It is indeed satisfactory to be enabled to an nounce the safety of the small party at Arrab, who, notwithstanding the failure of the expedition despatched for their relief, held out until they Were relieved by Major VINCENT EYRE, of the Bengal Artillery, and the comparatively small force under his command. These heroes—and the*, have proved themselves to be real heroes— crusisted of.the judge (LITTLEDALE), the assistant udge (CoLvIN), the magistrate (WAKE), the col leotor (ComEE), the civil engineer (BovLE), and sorie sub-officials and railway men, about 12 in W.I. whose names have not as yet been given, and 45 Sikhs. Although attacked by more than 3, 000 rebels, and compelled to endure thei most serious privations, they main tained their position, destroying many of their assailants, until the opportune arrival • of Major Eynn, who, with only 200 men and t hree guns, was euablid to relieve the gallant - 14141. 5 - We trust that such conduct will not be tsv-ffered to pass without notice. If they were 'Frenchmen they would all receive the badge of the Le g i on of Honour. Why is there not a similar reward for Englishmen who have so nobly discharged their duty / It is stated that a oaurt-martial is to be held itin Major-General LLOYD, for his culpable negli gence in respect to the Dinapore mutiny. A stringent inquiry is unquestionably required, e e r 1 and the Commander at D ina po r e has a hreanv3r ac co unt to render. But if the statemen ts d e 140 well founded, the investigation will not rest there. Men in even higher positions will have to answer for their misconduct. Or i Saturday we alluded to the deputation o, Ceieutta merchants that had waited on the Gover_ r Jor-General, earnestly soliciting the disarming of the suspected regiments at Diaapore, and pointing Out the manner in which it might easily be effected. Tihe salutary counsels were, however, disregarded. A. delay of even three hours could not be sanc tioned by men who had wasted, not weeks, but months, where promptitude was indeed desirable. The Sepoys at Dinapore had continued apparently faithful, while their 'fellows were in open insurrec tion. They waited to see what coarse would be pursued by the so-called Government, and the total absence of vigour and energy compromised the native troops, and led to the terrible loss of life that has occurred. The slightest manifestation of zeal or energy would have averted the out break at Dinapore—the massacres in the sur rounding districts—the slaughter of the gallant soldiers of H.M. 10th and 37th Regiments — and the insurrection and disturbances in Behar and Patna, and their vicinities, that will for some time require the attention of a considerable force of Europeans. Nor is this all. The fearful privations at Lucknow—the awful destruc tion at Cawnpore might probably have been averted, but for the " redtapism" at head quarters. JUNG BABADOllll—better known as the Nepaulese Ambassador, who visited London some years ago—had tendered his services, backed by 10,000 fighting men, all animated by a personal hatred of the Oudean rebels. The Resident had accepted 3,000 of the number—very naturally considering that the valuable reinforcement, so urgently required, would far more than compen sate for the breach of etiquette. He had, however, "reckoned without his host." The preservation of hundreds of English lives was as nothing in compari son to strict adherence to " routine." Three thousand men, who had actually marched to the frontier, were turned back, and the friendly Prince that offered,' and the judicious official that accepted their aid were soundly snubbed for their departure from strict precedent ! General LLOYD will justly be tried for his misconduct. We fear, if the statements by the present mail be correct, that Lord CANNING should stand in the dock at his side, and be required to answer a still more for midable bill of indictment. Lord Dant has acted nobly—has proved beyond the possibility of doubt his zeal and de votion to his country. Had he been Governor- General, we should not have had to deplore short comings at head-quarters. Disregarding all per sonal considerations, and boldly assuming the entire responsibility of the movement—even as NELSON in the olden time, the palmy days of Britain's glory, assumed responsibility at Copen hagen—he started for Calcutta, taking vain_ able reinforcements with him. He left China, to which he had been directed, in order to make a very valuable suggestion to Lord CANNING. He had European troops which might be spared. They were greatly wanting in Indi', while Sepoys of doubtful character, who were rather a source of weakness than strength, would be valuable auxiliaries in the flowery land. Indeed they had distinguished themselves so greatly in the olden time, that the " black devils" as