It can scarcely fail to be otherwise than at once consolatory and inspiriting, if we here suc cinctly recal to general recollection the names of those who have already distinguished themselves in the midst of this frightful and appalling emer - Toney, consequent upon the sudden revolt of 100,000 armed and disciplined rebels in Hindos tan. Already there are very many gallant names to be enumerated—the names of men who have proved worthy of the occasion—men who have sficured for the present moment almost a mono poly of the public sympathies, and this very nearly in the same proportion as, in regard to the future, they command the national confidence, or as, in regard to the past, they have extorted the popular admiration,` From the successive commanders i'o-chief before Delbi down to the lowliest of the camp sutlers—there are not many individuals upon the Government side in all that vast In ,di* peninsula who do not, from the mere circumstances of their position, at once win ,From us here at home an interest so profound to be only capable of being articulated in one . "ord., and that word—God-speed But, even uow, as al rea dy remar k e d , t h ere are many w h o :Lave at the very outset so justified this instinctive interest in their behalf, that they have thus early, as 11 4 have said, commanded the national con fiderme tuld. Won the popular admiration. Foremost among these dauntless and true *hearted men (surely the name starts to every lip upon the instant) Bri gadier-General HAVELOCK, the Glorious Avenger of the Massacre of calm _ p i " A soldier, who has suddenly in a few days crea ted for himself an enviable and e n d ur i ng reputation—wi nn ing (as they used t o sly of the youn g victor of Millossimo, and Dag o , an T a Iftontenotte) victory after victory at the p a , de charge I Conspicuous among all our gloriou s heruea now fighting against such perillous odds, ' the great fight of life or death in Bengal and the Western Provinces, HAVELOCK stands forth pre-eminent above the noblest of his compeers— the one who has, beyond all others, the most m aMy availed himself of this abrupt and awful eit,portunity. Associated with this brave Captain, too, is there not one whose name rises immediately after wards to our recollection, as that of one who has throughout approved himself his worthy lieute laant—a worthy coadjutor of that Seourge of GOD to the fiend-like rabble of revolting Hindoos and Mussulmans ? [Revolting, in both senses of `Mord, at once to the imagination and to the THE" Government 1) General HATELOCieS congenial brother-in-arms here alluded to, being no Aother, 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 NEILL; in that match less deed of self-sacrificing valour by which Lieu tenant WILLOUGHBY 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 Savoy 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 projeetilee 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 hands 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 Dalbi, 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, eveu now, at their posts of peril, prepared literally to "do or die"—is there not at tbis 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 Courr 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 tapisin I Every suggestion for improve ment—eyery 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 Dinapore, 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 " JACK 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 abundant evidence of the martial spirit, but un fortunately it receives no encouragement. In place of tempting a superior class into the ranks, our military red-tapists do all in their power to prevent such a result ; and if an ardent enthusiast breaks through the trammels, he speedily receives ample cause to repent the rash experiment. It is not sufficient to be gifted with thews and sinews, with a dauntless heart and indefatigable energy. Something more is required. There must also be X s. D. —45 0/. ready to be lodged at the army agent's, and sufficient influence to induce the Commander-in-Chief to accept the purchase money —we had almost called it the "bribe." Allow men to enter in any position that will not be regarded as a sinking in the social scale, and you will get thousands of valuable recruits, panting' for distinction, and ready to undergo any fatigue, to brave any danger, in its pursuit. Why not hold out inducements to veteran soldiers to re enter the army, and bring their tried experience and their trained