The session of Parliament which has this day been brought to a olose was in some respects one cf peculiar interest to the community. There had been an appeal to the nation—Lord PALMERSTON bad fearlessly gone t) the country on a question of foreign policy, and confidence or no confidence was the great issue on which a verdict was to be returned. Never was there a more dscisive response. The Chinese policy of the Government was emphatically cm3firmed, and many popular members were rejected in consequence of the opposition they had offered to Ministers on that interesting topic. The " Yehites" were rejected by the almost unanimous voice of the peop!e. Those who escaped the fate of many of their brethren did so, not in consequence, but in sp:ta of their peculiar opinions on that subject. The Peelites, who took a leading part in the discussion, were all but extinguished ; there were a few leaders, but no followers, the rank and file were cut off without a solitary survivor remaining to receive the commands of their generala. There were a vast number of new members, a larger proportion indeed, than were returned at any time since the election aft :r the passing of the modern Magna Charta, the Reform Act. Two testa only were required, viz., that the candidate should be a supporter of Lord PALMERSTON, and a "'Taming reformer. The former because the ma intenance of the national honour under the existing clicumatanoes was of paramount impr• tance, far beyond anything else that could arise. The latter in respect cf the promised Reform Bill, that was to be introduced next session, and which whatever might b e its fate, would render the present Parliament but short-lived, obtaicer tainly i a inasmuch, as if carried, ther e would be a dissol ution in order t representation in accordance with :the regula tions which were approved of by the nation, and also, if rejected, a s Lord PALMER STON would then appeal, on the question of Reform, before surrendering the Government to other hands. There could certainly, at first, be no grounds for Ministerial complaints respecting the docility of the junior representatives. Whatever Minis ters asked was carried by an overwhelming majority. Subsequently the novi, homines be came less manageable, and sundry Ministerial defeats were sustained, just to show that they bad not everything their own way, and must respect the popular will. The Jew Bill, which was to be the great event of the Session, was sent triumphantly to the Upper House, but Was contumeliously rejected. A large number of representatives were inclined to take the matter into their own hands, and to adopt the course which ought to have been taken in the first instance, ten years previously, Viz., passing a resolution that Baron ROTHSCHILD should be admitted to his seat on taking the oath in the form most binding on his conscience. Unfortunately, more timid counsels prevailed, mainly on the advice of the " Calm JOHNNY," who once more contrived "to upset the coach." He first promised to introduce a bill which would bring the recalci trant peers to their senses. Then, when time was his most formidable opponent, postponed the matter for the appointment of a committee which contrived most effectually to shelve the question for the present year. One question was carried with perfect ease—the Princess-Royars Annuity Bill—the virtual tribute to Prussia for a matrimonial alliance, intensely displeasing to the nation, received the legislative sanction, and though some few members boldly and manfully resisted the obnoxious grant, they did not receive the support to which they were so justly entitled—and toadyism was completely in the ascendant. As a con trast to this sycophancy, we may say that the Coburg job, the removal of the National Gallery to Kensington Gore, was energetically resisted and effectually crushed. This was the great redeeming feature of the session, that which was entitled to and received the unequivo- cal approbation of the community at large. Tilers were also some expression of feelings against local expenditure. The grant to Finsbury Park was re jected, and the 25-inch scale map of Scotland met a similar fate. _ . . oomer. The committee on the currency separated with out making any report, and that all-important question was allowed to remain in abeyance for another year. The Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill was eventually carried, after a severe struggle, in which, both in the Lords and Com mons, every nerve was strained to the utmost. But there was a matter of far greater im portance than any domestic question. It was during the session that the intelligence of the dis affection and insubordination of the Bengal army, and of the horrible atrocities perpetrated by the mutineers was communicated to the Parliament and the people of Great Britain. The deplorable accounts received by each successive mail should have stimulated the Government to greater activity, and the energetic remonstrances of the veteran, Sir DE LACY EVANS, and his coadjutors should have been more strongly supported. Lord PALMERSTON virtually admitted that there would be no objection, on the part of Egypt, to