they were styled, were peculiarly distasteful to the Celestials. The exchange of English troops to India for a larger number of Sepoys in China would, therefore, be useful for both countries, and the zeal and energy of Lord ELGIN is, there fore, deserving of the highest credit. It appears that that the troop-ship, Lord Rag lan, has arrived at the Mauritius in 69 days, with her MAJESTY'S 4th Regiment of Foot. This will be a valuable auxiliary, under existing circum stances. The residue of the gallant 33d (the Duke of WELLINGTON'S own) had embarked in the Lord Raglan, and she was t 3 leave on the 13th of August for Bombay. The Ripon, too, which l i started on Saturday, was to embark 200 soldiers at Malta, to go by the overland route. We rejoice to learn that this is but a beginning, and that more troops will be despatched from the Mediter - ranean on every opportunity. This is as it should be. We only regret that our earnest advice, we may almost call it " solicitation," was not earlier adopted, asmany serious evils might thereby have been averted. It appears that the gallant HAVELOCK, whose extraordinary and almost unprecedented exer tions have saved the Anglo-Indian Empire, has been rewarded with a good service pension of 1001. a-year, and promotion to the local rank of Major-General in India Are these announcements jests? Is the crisis in India re garded as a farce that such petty matters are re garded as ," rewards" (!) for such services as he has rendered ? They are mockeries—insults under the circumstances. Far better that any recognition of bis invaluable efforts should be deferred, than that they should be regarded in a similar point of view to those of the QUEEN'S dancing master or music master. We have heard of "damning with faint praise " but we have seldom seen such an illustration of " condemning by inadequate remuneration." Had all our authorities acted like HAVELOCK, the Indian rebellion would have been already sup pressed, if it had ever broken out, and that im portant fact should now In recognised, as an en couragement to others to "go and do likewise." Hopes were generally expressed on the arrival of the first telegraphic intelligence by this mail, that this time, at least, we should hear of no ad dition to the horridly revolting brutalities which have sickened and enraged us by turns. Too soon has the trembling hope been dashed ; bruta lity and ferocity which we dare not let imagina tion dwell on, have been as rampant as ever. Some of the first details, indeed, related to the completion of the former atrocities of NANA SAHIB, but what a completion ! No wonder that troops who had seen with their own eyes the palace-court swimming with the blood of female and infant victims whom they were but just too late to save —visiting whose bodies when discovered testified that they had suffered indignities and cruelties worse than death in the agony of the last murder ous hour, no wonder that such troops could van quish any number of the perpetrators of such atrocities. General HAVELOCK had willing aven gers to lead. They needed his skill only, no inspiration was wanting. Every man felt that he was engaged in a holy war, if ever there was one ! What British civilian, not to say British soldier, does not feel it his highest duty to defend the life and honour of the other sex, and to avenge licen tious violence, even without wanton iniquities and cruelty, how much more when these have been perpetrated in unutterable forms. But other murders are also recorded—mur ders of those powerless to help themselves, which is, indeed, one of the most unaccountable features of the mutiny—its ferocity. We are not likely to know much more of the causes which could evoke such a spirit, and certainly all we yet know only fills us with astonislimentthat men could be stimulated by anything conceivable to perpetrate the pecu liarly ferocious deeds of which the Sepoys have been guilty. For the honour of h uman nature, we could wish to discover something which could softencruelty in s ome d egree t h e aspec t o f-i n f erna l and fiendish exhibited by so many of our late rfaegirilments. We y have seen no thi n g which call as even a probable cause of such fury and bloody -wantonness. Indeed we hear of nothing but such generous t rea tment of the Sepoys, that th e revo lt seems more like an army of Absaloms revolting against a parent who has never denied the m :anything, than o ught else that we can imagin e ; and cer tainly the wretches have taken t he means w hie l A85A.1.031 took, and no doubt with the .. e Oriental view of the case, to make the quarrel between them and us an implacable one ; their insults and gross indignities to our women, were intended to show us the very last contempt ; we can well believe that licentiousness had but. a small