nerves and discipline to the national cause ? How many officers are there, who sold out during " the piping times of peace," who would rejoice to be allowed to re-enter the service if they could do so with their former rank, and a recognition of their former services. There were many such men in the Turkish contingent and the foreign legions who would gladly volun teer. We believe that there is not one of our readers who cannot number some persons of the kind within the circle of his friends and acquaintancas who would !gladly serve their country if permitted to do so on fair and equitable terms. But unfortunately the regula tions—excellent servants but shockingly bad masters—cannot be relaxed, and we must rather the assistance of foreign mercenaries seek than of Our own high-spirited youths. Offer the same inducements to "Young England" that we do to G ermany, and there will be no lack of efficient 1 and chivalrous volunteers—men with the instinc tive gallantry of the Anglo-Saxon race, and - as feeling of English English gentlenaen to elevate and refine their dispositions. Never did such a battalion go forth from any country that which, with judicious regulations , might as. be raised in Great Britain at this moment. All they ask is to be conveyed to the scene of action, t o be placed face to face with the san g uinar y assassins of Oteir coun t r ymen and countrywom e n , and not t o b e . permanently bound to a military life when the time of action has gone by. Sergeant KITE may vainly tender " the Q I :TEEN' S s 5 14.0NDON WEDN'ES/AP'l shilling" to young men, whose energies are wanted behind a counter in displaying fancy goods to fair customers. 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 7 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 b 5 a Colonel 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 issue." 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 crotehetty 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 usei 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 c,r 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 zug 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-thiid, 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 tho calm and attentive consideration to which it is fairly entitled. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORA.L, SEPT. 21. Her Majesty the gfeen, the Prince Consort, and the Princess Royal attended Divine service at the parish church of Crathie yesterday. Lady Church.ll, the Hon. Fl )ra Macdonald, EArl Granville, K.G., Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, and Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps were in attendance upon her Majesty. The service was performed by the Rev. John Stuart. V 411 N LATEST 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 lave had it in Madrid. The capital of one of tin mediating nations is manifestly the most suitably place. It is not yet known who will be the Plenipotentiaries appointed, but it is presumed that Savor 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 Madlid is nov in Paris. KOENIGSBERG, SEPT. 21. Letters received by a commerical house in this city from Russia state that the commission for the emancipation of the peasants haE adopted the fol lowing resolutions :—" The emapipation 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 tha 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 - INrids they now nceupy. 3. The payment of the tales due to Vie State must• be. guaranteed.' The other clauses of the arrange ment are to be left to the free will of the contract ing parties." FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. Prince Jerome left Havre yesterday for Paris, and arrived at the Palais Royal in the evening. The Princess Mathilde, who had been for a day or two or the Hotel Frascati, also took her departure for Paris, as did the Prince and Princess Murat. Prince Jerome is to preside over the Council of Ministers during the Emperor's absence from Fiance. The Morbiteur says :—" A subscription on be half of the English families who are victims of the Indian insurrection has been opened by the Prefect of the Seine in the mairies of the arrondissements of Paris, and of the communes of the arrondissements of Sceaux ak Denis." The Pays has received another of its wonderful private communications from London, according to which Nena Sahib has succeeded in effecting his junction with the Oude insurgents, to whom he had brought, reinforcements to the amount of 14,000 men.