English troops proceeding to the scene of action via Suez. There were trifling difficulties in the way, but they could easily have bean overcome. There were many troops stationed at Malta and other Mediterranean garrisons which could easily have been replaced by militia regiments, and brought to the scene of action in a comparatively brief space of time. But red-tapism prevailed. Nothing was done, probably in order that' Lord PALM ERSTON might be enabled to enunciate a fese platitudes respecting the advantages of a despotism in foreign affairs. But he and his prompter, the party who, at a certain memorable banquet, as serted that tho British Constitution was on its trial, may rest assured that the People are not disposed to surrender a single one of their Constitutional privil.ges—tlia% in answer to any insidious suggestion of the kind they will repeat the inspiring watchword of the Barons at Runnymede—" Yolunaus leges Anglin. mutari." They well know that these ob structions may be overcome, these impediments removed, if the mini-ter efficiently discharges his duty, and boldly grapples with the diffi culty. The fetters by which they are restrained are simply made of red tape, and they may be shattered by a mere act of the volition. The old proverb, " where there's a will, there's a way," was never more applica ble than in the present occasion. The soldiers from the Cape should also b 3 ordered out despite the scruples of the Governor, Sir C. GREY. He may like to keep the:n, but they are more wanting elsewhere. The Cape has the German Brigade, who it appears are still under arms, receiving I British pay and allowances ; and, if they are good I for anything, the English troops cannot also be I required, unless indeed it is to take care of these 1 German pets. There is - also to be a creation of Peerages. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is to be made Duke of KERRY, an honour which no one will grudge to the veteran Statesman. And Lord ROBERT G ROSVENOR is be created a Peer. God knows for what reason, save that he has already two brothers and many connections iu the Upper House, and that he contrived to offend the great body of the People, probably more than any other Member of the House of Commons. But for the legal estpenses of the election, he would have been strenuously opposed at the last election, and probably rejected, not withstanding his immense family influence. He clearly perceives the prudence of not risking an- other contest for the metrop !liters county, and is therefore pitchforkel into the Lords, to whom we 'wish much joy of their bargain. Mr. SYNC, M. P., for Tavistock, on the nomi nation of the Duke of BEDFORD, has addressed the electors as his successor. The question naturally arises why he did not come forward in March last, when the representation of Middlesex was literally going begging? It would appear, however, as if it were to be disposed of by an aristocratic clique without any consideration for the wants and wishes of the great body of the electors. It certainly ought to be elevated from the position of a nomination county, bound to act in accordance with the views of its quasi patrons. LAND. Who is not interested in Omnibuses t Of course all ought to be, or the name is a mistllce ; but no one living in the vast area of the metro polis would deny the fitness of the name. A small part of our two or three millions, tenants of Belgravia, perhaps may never use an omnibus— the lady tenants certainly not—but the exigency of the hour may have placed even" My Lord," or " Your Grace," among the twelve inside, the four in front, or even on the knife-board ! If the Great Folk, however, do not voluntarily descend below a Hansom, it is, cert lin tbat.. nume rous members of the Great Man's establish ment rejoice in the Company, or the sixpenny ride '"all the way." Probably there is not a ic auy in th e whole metrooolis some member of which has never ridden in an omnibus. As t) the great multitude of Lmidoners, it is a daily necessity. Now th a t th e Cit y i s be come the mere counting-h ouse , or f ac t ory of the suburbs—that London is the suburbs omnibus is an d the suburbs London —the as essential to our dail y businesp, as the stair case to our daily meals. We must wal k down to breakfast, and we must ride up to the city ; and We ride; the vast majority of us by the long lum bering vehicle which passes our duor, or the end of our street or terrace. A few railway iie con- T rE 6UN, LONTON, FRIT) k V veniently for some of ns, but the omnibus, faith ful to its name,•runs conveniently for all. A hearty interest do we therefore take in all that concerns our daily conveyance, above all in the improvement of its character, quality, and accommodation. We have so long enjoyed the room generally accorded us on a railway, (the speed we know to be out of the question) that we are become more than ever intolerant of the jam- ming and squeezing to which we are daily sub- jected, in the six, sometimes seven on a side, to which we are constantly subjected. It is most amusing, certainly, to witness how coolly the first five, of old stagers, contrive to chew a side full (a