share in what our innocent wives, matrons, and virgins suffered ; it was meant to placard the English nation throughout all India, as the nation whose very women had been dishonoured in " the light of the sun," and certain it is that nothing but an act of RETRIBUTION which shall ring throughout Asia from Moscow—where Orientalism really be gins, to Canton itself, will restore English honour in Oriental eyes. But still, we ask, why all these heartless, these ferocious murders of civilians, of officers, of me dical men, of merchants, and even of missionaries; of every unarmed European, in short, upon whom hands can be laid. If these parsons escaped they could not injure their murderers, indeed sparing their lives might have been pleaded by the mutineers, if vanquished, in mitigation of punishment. But if they had gone further ; if they had secured all the prisoners they could, they might at least have used them as hostages in the event of defeat for their own security, and in the event of success, have set off at a ransom. It would seem as 'if the extermination of the British in India was the point aimed at ; and had their plans been fully matured, theymight have been much more nearly successful. Was the conspiracy based on this ? Had orders to exterminate the British when the signal for universal insurrection was given, really gone to every station in India, so that thus far all acted on a preconcerted plan, although events interfered with the insurrection being simulta neous ? In this case the ferocity was like that of the Catholics on St. Bartholemew's day, under the Hapsburg generals in the thirty years war, and in the Irish rebellion, when extermination of the Protestants was the watchword, and unspar ing ferocity was the method deliberately chosen for the accomplishment of an end. Gratifying, indeed, are the exceptional cases in which Sepoys have behaved kindly to the officers against whose authority they yet mutinied ; and very gratifying the fidelity of so many non-mili- tary native servants to whom their masters owed their lives ; yet these instances of better feeling only serve to exhibit in darker colours the almost universal treachery and ferocity of the mutineers. They seem also to bring us back to the conclusion that ruthless murder of those they had sworn to obey, and whose " salt they had eaten," was not a universal order ; and, that while revolt was en joined, the treatment of the officers and other defenceless Europeans was very. much left to each regiment. We fear, therefore, that the conclu sion must be that these " mild Hindoos" are, after all, what Asiatics have always been, relent less and cruel, beyond Western conception, when they think they can safely be so: Treated as the Sepoys had been, they could not seriously believe that their superstition, or their caste was to be compulsorily interfered with. They knew the honour of the British too well for that. At most, the greased cartridges resolved itself into an affair of honour; they had objected to them, and they stood by their objections. That it was not a con scientious objection was plain enough by their using them quite readily to murder their officers, and to attack Europeans generally. In the late war the Russian soldiers were guilty of such brutal murders of the wounded, as horrified real Europeans. Ferocity is, we fear, an attribute of the Asiatic character. Indeed, the earliest ac oDunts of Scripture make us familiar with the painful fact. It seems impossible to forget all this / when the hour of deliberate retribution arrives. We say deliberate retribution, because our soldiers will assuredly, whenever triumphant, exact the se verest satisfaction possible in the hour of victory. But there will be ithe vast majority of one hun dred thousand villains and scoundrels to deal with all over India. They will be so many human tigers scattered over the land, the scourge of the country, the Tiers-in-wait for blood, all over the Bengal Presidency. It will be necessary to pre vent their infesting the whole territory, and and living lives of assassination and plunder, at the cost of the peaceable. They will be men whom no kindness can soften, and whom conscious guilt will make our special enemies ; the life of no European will be safe where a mutineer yet lives in the jungle, or secreted in the houses of a town. He will be a Thug, a robber, and a mur derer by inclination and profession. Even the peaceful natives, especially those who have been faithful to us, will be in perpetual danger from the wretches who, in the hour of momentary triumph, could evince such gratuitous ferocity. We see nothing for it but that the whole of the mutineers should be outlawed—that a price should he paid for their capture, and that all who could not show some clearly extenuating circum stances should be at once executed without mercy. All the regiments which have murdered officers, civilians, women, and children, must be thus dealt with, for all must have been guilty as prin-‘ cipals or abettors. It is an awful prospect, but it is the deliberate justice, inflicted for proved guilt, which will most strike the Asiatic mind. It must contrast markedly with wild revenge, and with the wanton massacres of the natives in many a former case as well as the present one. WILLS AND CHARITABLE BEQUESTS.