A letter from Stuttgardt gives rather precise de tails concerning the approaching meeting of the Emperors :—" The Emperor Napoleon is to arrive here in the afternoon, the ,Emperor Alexander having preceded him a little. The Emperor Na poleon is to occupy apartments in the King's palace, as are also Count Wale wski and the other personages of his Majesty's suite. The Emperor Alexander is to lodge in the villa of the Princes Royal, at the gates of the city, On the road to Caustatt, and Prince Gortschakoff Minister of Foreign Affaira of Russia, inthe 014 chateau near the palace. 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 other wit nesses than the King and the Princess. At the same time, Baron de Hugel, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Wurtemberg, will give a soiree, which will be attended by Count Walewski, Prince Gort schakoff, the principal personages of the Govern ment of Wurtemberg, the members of the diplo matic body, and the suites of the tw o E m pe ror s. On the 26th the King will give a grand dinner at the Palace, at which the two Emperors, the mem-, bars of the royal family, the Ministers of Fo re i gn Affairs of France and Russia, the suites of their Majesties, the Ministers of Wurtemburg, and the dignitaries of the Court, are to be present. Nothing is yet decided as to the departure of the Emperor Napoleon, but it is not thought that it will take place before the 23:h. Notwithstanding all that has been said, there never was seriously any ques tion of the Empress Eugenie coming here." The first matter to Which the Narrarz Ministry intends to call the attention of the Cortes is the Budget of 1858, which is to contain several impor tant ameliorations. According to a letter from Berlin, Sir Culling Eardley, head of tho English deputies in the Evangelical Congress, had suddenly fallen seriously A letter from Berlin of the 19th announces the sudden death of Duke Eugene of Wurte❑o berg, cousin to the King of that country. H.R.H. was born on the Bth of January, 1788. A letter from Berlin of the 19th says :—" Prince Frederick William is expected hers to-morrow from Breslaw, and is to leave a few days after for Cobleutz with his father. He will go in December to Loudon ' and pass the Christmas holidays with the Royal family of England. The Prince and Princes 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 Virginie, which carrie3 the flag of Rear-Admiral Gufrin ' had loft that place for Maniat, from whence she was to sail for France ; the steam corvette, the Pd.- mauguet,..aad_the gunbrAt the. Fusee, 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 in the island of Formosa, which 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 exception of a battAlion of marines, were about to be sent off to Calcutta. THE CONTINENTAL COURTS. The King of Bavaria and his family have gone to Berchtesgaden, in the Bavarian Alpi. The Queen of the Netherlands, accompanied by her son, Prince Alexander, has arrived at Stuttgardt. The Grand Duchess Mary of Russia and the Duke and Duchess of Brabant, attended the performances at the Theatre des Gaieties Saint Hubert, at Brussels, on Saturday evening, an immense audience beim.; present, and among other personages the Ministers of Russia and France.

In the course of the evening the Russian and Belgian na tional airs were performed. His Excellency the Brazilian Minister arrived yester day at the residence of the Legation in Cavendish-square, from a tour in Germany, and will resume his official duties at this Court much sooner than was anticipated. Madame de C. Moreira has not accompanied his excel lency, and will, it is understood, prolong her sejour on the contiuent. The Earl of Bradford is expected in town to-morrow, from Western Park, Salop. Viscountess Jocelyn will shortly leave St. Leonards on-Sea, to join Lady Palmerston at Broadlands, Haute.

DARING ROBBERY IN AND ESCAPE FROM A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—Between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of the 18th inst , Mr. James Slie, a gentleman connected with the examiners' office at the Customs, entered a first-class carriage at the Fenchurch-street ter minus of the Black wall Railway, for the purpose of pro ceeding to Camden-town, and thence to his residence, 19, Queen's-road, Regent's-park. Previous to the train starting a thick-set, well-dressed man took his seat imme diately opposite Mr. Slie, and next to the door. During the journey this person began treading on Mr. Slie's feet, and soon after passing the Morpeth Castle tavern, adjoining Victoria-park, he violently kicked him on the leg. Mr. Siie bent forward, and his assailant instantly seized a thick curb gold chain, suspended round his neck ; a valuable gold watch attached was thereby forced from his waistcoat pocket, and the ruffian, open ing the door with Lis right hand at the same moment, sprang from the carriage. Se strong was the chain that it actually checked the thief in his exit, occasioning him to swing heavily against the iron work of the exterior before it snapped, and then ho disappeared from sigl t with his booty. This daring robbery and escape were witnessed by other passengers, but so suddenly hal it been executed that all were apparently paralysed for the time being. Information was given at the next steam (Hackney), and Francis, an active sergeant of the N division, immediately went in pursui`, and met two re spectable tradesmen, who informed him they had about 20 minutes previously met a man bleeding from the face, walking lamely, and whose clothes were saturated with wet. lie accounted for those appearances by statin g that he bad been robbed by two vi ll a na of his watch, and afterwards thrown into Sir George Duckett's Canal They had pointed out to him the nearest habitation, and were then in quest of the reseals. Thus the veritable thief succeeded in escaping, and the officer [subsequently ascertained that he had boasted to three notorious cha racters of the whole feat in these terms :---" I hay a nailed a 'souper' (watch) from a `rattler' (railway ear ebioaanagze)tm,iteyf ntoto and got 'hot beef"' (injured and pursued).