thing very easily done) to the new At last he selects one side—a scant opening is made for him, a smile for good luck passes along the opposite side, and arched eyebrows on the afflicted side, as good temperedly as may be says, !," we are done." Presently sgme kinsman of DANIEL LAMBERT, or some Alderman's lady, whose bulk is something more subst uatial than crinoline, arch the eyebrows on the hitherto en durable side, and again lo Mks say, " and we are done now with a witness." We must leave it to friend Punch, however, to exemplify all the plagues of the regular old omni bus. The hot weather plagues, and the cold weather plagues ; the plagues of wet 'days in an omnibus, and the plagues of dusty days in an omnibus ; the plagues of the night omnibus, and the plagues of the day omnibus ; the plagues which afflict your knees, your toes, your sides, the crown of your own hat, and the gown of your anxious wife ; the plague of your neighbour's elbow as he reads the newspaper, and the plague of trying to get at the city article in your own. Above all, the plague of your own umbrella when dripping wet. The plague of getting in, and of getting out ; and the plague of getters in, and of getters out. "Necessitas non hahet legs," says lIIIDIERAS, and certainly could the necessities o f City business but find us a fresh pair of legs when we got there, we should frequently use our subur ban pair to escape the plagues of the omnibus. The provoking thing is that all this was lat!ly to be remedied ; a large and powerful company was to supplant the private proprietors, and we should see the difference—alas, we looked for it long, and looked in vain. The crazy, ugly, lum bering, close, yet drafty vehicles ran on as usual. The omnibuses remained as unreformed as the House of Lards, not to speak of the humbler House. At length an eff in is made ; prizes were offered, new omnibuses were exhibited, but none were adopted, though an inventor complained to us that one of his inventions was pirated in sotee new built ones without acknowledgment. Of course, we could not verify the justice of his com plaint, and told him we only wanted improvement somehow. At last a real and great advance was made. The ,Saloon Omnibus was invented, built, exhi bited, and finally several built on that model were put on the road. The superiority was unquestion able. Half the plagues were banished, and the other half moderated to a very bearable degree. You had the grand desideratum—room--in the first place ; and the quarrels of knees with oppo site knees, and with the getters in and out, were exchanged for "ample room and verge enough.' Your corns were safe from compression ; you were nowhere one of six or seven ; your wet umbrella found its proper place; for the first time, in a word, you could ride at ease in, and out t)e, of an omnibus. k public want was met. Nothing ves needed but that shares in sufficient number should be taken in the new company, to enable all the omnibus-riding population t travel in a style unknown before. There was first-class accommo dation in the cennibus, at every-class fare. The monopolists, however, took the alarm. They first endeavoured, by placards covering many feet square, and staring us everywhere in the face, to discredit the new company. Notwithstanding this the omnibuses got unto the road. Then com menced the "nursing nuisance." An omnibus was put on before, and another behind, each of the new ones, to anticipate passengers, or even to prevent a passed one from getting in; to stop with the offinding omnibus, and to go on, as the offender went on. Of course collisions, break. ages, and danger to passengers folio wed, and on Wednesday—not for the first time—the parties appear in the police court. The monopolists charged the saloon omnibus driver with breakitil; his windows. It turned out that the reverse nearly was the truth. That the " nursing" omni bus broke its own windows in attempting to ob struct the other. The judge pretty plainly inti mated that such conduct wouldley the monopolists open to indictment for conspiracy. It ought to do . so. The Saloon Omnibus Company is net an underseller. It merely supplies a public want. It is open to the proprietors of the old vehicles to make fair terms with the new company for their omni buses. The people ought to have the full benefit of the vast improvement now effected, and if the old company will not apply its funds to providing us with the realised improvements, and that very quickly, we trust the public will enable the new company . to put its vehicles adequately on every road. THE QUEEN'S DA"ARTURE FOR SCOT- This morning at 8 o'clock, the Queen, the Prince Consort, the Pi incese Royal and several other member-4 of the Royal Family, left King's-cress Station, en rotas ffr Scotland, by the Great Northern Railway, accon parried by the Hon.

On the departure of the train, her Majesty and Royal party were greeted with another outburst of popular enthusiasm, which was repeated on the train's pa , sing various points in the suburbs, where numbers of her hlaje , ty's loyal subjects had co ngreeted t) catch a glimpse of the train as it proceeded on its journey.