—The will of the Duke of Marlborough has been. sworn under 200,000/ personally. Mr. William Stone, of the " Casino," Dul wich hill, 400,0001.—illustrated Noes. THE BELFAST RIOTS.—The exemination of Mr. Green was renewed and concluded. ' The Rev. W. the Rev. C. Seaver, and Constable Hugh Heany were also examined, when the Court. rose. PAIISSIA.—Letters from Berlin state some surprise has been caused in that capital by the fact of the French ambassador having desired German officers and soldiers to send in their claims for the St. Helena medal. The French Eastern Railway and the Baden company have-agreed to connect their lines by an iron bridge over the Rhine. On this bridge there will also be a footway for passengers, but the bridge of boats will remain for horse and carriage traffic. NO .- TELEGRAPH TO BALMORAL.—The Indian express which reached London on Sunday afternoon, did not reach the Queen until Monday morning. AMERICAN MAlLS.—Liveripain, Saturday.—The Bri tish and North`Arnerican Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia Commander JamereStene, railed this forenoon for New York, with the United States and Canadian mails, 140 passengers, and a full cargo of merchandise on 'freight. DANCING CONGRESS AT VlENNA.—Another congress has just been held at Vienna—one of dancing masters ! It was attended not only by all the principal masters of that city, but by deputations from Prague and Odessa The object of it was to deliberate on the grave question of the introduction of new figures in dancing, and the congress, after much anxious reflection, came to the resolution of adopting a new quadrille invented by a dancing master of Prague, of the name of Eichler. SUICIDE OF MR. LEGREW, THE SCCILPTOR —Oa Satur day Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the residence of the late Mr. James Legrew, aged 54, St. Alban's-road, Kensington, sculptor, who committed suicide by blowing his brains out with a large horse pistol. Mrs. Jane Le grew, deceased's sister, who was deeply affected, said the deceased had for some months past laboured under mos• extraordinary delusions, and appeared quite an altered man. Oa Wednesday she was fetched from her owe residence in Victoria-road, and found that her brother had shot himself through the head. The deceaeed was unmarried. He was in affluent circumstances, and he knew of nothing that preyed on his mind. He was hell In high estimation as a sculptor • and artist (some of his productions may be seen iu the Crystal Palace.) Several servants spoke to the deceased's strange state of mind for months past, and Dr. Turner said' he found decease.] lying on the floor of the drawing room quite dead, his head being shattered by the explosion of the pistol. Death must have been almost instant.—Verdict, tem porary. insanity. Accounts from Frankfort confirm the news that Baron de Richberg, the Austrian Minister to the Diet, who was about to start on leave of absence, has received instructions to remain at his post, in consequence of the active interchange of notes Ir.; w taking place on the Holstein questions. rq 17 ' " BRIGADIER-GENERAL JACOB. TO THE EDITOR OP THB Mc. SIR,—In your Thursday's edition I notice a paragraph stating that Major John Jacob, of the Scinde Horse, is not the " Brigadier-Geueral" Jacob left in command of the division of the Bombay army now in Persia. I beg to correct that error. Colonel John Jacob was made " Brigadier-General" immediately on arriving in Persia, and placed in the command of the Cavalry Division. On Sir James Outram's leaving Persia for Calcutta, General Jacob was retained by the Bombay Government in com mand of the force still stationed at Bushire, though much against the wishes of the Governor-General, who, know ing the value of such an efficient officer, had applied for his services, to place him in command of a division of the Bengal army. The Lieut.-Col. Le Grand Jacob referred to is now i❑ Bombay, and, by the last accounts in the Bombay Times, had just been ordered to take command of the disturbed districts in Koolapore, where the mutiny of the 27th NJ, had just broken out. VERITAS. I beg to inclose my card. Sept. 17. The ex Queen Marie Amelie has for some days past been on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire at Chats worth. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador and Madame Muscrus are still sojourning at St. Leonards-on-Sea, and will not return to town for some weeks. His Excellency the Count d'Apponvi intends to leave Holland at the close of the month, to visit his estates in Hungary. His Excellency is expected to resume hi{ dut'es at Chandos house at the end of next month, or the first week in November. The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton aro still at Pro dick Castle, Isle of Arran. The duchess and youthful family are expected in town about the Bth of next month. Visconnt and Viscountess Palmerston left town on Saturday for Broadlands, Hants. Viscount Powerscourt will attain his majority on the 14th proximo, when there will be great festivities on his lordship's estates in Ireland. Lord and Lady Holland and Miss Fox have left S Ann's Hill for Paris. The Exeter Gazette says :—The friends of Viscount Ebrington are painfully anxious as to the sight of the noble viscount's remaining eye, the symptoms in connec• tion with which have recently assumed a somewhat alarming character. Lady Howard de Walden and the Hon. Miss Ellis have returned to En,gland from the Continent, and are staying on a visit with Lord and Lady Stanley of Alder ley, at Alderley-park, Cheshire. The Duke of Rutland, after remaining a few days in town, bas returned to Longshawe, Derbyshire. At the en 1 of the week his grace 'purposes to go to Belvoir Cas'li, for cub hunting. The Earl and Countess of Hardwicke and the Ladies Yorke have left Sidney Lodge, Hampshire, for Wimple Hall, Cambridgeshire. The coming of age of Viscount 11)yston, eldest son of the noble earl and countess, will shortly be celebrated at Wiinpole. The Countess of Jersey and Lady Clementina Villiers, after visiting Lord and Lady Willoughby d'Eresby, Drummond Castle, Perthshire, proceeded to join the Earl of Aberdeen's party, at Haddo House, whence they have since gone to Blair Athole, where a distinguished circle have assembled, on the invitation of the Duke and Duchess of Athole The Dowager Lady Bateman and the Hon. Misses Hanbury have left Eden Hall, Penrith, where they have been on a visit fit some time, on a tour in Scotland. Despatches were received on Saturday at the Cilonial Offico from the Governors of Hong Kong, Ceylon, and Mauritius. Despatches were sent to these colonies on Saturday evening. BRIGADIER-GENERAL HAVELOCK.—His Royal High ness the General Comrnanding-iu-Cniet has availed him self of the first opportunity presented to him of recognis ing the services of Brigadier-General Havelock in punishing the mutineers.: He has conferred upon him a go• Id-service pension of 1001. a-year.—United Service Gazette. SIR JAMES BROOKE.—The sum subscribed in Norfolk to make good the recent destruction of Sir James Brocke's library now amounts to 1381. 9s. Gd. Several donations of books have also been received. VISIT OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL TO SHEFFIELD.— Lord John Russell has consented to preside at the annual meeting of the ragged school, to be held in the music-hall on Fliday next. At a special meeting of the Town Council to be held on Friday next, it is intended to consider the propriety of presenting an address to his lordship on the occasion of this his first visit to Sheffield. We understand that Lord John Russell will be the guest of Alderman H. E. bole during his stay in Sheffield.—Sheffeld Time 4. AUSTRALIAN GOLD.—Statements differ with regard to the gold brought by the Norfolk, but the aniountis be lieved to be 424,0001. The latest departures announced from Melbourne and Sydney are the Red Jacket, with 264,0001, the California, with 16,0001., and the Pbceoi clan, with 10,3001., making, with those before reported, a total of 818,0001. still on its way, exclusive of the 373,0001. brought by the Columbian, and which will be received from Suez in about a fortnight. Of this 818,0001. 500,0001. is overdue. THE MEMBERS FOR NORWlCH.—Viscount Bury, M.P., nt Mr. Pa W. Schneider, M.P., the representatives of this city, met their constituents on Saturday evening, in the large room at the Royal Hotel, Norwich. The meet i,g was well attended, and both hon. members were well received. A vote of confidence in both was carried unanimously. REPRESENTATION OF GREENWICH. Committees have been formed at Greenwich, Woolwich, and .Deptford, for the purpose of raising a fund to pey off the liabilities of Mr. Townsend, and his friends are very sanguine of success. Mr. A. R. Bristow, solicitor, of Greenwich, who has been publicly accused by Mr. Townsend, of adopting the , most un fair means to drive him from the House of Commons, in order to provide a seat for Mr. M. Chambers, has published au address, in which he states that he has had nothing to do with the creditors of Mr. Townsend, and, with respect to future elections fo r th e b oroug h , h e h as made up his mind not to interfere on behalf of any , can didate, even as a professional agent. Mr. Bristow has ale) published a reply, which he forwarded to the Hon. W. F. Campbell, declining to act as the election agent for that gentleman, and states that he has sent similar replies to two other candidates. The friends of Mr. M. Chambers have now organised committees in every part of the borough, and are still actively engaged in obtaining signatures to a requisition, which, it is stated, will be presented to Mr. Chambers in a few days. THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDlA,.