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 ing 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 furnishing 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 been urged for them were, first that they enabled the Government to raise any sum that might be requi 4ite for temporary circumstances in a form to admit of its being easily paid off when the requirement had 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. All ' 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 ;hese 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 17,000,0001. or 18,000,0001. being at all times in the hands of the public. The facilities which caused themto be acceptable to financiers have been utterly eclipsed, chiefly by the attractions offered by the banks and discount 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 oven be kepi, from a discreditable discount by an interest of 31..166. 00. per cent., while any amount could be raised in stock at about 3/. Os. or 3/. 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 ' verntnent 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 discbunt, 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 s•re 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 pecimiary 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 adjutant-general of the militia force Baron De Rottenberg, to Major Smythe, of this town will show : _ _ " Adjutant-General's Office, 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 men 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 bast tee monial of our loyalty to the empire, and would tend to connect Great Britain and the most potent of all her colonial dependencies sti.l 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 mo-t oppOrtune time to further their views, and those who desire to see the world in this way now probably bo -able to do so under very favourable che cumsfances. lodia is most decidedly the finest country in the world for the soldier, no troops being treated as well as those quartered there. The pay of both officers aniimen 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• series of life are equally as cheap. The climate, it is true, is warm, and in some districts unhealthy ; but eel diem 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 ho has to do is to mount guard occa 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 to 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 tp soldier for one shilling ; and we may always expect accordingly to hear of desertions whenever an opportunity oc curs. In Kingston, whole squads have recently de serted, and in every garrison in ,the province regiments (no matter how well officered and how well the men are treated) must be oontinutidly 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 here at increatel pay, or to double the pay of the line regi ments when they chance to be quartered in this part of the empire Desertion from the Canadian Rifles is a thing of the most rare occarrence. The men are per mitted, we believe, to earn what they can when off duty, and this privilege, in addition to doubt) pay, keeps them always true to their colours, while they still remain a most efficient and trustworthy corps, and always ready for any and every duty. No line regiment should be quartered at Kingston or at any point near the frontier, where desertion and es cape to the United States are of easy accomplishment. Posts of this kind shoald,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 them true to their colours. Every practical military man must see at a glance the correctness of our suggestions and the necessity of some thorough change in the military polity of Cana'ia. In conclusion, we would rec =mend Major Smythe not to lose sight of the preterit chance for Indian ser vice. India is the real training ground of the Briffsh army, and where the man of talent and prudence can _most readily advance his fortunes. The present Sepoy rebellion it ono of Abe best things that oould happen for the consolidation of our Anglo-Indian empire. Years may elapse before quiet will be restored, much blood may be spilt, and much treasure spent in the attainment of tbat desideration ; but still, the result will more than compensate for all these sacrifices. In place of supineness, false security, and red-tapism, a most thorough and efficient civil and military organisation will be established, and the British empire in the East thus placed on a more secure basis than ever. We have no fears for the result of this mutiny. The British empire in India has surmounted much more trying events. Hyder Ali, the Mahrattas, and even the Sadie, were much more formidable antagonists than mutinous Sepoys. British valour triumphed over these antagonist., and will triumph still more easily in ttio present crisis, no matter whether that crisis be long or short. The British troops may even have to retire from before Delhi, owing to the warm season being upon them; still India will not be lost, and the month of October will open with operations on such a scale as ultimately to crush out the last vestige of mutiny. SWEARING -IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS OF LONDON AND MIDDLESFX.