T. Baines, Mr. Warren, Mr. Crauford, Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Ayrton, the Hon. C. P. Villiers, and a great number of members appeared at the bar. I THE DIVORCE AND BIL MATRIMONIAL CAUSES The Royal assent having been given to this bill. The Lord Chancellor then read HER IVIAJESTY'S S?EECH. " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " We are commanded by her Majesty to release you from further attenlance in Parliament, and at the same time to express to you her Majesty's cordial acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have performed your important duties during a session which, though shorter than usual, has, nevertheless, been unusually laborious. " Her Majesty commands us to express to you her satisfaction that the present state of affairs in Europe inspires a welt-groundel confidence in the continuance of peace, "The arrangements connected with the full ' execution of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris have, from various causes, not yet been completed ; lmt her Majesty trusts that, by the earnest &Mita of the contracting parties to that treaty, all that remains to be done with reference to its stipu lations may ere long be satisfactorily settled. "Her Majesty commands us to inform you that the extensive mutinies which have broken out among the native troops of the army of Bengal, followed by serious disturbances in many parts of that Presidency, have occasioned to her Majesty extreme concern ; and the barbarities which have been inflicted upon many of her Majesty's subjects in India, and the sufferings which have been endured, have filled her Majesty's heart with the deepest grief ; while the conduct of many civil and military officers who have been placed in circum stances of much difficulty, and have been exposed to great danger, has excited her Majesty's warmest admiration. " Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she will omit no measure calculated to quell these grave disorders ; and her Majesty is confident that, with the ble3sing of Providence, the powerful means at her disposal will enable her to accomplish that end. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " Her Mljesty conrnands US to thank you for the liberal supplies which you have voted for the ser vLe of the present year ; and for the assurances which you have given her of your readiness to afford her Majesty whatever supp)rt Inv be necessary for the re3tlration of tranquillity in " Her Majesty has Lean gratified to furl that you have been enabled t) provid3 the amount re quired to be paid to Denmark for the redemption of the Sound Dues, with)ut on that account add ing to the na.ional deb•. • • " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " Her 111 ijeity commanis us to convey to you her heartfe!t adinowledgments for the p 7 ovision which you have made for her beloved daughter the Princess Royal on her approaching marring a with his Royal Highness Prince Frechrick William of Prussia. " Her Majesty commands us to inform you that she his seen with satisfa:tion that, although the present session has been short, you have been all,) to pass many Acts of great impor:ance, and t which her Al ijesty has given her conlid. assent.

Toe Lord CHANCELLOR then in the usual manner declared the Parda.tuent prorogued to Friday the h-1.1 Nov• mber. The only peer present on the Government side of the house was Lord Foley. The opp.isition benches were entirely deserted. There were but a fev ladies present, all the whole affair went off in the dullest manner imaginable. HOUSE OP OOMMONS—(This Day.)

With regard to the Suez and Red S e e line there 'vas , he beli - ved , a pr ivate com p an y contem plating such a scheme, and, as far as the Government could, without the assistance of parliament, they would give it every encouragement.

The New York commercial advices report that there was a healthy feeling in mercantile circles, and a good fall trade was confidently expected. The crops had come forward in abundance, and, if not so cheap as at former periods, were made more accessible to traders of limited means than they had been during late years. The money market remained easy, with a fair de mand. First-class paper was quoted 9 to 10 per cent. and second-class ditto 101 to 12 and 15 per cent. The stock market for the week closed with much excitement and depression. The tendency of railroad shares was downward, and holders felt compelled in some instances to sell at a large sacrifice. State loans were quoted at lower figures than for acme time past, show ing a decline of 1.- to 1 per cent. on the whole list, compared with the close of the previous week.