—Although the offer of Messrs. Croskey and Co. to establish a regular trans port line between Eoglaud and India, vix Suez, has been declined, the Government, it appears, have determined on sending as many troops as possible by that route. The mail steamer Ripon, which left Southampton yes tsrday, is to embark 200 soldiers at Malta for Alexan dria ; and orders have been received for the Australasian, which sails on the 12th proximo with the Australian mails, to be prepared for the conveyance to Alexandria of 400 troops, and probably a larger number. It is rumoured that a certain number of troops will be cent out oy each successive mail steamer that leaves South ampton for Alexandria, and that all the available steamers of the Peninsular and Oriental Company on the other side of the Isthmus are ordered down to Suez to carry them on as•they at rive there, THE OVERLAND MAIL FROII INDIA.—The arrange ments made by the General Post -office for the rapid con veyance of the Calcutta, China, aed Australian mails from Marseilles to London, and thence to the country districts, appear to have been moat successfully carried out. Telegraphic and written orders were transmitted to the railway authorities on both sides of the Channel, to the Mail Packet Service at Dover, and to the Brit'sh Consul, Mr. Bonham, at Calais. By express desire the new mail packet Prince Frederick William was sent to Calais to convey specially the mails and officers in charge and a special train was oorfddeersePdattcohbee a ' in nd re n ad ot in h e ir s ' s g ''altseDover for London under the same restrictions. The continental train arrived punctually at Calais, The mails, 43 boxes from India and China and nine from Australia, were shipped and the vessel was Hader weigh within 16 minute, and from the time she put on full speed to the moment of easing her engines off the Admiralty pier, running the whole 413- tance in a broadside swell from a strong wind N.N.E , otse hour and 33 minutes elapsed. Getting alongside, landing the heavy boxes, and- conveying them in hard trucks up the pier to the railway station; and putting them in the vans, occupied about 20 - minutes, and the special train etarted at 4.57, and reached London in an hour and 45 minutes. Thus the Post-office was' enabled to . despatch that portion of the mails for the country by the meaning .mail trains; and the metropolitan public had their letters by an early delivery, and the details of the momentous intelligence published in the daily papers at least two hours before the usual time.

According to the last account from Chalons, it is likely that the Emperor will leave on Tuesday for Stuttgard. As already stated his Majesty intends to stop at Strasburg on his way,, and to pass some hours there. His Majesty-has again directed that a reception similar to that which was given him at Rouen, ou his return from Osborne, shall alone take place: The Emperor, after stopping one day at Baden, is on the 24th to reach Catlsrnhe, and on the 25th is to be at Stuttgard. His Majesty is after wards to visit Darmstactt, and it is believed that on his return to France he will again go to Chalons to be present at some grand manoeuvres which are to precede the breaking up of the camp. " The Emperor," says the Courrier de Marseilles, " will, we have good reason to state, visit this ci;y after his visit to Stuttgardt. His Majesty, who takes a great interest in the works now in course of execution here, connected with the state naval establishments, desires to inspect them himself, The idea of a vast jetty will be then exaniined, and the works of the Imperial palace will probably be urged on more rapidly." • . A Paris correSpondent of the lndependanee of Brussels says :—" It is believed that one of the subjects which will be discussed by the Emperors of the French and of Russia, m their approaching in terview, will be the propriety of effecting a simul taneous diminution in the standing armies of Europe."