—The corporation of London, having been deprived of the sole conservancy of the river Thames, under the Thames Conservancy Act of last session, have determined on no longer patronising that noble stream on civic state occasions. It has always been the custom, on the occasion of swearing-in the new Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, and also the Lord Mayor, for the civic processions to take water at Lon don-bridge or Blackfriars, and proceed thence to West minster, but on the coming swearing-in of the Sheriffs that time-honoured practice will be abandoned. The swearing-in of the new Sheriffs (Messrs. Lawrence and Allen) on Monday next, willisre4ent a new feature, and be rendered memorabl e by the fact that it will be the first time witt,in the recollection of the "oldest in habitant," of the sher . ffs of London and Middlesex pro , needing to Westminster on such an occasion by land instead of water. Thi procession will be formed at Guildhall, and from, thence procied, by St. Paul's, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, ana the Strand to West minster-hall, arriving about two o'clock, when the usual formula of counting hobnails, chopping faggots, administering the oaths, &c., will be gone through. On Lord Mayor's Day the same course will be observed,. and the inhabitants of the West-end will be gratified with a sight of this pageant at less cost and trouble to themselves than formerly. Naval and Dlialitary intelligence. 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 day for Calcutta, taking charge (as senior officer and commodore of the second class) of the Pylades, Assurance, Roebuck, Sparrowhawk, and a few other vessels. 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- t ransp Jr t, arrived yesterday at Portsmouth, to embark about 400 troops for India. Lord Panmure having presented to the committee who bad 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 some gun-carriage taken at Yenikale, which was yesterday deposited and mounted in front of the column, with a proper inscription mentioning the donors. Lord Panmure 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, whioh are to be placed on the Clarence Esplanade. H.M.S. Ganges anchored at Spithoad 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, 2Gtb, 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.-Col. Elmhirst, 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 paymasters of each battalion taking over payment from that date. Yesterday morning the 7th Light Dragoons, under the command of Capt. Dovfbiggen, which left Shef field under orders for India, and were billeted for the night at Islington, passed through the City en 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 1,030 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 t ad Royal Lancashire Militia have, received orders to recruit for the regular army. Their instructions extend to enlistment for 39 regiments, and the sergeantsiseleeted for that duty are orderedto receive men at 36 years of age or under, who have been I 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 dressed 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 oat 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-country 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 to 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 road 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 SCALE. 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 pthers that have yet been constructed, both in the rate of speed, internal ac commodation, and safety. The model presents a novelty in naval architecture that will develop a rate of speed hitherto unattained, it being constructed iu conformity with natural laws. It is alleged that a shin built upon tke principle of the model, of 30,000 tons, 1,000 in length, breadth 70 feet, depth 30 feet, would reaoh 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 fest of water. When it is considered that many of the harbours both at homo and abroad, would not allow of a ship discharging if drawing 30 feet, considerable and manifold would be the aevantages 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 nutnerossa as there are disadvantages in the latter. For instance, her great depth of 60 feet must naturally be a great drawback, n• t only to her marine necessities, but also in the discharge of her cargo. Her internal 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 great point 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 berth s . 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 hav e 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 v; ould be extended, civilisation would be assisted by more frequent communication, and such emergencies as the Indian war would be met with promptitude. CIACC3LEBATED COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AN DuBLIN.