The benefit of Mr. T. Payne, the lessee, took place last evening, when the entertainments were not only varied, but of a highly attractive nature, as will be seen from the following list of the artistes who gave their valuable services :—Madame St. Victor, who made her first appearance at this theatre, Miss Harriet Gordon, Miss Tempest, and Miss Anna Maria Qiiim ; Mr St. Albyn, Mr. Ayesley Cook, Mr. Cuarles Forte, Mr. F Coteries, and Mr. James Foster. The novelty was cimio opera from the French, adaptf•cl by Mr. Leicester Buckingham, entitled "Jeannette%. Wedding," the music by - Victor Ma,se, in whiCh thtre are but two charac ters, a peasant and a peasantees, Jean (Mr, St. Albyn), and Jeannette (Hiss Harriet G. Idol)). The plot is necessarily simple, but worked ont with unmistake able Gallic ingenuity. Jean is about to be married to Jeannette, but while the wedding is being solemnised before the Mayor, on the notary handing him a pen to sign the marriage contract, he repeats his bargain, and runs away from the church, He is pur , ned to his cottage by Jeannette, who reproaches him for his con duct, and on her informing him that her father is loading a blunderbuss, and coming after him, he be comes terrified, and signs the contract. It is now in the power of Jeannette to treat him in the manner in which he has treated her, her name not being ap pended to the document, but as she has a real affection f him, she also sign&the deed of marriage. Some hu morous scenes theileoccur, in which Jean is represented as a woman, or rather wife, hater, con,ideriug marriage as the, greatest of curses ; but the affectionate ways of his fond wife, and the domestic comforts with which she surrounds him, induce him to change his opinion, and regard marriage as a man's best condition, and so all ends happily. The piece • is extravagant enough, but answers its purpose of being amusing. Its greatest charm is the music with which it is interspersed, the re citatives and airs being exceedingly pretty, and they were delightfully rendered by both Mr. St. Albyn auu Miss Harriet Gordon, who were encored in an exquisite duet, and at the end of the piece celled the cur tain. Tne otber performances cons stet of a pas de deux by Mr. 'tighten and Miss hia.creeby ; the farce of "Tee Actress of All Work," in which Miss Anna Maria Quinn eustamed six characters and danced La Manola ;" a pas de caraetere by Miss Kete Mandelbert ; Dibdin's comic opera of "The Qieker," in which Mr. Aynsley Cook sang and acted cleverly in the character of Steady ; and the farce of " Au Irish Engagement," in which Mr. and Mrs. James Foster appeared, and which, from the. laughter it created, sent home the audience in good I humour. Lord Stanley of Alderley has left town for Alderley Park, Coogleton, Cheshire. THE NEW PEERS.—The new title of the Marquis of Lansdowne is to be toe Doke of Kerry. He will be the first duke hat has been created by her M , je , ty.

REPRESENTATION OF MANCHESTER.—A report bas keen going the rounds of the metropoiitan papers to the effect that Sir John Potter iuttnded to retire from the representatiOn of Manchester, owing to his late severe illness. We have authority to state that Sir John has almost completely recovered his health, and that he has no intention whatever of resianing the honour so hand- wonky conferred upon him by the electors of Alanchts. ter.—Liverpool Chronicle. THE Marna, tso.—Ttoe Peninsular and Orient sl Com pany steamsnip Tagus, •Capt. B. Curistian, left S uth atnoten yesterday afternoon with tee Peninsular mails, 33 first and 26 second class passengars (among whom are the Viscount and Viscountess C ndeisci, for Lisbon), 2,0001. in bar gold for Cadiz, and a full cargo: Toe screw steamer Almegs.var, Capt. Molina, ako left for Havre and the Spanish ports, with five passengers and general cargo. NEW CANADIAN BISHOPRIC.—The Indian, steamer, has brought news of the formal foundation of the ne v bishoptic of London, in Canada, of which Dr. Cronyn has been appointed the first bishop.

Cronin's consecration. The ceremony will take place at Toronto. RELIC OF THE SPANISH ARMADA.—On Saturday last a fisherman, while out trawling , drew up in his trawl an anchor, which, from the decay of the iron by the action of the sea, must have been in the water sonse centuries; and it is fair to infer, from its make, that it might have been an anchor belorigitig to one of the ships wrecked upwards of three centuries ago off the coast - of Lyme, in the celArated Spanish Armada. It is in the possession of Clayton, EA., collector of her Majesty's customs at this port. RESCUE OF SEVENTEEN PERSONS FROM DROWNING. —FILL (BRISTOL, Aug. 25. —Yesterclaa, at about one p.m., one of our pilots' ships , t hen at anchor off Clove don, descried a boat, and a number of people in it'er. driving towards the South -:vest Patch Sand, the wind blowing strung from SSW, and they immediately hove up th.ir anchor and made towards then, and were just in time to save them being driven on the sands, where and no human aid wou ld nave . been of any avail. Th row i ng them a rope they sncce.etled in towing th em off, brought them to Portiaead, which place they left in the most foolish manner, under the following cinaimstances —Three females and 14 men and boys, who had come from Bristol to Portshead with some other excursionists ried got into a boa r, a b out 16 fe et long, and rowed towaras th e Channel during the forenoon, c when ar it w;hem m fine, t t the. tide then being a stiong ebb, which s ight of the landing-place, and the w kid freshening from the south drove them about 10 mhes towarde the above patch, when the boat became unmanageable, and fright overcame the party, in which state they were providen tially rescued. