty, when every man that has the feelings of a man, or that is worthy of being called a 'man, feels his blood boil at the atrocities which have been committed on our fellow-countiy men and on helpless women and children in India. I know that there is not a man in my regiment that does not feel as I do on this subject. I am happy t 9 see so many of the men here, who show that they have a regard for their characters as men." The warrant for the embodiment of the regi ment was then read by. the Adjutant, who after wards proceeded to distribute a day's pay to the men of each company. In the evening the gallant Colonel entertained his officers at a banquet in the Salt-hill Hotel. IRON SHIPBUILDING ON AN EXTENDED SCALB. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. For several days past a beautiful model of a steam ship, on a far more• gigantic scale than the Great Eastern, has been exhibiting, and if all the excellent qualities ascribed to it be accomplished, the ship will undoubtedly outstrip all others that have yet been constructed, both in the rate of speed, internal ac commodation, and safety. The moth' presents a novelty in naval architecture that will develop a rate of speed hitherto unattained, it being constructed in conformity with natural laws. It is alleged that a ship built upon the principle of the model, of 30,000 tons, 1,000 in length, breadth 70 feet, depth 30 feet, would reach India in about 25 days. Two great desiderata would also be obtained—viz., enlarged capacity, and light draught of water ; for it is contended that when ready for sea she would not draw more than 20 feet of water. When it is considered that many of the harbours both at Irmo and abroad, would not alldw of a ship discharging if drawing 30 feet, considerable and manifold would be the aavantages of a light draught, and much saving in expense would be effected in loading and unloading. In contrasting the model with the prin ciple adopted in the building of the Great Eastern, the former presents improvements as numerous as there are i disadvantages in the latter. For nstance, her great depth of 60 feet must naturally be a great drawback, not only to her marine rrcessitres, but also in the di sc h arge of her cargo. Her int!rnal capacity, too, is contracted, there being 2 feet 10 inches from internal to external skin up to the 'tween decks, and from the 'tween decks to the upper deck she is single plated. A gr eat poi n t is achieved in carrying the double skin from the 'tween to the upper deck, for as the ship contends with the sea, there is a longitudinal, vertical, and double diagonal strain upon her upper works, which is considerably in creased in steamers from the vibration caused by the / action of the machinery. This model carries the same strength from the I , eel equally throughout the ship, and the internal arrangements and mode of construction are so scientifically adapted and managed, that it would amount almost to an impossibility for the water to reach the passengers or their berths. It is intended, if adopted by the Government or any private shipbuilder, to propel the vessel by paddles and a screw. Those who are prac tically acquainted with shipbuilding, and who have inspected the model, declare it to be. unexceptionable, and regard its adoption as being worthy the considera tion of the Government. The great object would appear necessarily to be, to bring the most distant parts of the globe within the shortest space of time of our own country, and by such a rapid mode of communication commerce would be extended , civi i:sation would be assisted by more frequent communication, and such emergencies as the Indian war would be met w i t h promptitude. ACGELERATED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AN' DUBLIN.—The London expresq now only stops once between Chester and Holyhead, thereby gaining h a lf an hour ; at.d when the large steamers tinier the n ew contract completed between the Treasury and London and North-Western and City of Dublin Companies commence runn i ng , there will be an additional gain of an hour, IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY* THE PROCLAIMED CITY. The Rev. Mr. Hanna and his admiring disciples have had another field-day on Sunday last, but, without any thanks being due to them, the Pea ce of the town was preserved, and a sufficient police force and a general disinclination on the part 0f the people for a Sunday brawl prevented a rePe tition of the disgraceful scene which necessitated the placing of Belfast under the supervision of some 2,000 of her Majesty's troops in addition to a large police force. The Belfast Mercury has the following sketch of Mr. Hanna's Sabbath recreations :-- " Yesterday we were very nearly h av i ng a ' rene wal of ~ the disturbances which have taken pl ace i n this town some time past, and we congratulate the public on O a narrow escape we have bad. It was stated that the lter Hugh Hanna would again preach in the open air I n the vicinity of the quays, and this having reached the ears of the magistrates ti , e necessary arra n gements wa r , e made by them. At Kali-past 1 o'clock a ll the availabl e police, constabulary and local, were marched to Pol: gall quay, where they took up their position. constabulary were under the command of Mr. Williams; County Inspector, and the local force under Messrs. Lindsay and Green. An immense number of pop's , men, women, and boys, were on the spot, and a s the hoar were on, the number increased until it amounted to, probably, 3,000 or 4,000, scattered about in grout° At three o'clock the Rev. Mr. Hanna attempted t° preach in the waste field near Prince's Dock. !lig CO gregation was large. The May o r, M r . Clarke, old Tracy, and Mr. W. Verner, remonstrated with him, a° warned him of the consequences that m i g ht arise with persisted in preaching. He refused t o co mply wit . their request, and told them he would a s s er t his conti• tutional right. He was encouraged by his cong regatil to go on, and while he was proceeding the magistratee directed the police to clear the ground. This the poll% effected without using any violence. Mr. Hanna they made his way to an enclosed yard, belonging to 111 r ., Dunbar, and he was soon joined by another congreq; tion, whom he at once commenced to address upon t' rights of British subjects and the duties of the magi„c: trates. He did not attempt to go on w ith any r eligi! ) ",, service, but chiefly directed his harangu e t o th e 8 01 of magisterial interference that day with his rights, a?, also to the propriety of the people around him separstl l3 * and going quietly to their homes. While he was so Pr e ; ceeding the police were again ordered to disperse t , people, who were at the time considerably excited, 0 0 they at once executed the order. There was no attemPtli the part of the Roman Catholics to int e rrupt or at a d interfere with Mr. Hanna ; but if he had been aliacc e , to go on without being stopped by the magistrates It h i e difficult to say what might not have Lappened, as t og assemblage was at that time much larger than it I ? ce been there on any preceding occasion. The P 11 0 marched in bodies along the quays for upwards of a ra , hour after, preventing the people from collecting in nu hers at any particular place, after which they proces. to their barracks. There was no rioting at all duo% the evening. We understand that the magistratest„id directing the thoroughfares to be cleared, were 0 ,0 t 1 ; under the orders which they had recently received fro, Dublin Castle. At 10 o'clock a.m. Mr. Metier preaell at Donegal quay to a small number of persons who ba oi assembled to hear him. In the evening at five del° he - again preached iu Sandy-row." THE IRISH SEPOYi. The Freeman's Journal, the leading Roman Ca : tholic organ in Ireland, administers the followinb' creditable rebuke to that section of the Irish Pr e° which has volunteered the advocacy of the atr °c, ii `' ties perpetrated by the Sepoys. Commenting I l P ° ' the petition adapted by the Chamber of Comme rce/ at Calcutta, the Freeman says : tea " Some vile enemy of the Irish people bits atterol 3 , - 0 to get up a murder and rapine spirit in Ireland, anu r o stimulate a pro-Sepoy feeling. by the issue of P lo3 ;n g in the southern districts, for the purpose of indati,. the belief that in the more Catholic districts of '7 h country the brutalities of Sepoys are regarded 7 , 16 0 . sympathy, and their treatment of the Irish and •P f3 ,i lish ladies approved, because their husbands fathers are assumed to be connected with the 131 1, ;- o f army.