—Tbe Loudon express now only stops once bet Ne.ll Chester and Holyhead, thereby gaining h a lf an hour ; stud when the large steamers under the new contract completed between the Treasury and London and North-Western and City of Dublin Compani es commence running, 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 peace of the town was preserved, and a sufficient police force and a general disinclination on the part of 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 having a renewal of the disturbances which have taken place in this ttwn for some time past, and we congratulate the public on the narrow escape we have bad. It was stated that the Rev. Hugh Hanna would again preach in the open air in the vicinity of the quays, and this having reached the ears of the magistrates the necessary arrangements were made by them. At half-past 1 o'clock all the available police, constabulary and local, were marched to Done gall quay, where they took up their position. The constabulary were under the command of Mr. Williame, County Inspector, and the local force under Messrs . . Lindsay and Green. An immense number of people, men, women, and boys, were on the spot, and as the hour were on, the number increased until it amounted to, probably, 3,000 or 4,000, scattered about in groups. At three o'clock the Rev. Mr. Hanna attempted to preach in the waste field near Prince's Dock. His con gregation was large. The Mayor, Mr. Clarke, Mr. Tracy, and Mr. W. Verner, remonstrated with him, and warned him of the consequences that might arise if be persisted in preaching. He refused to comply with their request, and told them he would assert his consti tutional right. He was encouraged'hy his congregation to go on, and while he was proceeding the magistrates directed the police to clear the ground. This the police effected without using any violence. Mr. Hanna then made his way to an enclosed yard, belonging to Mr. G. Dunbar, and ho was soon joined by another congrega tion, whom he at once commenced to address upon the rights of British subjects and the duties of the magis trates. He did not attempt to go on with any religious service, but chiefly directed his harangue to the subject of magisterial interference that day with his rights, :slid also to the propriety of the people around him separating and going quietly to their homes. While he was so pro ceeding the police were again ordered to disperse the people, who were at the time considerably excited, and they at once executed the order. There was no attempt on the part. of the Roman Catholics to interrupt or at all interfere with Mr. Hanna ; but if he had beers allowed to go on without being stopped by the magistrates it is difficult to say what might not have Lappened, as the assemblage was at that time much larger than it has been there on any preceding occasion. The police marched in bodies along the quays for upwards of an hour after, preventing the people from collecting in num bers at any particular place, after which they proceeded to their barracks. There was no rioting at all during the evening. We understand that the magistrates, in directing the thoroughfares to be cleared, were acting under the orders which they had recently received irons Dublin Castle. At 10 o'clock a.m. Mr. Matler preached at Donegal quay to a small number of persons who had assembled to hear him. In the evening at five o'clock he again preached iu Sandy-row." THE IRISH SEPOYS. The Freeman's Journal, the leading Roman Ca tholic organ in Ireland, administers the following creditable rebuke to that section of the Irish press which has volunteered the advocacy of the atroci ties perpetrated by the Sepoys. Commenting upon the petition adapted by the Chamber of Commerce, at Calcutta, the Freeman says : " Some vile enemy of the Irish people has attempted to get up a murder and rapine spirit in Ireland, and to stimulate a pro-Sepoy feeling by the issue of placards in the southern districts, for the purpose of inducing the belief that in the more Catholic districts of the country the brutalities of Sepoys are regarded with sympathy, and their treatment of the Irish and Eng lish ladies approved, because their husbands and fathers are assumed to be connected with the British army. This infamous attempt to identify the people of Ireland with Sepoyism has met a prompt and effective ebuke from the Catholic town of Carrick-on-Suir, who indignantly repudiate the nefarious' attempt, and have opened a eubscription list for the purpose of detecting the emissary Of : yism who brought the vile placards we allude to to elf town. The Irish people condemn most heartily the system of oppression and misrule prac tised by the East India Company, but they have no. sympathy with the butchers at Cawnpore, and the bar barities which form the charaoteristie of the war waged against women and children. Some of the best men in India—English, Scotch, and Irish merchants at Cal cutta—have protested against the misrule practised in India ; but while these men hairs the manliness to de nounce the errors of the Goßernment in the petition which we subjoin, and from the midst of the revolt to demand a free and constitutional Government for India under the sovereignty of our Queen, they have the wis dom to discriminate between rational liberty and ram pant licentiousness ; and, while fearlessly