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. (From the Times.) We extracted at length in our impression of Wed nesday last a communication made in the form of a regular despatch to the Nord of Brussels from its " own correspondent" at Madras. The opinions expressed by such a functionary and circulated in such a journal respecting the position and prospects' of the British in India assume a greater interest just now than might perhaps intrinsically pertain to them, and we are bound to say that, upon the whole, the description and conclusions given in the report are less perverted and more impartial than might have been anticipated. India, it is true, i 5 not " a theatre of the most horrible crimes and atrocities from Cep Comorin to the foot of the Himalayas." for over the lager portion of this ter-. ritory the authority of the Briti-h GOvernment has. either remained unassailed or been successfully ag'. sorted ; but, though the else is so far exargerated , the erocedings of the insurgents are justly charac-• terised, and not extravagantly considered. In. an eouncina the result of his observations, the wri'e f puts aside altogether the defects attributed to the organisation of the Bengal army, and ascribes the outbreak to causes which, wi•h one exception—th e licentiousness of the native press—be derives from the systematic policy of the Indian, Governmen t. He alleges, as a principal explanation of the Indian rebellion, that we have treated n ttive pr:;nceswith in justice by annexing their territory to our own and dis carding the claims of their widows and representa tives, and that we have grasped with too unscrtl pulous an ardour at the hoards which these pat/ chieftains occasionally accumulate. This, in poin of fact, forms the substance of his accusation ; OS; though he charges the authorities with bad fail". towards the epoys in two, and only two, instance 99 he evidently relies um on our acquisitive propensitie s as furnishing the gravamina required. We may be excused, under the circumstanoe 9 ,.. 9 for alluding, in the first place; to the charges whi ch this indictment does not contain. We are not o ,o '' cused of mar-administration, of oppressing th e people by taxation, of being indifferent to their wants, or disregarding _ their welfare. Not syllable is said in. : disparagement of the genera l relations maintained between the Indian Govern; went and its subjects, while it is freely admitted that the native press abused its privileges bi traducing and reviling the authorities of the countrit Although our rule is that of conquerors, we ar e not charged with any tyrannical use of our power , excepting on the points referred to, nor is it in any way intimated that the hundred millions ° Hindoos sultject to the sceptre of Britain hal e any reason to be di - -eentented with the domini °l: : en.tfer which they live. These omissions in t' , i " mouth of a censor convey, we think, no fin% praise, and may serve to convince the world the the we are now resisting, though it apt have been facilitated by errors of policy, has 110 been provoked by misrule. see On the subject of our alleged encroachments, f venture to sty that the territorial di s t r ibution° India still actually existing is sufficient to rebut tlly charge, at the same time that the known eh - 0 0 : stances of the revolt imperatively forbid us to attlli buts its outbreak iii any degree ro causes deduc e s from such assumptions. For a .whole century have now been the strongest Power in a count r i where might. has for ases been esteemed equivalegs to right, and where the tsnute of all dotninion N r3 t so precarious that 50 years' possession was Shollg", to constitute a notable inheritance.

An Oriental Envoy once, on obS''rbe ing the riches of. gold. and jewelry displayed in tut shops of Ate metropolis, remarked to his atterid ag that our Queen could have very little power, il ly plying that under a Government of his own concer t i n such tempting treasures would have b ee s promptly appropriated by the Monarch on nt throne. To Asiatic eyes our rule iu India Inf lis offer analogous examples of forbearance , and very catalogue of Rajahs and millionaires for who hoards we are said to` be gaping ought to speak for the justice of that Government under which, .00g the first time in Indian history, such acq ui6itl have be:n permanently secure. • ne l k .In refutation of the statement that the r a oa of injustice in the breasts of deposed families 11 , 0 15 t crested the insurrection now raging, we need t i' point to the notorious fact that the great JI00( bolsters and chieftains, as a body, have stood ° l ife from the rebellion. That Asiatics, whose Te r i s of s intrigue, and who revel with all the sensat it ' u olii luxury in the turbid waters of a revoletio" , 8 , 11 the abstain in every instance from participation idi troubles now pending was never to be imagirifei but the inAtauces of defection have been se) tarot and the examples of fidelity—on whatever Eln the grounded---so numerous, as to prove beyo possibility of doubt that the revolt neither ° ti or nated with this class of mar;, nor meets with ofe supeort.