Some of the best reel;',..j.

Government in the peti tl° which we subjoin, and from the midst of the revolt to demand a free and constitutional Government for 1 ( + 1:11 f under the sovereignty of our Queen, they hav e the , dom to discriminate between rational liberty and pant licentiousness ; and, while fearlessly exposing fIP evils which led to this revolt, they as fearlessly take 3. arms against the system of indiscriminate murder whi c the Sepoys would inaugurate, and their Irish syel iv thisers would have their dupes, if they could get a° l, to follow."

The guns are disposed trill similar manner on the Merrimac Wabash, an other war vessels recently added ic; the Anteri e ; navy. Themain dimensions of the Russian frig a ', are nearly as follows :—Length, 330 feet ; 55 feet ; depth, 36 feet. The engines, two in nub" ber, will have a stroke of 3 !eet 9 inches, with der about 84 inches in diameter. The vessel vti o be full rigged. In giving the contract for ti'd vessel to one of our citizens, it was the desig,RA the Russian Government to obtain a ship wf l e jj, should•be a model of strength, symmetry, and a other desirable features in naval architecture, O .A. complete in all the details of its equipments. ~0 splendid cabin will be fitted up for the use of tue Admiral of Russia. The furniture and table o r ' will be of the most superb description, The v esoe f will pi obably be ready for launching in the fall f e , 1858, and will be completed and delivered in tm i spring of 1859. A strong foundation of timber ut the support of the stocks , on which she will re ° ; has been laid deep in the earth, to guard aciail l the sinking of the great weight above.