exposing the evils which led to this revolt, they as fearlessly take up arms against the system of indiscriminate murder which the Sepoys would inaugurate, and their Irish sympa thisers would have their dupes, if they could get any, to follow." MILITIA. RIOTS IN LIMERICK: Accounts have reached Dublin of a series of dis graceful riots in'the city of Limerick, which lasted during the evenings of Saturday and Sunday, the rioters being the recently embodied County of Limerick Regiment. The facts are these : " On Saturday the Militiamen, when passing through George's-street to their barracks in Boherbuoy, offered insult to several persens, and behaved in a most ruffianly manner towards every respectable inhabitant they hap pened to meet. The locality of Boherbuoy was a scene of commotion during the night, and the interference of the constabulary to restore order was ineffectual, or only kindled a flame for redoubled disturbances. Mure than 100 of the militia entered barracks in a drunken state, and the presumption of the police to meddle with them was discussed in every room. Revenge they would have, and accordingly between 8 and 9 o'clock, a little before tattoo,' a formidable force, numbering above 100 men of the county militia, congregated before the police station in Boherbuoy, and commenced stone-throwing at the constabulary, and demolished the windows. Immense crowds collected, and, in self-preservation, the police party, consisting of only seven men, had to load and turn out with fixed bayonets. The rioters continued to assail them, and four policemen were knocked down. Int-lligence balling reached the head station of the con stabulary, in William-street, the available force wag called to arms, and proceeded to the rescue of their cow. rades in Boherbuoy. The county inspector (Mr. Calder) and the sub-inspector (Mr. M'Leod) commanded, and their presence at the scene of outrage bad the effect of dispersing the militiamen." - An inquiry respecting these riotous proceedings took place on Monday before the Limerick magis trates, who, after hearing evidence, directed their officer to communicate what had oocurred to Col. Stack, of the Provisional Battalion, and to Lieu tenant-Colonel Dickson, of the County Militia. AMERICAN VESSELS FOE TELE RUSSIAN NAVY. ( From the New Tole Journal of Commerce. ) Preparations are now in progress at Webb's ship' yard for laying the keel of the great Russian frigato (propeller) of 80 guns, the contract for the con struction of which was closed a few months ago. The original proposition (about five years ago) for the building of this vessel provided for three tiers of guns, but Mr. Webb at that time advised the adoption of a plan for only two tiers, and this has finally been settled on. The guns are disposed in similar manner on the Meirimac, Wabash, -and other war vessels recently added to the American navy. Themaiu dimensions of the Russian frigate are nearly as follows :—Length, 330 feet ; width, 55 feet ; depth, 36 feet. The engines, two in num ber, will have a stroke of 31eA 9 inches, with cylin der about 84 inches in diameter. The vessel will be full rigged. In giving the contract for this vessel to one of our citizens, it was the design of the Russian Government to obtain a ship which should be a model of strength, symmetry, and all other desirable features in naval architecture, and complete in all the details of its equipments. A splendid cabin will be fitted up for the use of the Admiral of Russia. The furniture and table ware will be of the most superb description. The vessel will probably be ready for launching in the fall of 1858, and will be completed and delivered in the spring of 1859. A strong foundation of timk , er fur the support of the stocks, on which she will, rest, has been laid deep in the eartb, to guard against the sinking of the great weight above. Mr. 'Webb is also building for the Ru§sian Government a cor vette (propeller) of 10 guns, destined for service at the Russian ports in the Pacific Ocean. The di mensions are—length, 220 feet ; width, 37 feet, and depth, 18 feet. She will be provided with two oscil lating engines from the Novelty Works, of 300 horse power, and 3 feet stroke, with cylinders 5 4 inches in diameter. Her construction wall be very strong. She will have a light draught of only 13 or 14 feet, to enable her to move easily among the waters of the Russian Pacific ports. ' The vessel (which will be full rigged) will probably be ready for launching early next year. WEST HARTLEPOOL, Sept. 20.—Launched from the building-yard of Messrs. John Pile and Co., a very fin e iron screw steamer, named "The Paulina," 400 ton e r 0.M., classed A 1 at Lloyd's for 12 years. She is the property of T. A. Reohuesen, Esq., of London, and i° intended fo r th e 'Mogadore 'arm Teneriffe trade. Sec dimensions are :—Leogth, 177 feet over all ; beam, 2 2 * feet; and depth, 12-feet. Engines of 60-horse se w eri She was christened by William C. Jackson, Esq., °, Greatham, Hull, and glided safely into her intenclou element, amid the cheers of a large assembly, a nd WI greatly admired for her beautiful model and 'Alperin finish.