HONG KONG, JULY 16. Ismy last you were informed that the Earl of Elgin was about to proceed to the northward—it was said to Japan, but it was more generally be lieved that his lordship's destination was Pekin, to endeavour by diplomatic means to avert the horrors of war. A council of war had assembled, at which it was resolved that until a much larger military force arrived it would not be possible to keep Can ton, although its capture might be easily effected by the joint operations of the naval and military forces at present here. Soon after the deliberations were over the steamer Lancefield came in on the 14th inst. with much graver news from Bengal, and' tins determined the noble earl's resolution to proceed at once to Calcutta, and to send to the assistance of the Governor-General of India all the military forces destined for China. The utmost secresy was observed, or it is obvi ous that with our trade almost at a stand, the mer cantile community would have addressed his lord ship on the 'subject, and remonstrated against the seeming abandonment of his great mission, which for a time will have a bad effect on the Minds of the Chinese, and be construed into fear of the im perial displeasu e. With the foreign community but one opinion prevails, namely, that the Canton ese must be severely chastised to ensure future peace and the proper conduct of trade. Few are aware that the earl departs. Yesterday the 300 Royal Marines brought on by the Sanspariel were trans ferred to the Shannon, and , to-day his lordship embarks, quietly proceeding in the Shannon to Singapore and Calcutta, and taking with him her Majesty's steamer Pearl , of 20 guns, and 400 horse power. Referring to the council of war, the Register says that the question discussed was whether Canton shall be ts.ken before Lord Elgin presents himself at Pekin or not. The navy . are of opinion (says the Register) that the place can be taken and held. The army are of opinion that it can be taken, but cannot be Veld. ' The French squadron has left Macao for Castle Peak Bay, where the ships are now at anchor, and do not, it appears, proceed to Japan at present. The Admiral, having been relieved, sails to-day for France in the Virginie frigate. JULY 26. I am now in a position to inform you whai : , there is reason to. believe is the object of Lord Elgin's self imposed mission to Calcutta, in which, if his Excel lency succeeds, it will secure him a step in the peerage. Many of the Bengal regiments have been disarmed, not because they had shown decided symp toms of mutiny, but as aiprecautionary measure they were deprived of their arms, and if removed from the tempting influence of evil example they would he found, as beretofore, staunch and loyal. Lord Elgin has, on his own responsibility, after conferring with General Ashburnaw, gone to confer with Lori Canning, and to offer some of the Eni*ean regi ments in exchange for Bengal native troops, the disarmed sepoys, who will be. best kept out of mischief by giving them military service. During the • last war the Bengal and Madras native regi ments did signal service; indeed the Chinese troops were so much annoyed with black soldiers being employed against, them, that they directed mach of their fire against the ‘ black devils," as the sepoys were styled. Already Lord Elgin has ordered all European soldiers for China to pri ceed on to India and himself has taken on 3CO marines, calling at Singapore for any troops that may have arrived at that from England. The Governor- General may well and safely spare a dozen Sepoy regiments, who would be, I believe, as firm in their allegiance and as gallant in performing their mili tary duties in China, as during the late war. Should Lord. Elgin succeed in his mission, and the result turn out equal to expectation, his Excellency will have the blessing of his Sovereign and the thanks of the British nation. The Earl's stay at Calcutta will not exceed ten days or a fortnight, when his Excellency will return to China to carry out the original plan of operations. Already there is raised a cry here against Lord Elgin's apparent indifference to the important mis sion on which he has been specially sent, but when our citizens learn the cause of the Earl's departure, and the noble and patriotic aim he seeks to accom plish, they will see that his lordship has done his best to secure the safety of our Indian empire, and the effectual conduct of the expedition to China. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Shanghai leaves to-day with the bi-monthly mail to Gail°. In addition to the budget I despatched per her Ma jesty's ship Shannon, via Caleuuta, I enclose you the Overland Friend of China, from which several interesting items may be gathered. The Overland Friend of China, of the 25th July, says :—"Since the despatch of the last mail, mili tary operations about Canton have been nil; and there appears reason for believing that before we at tempt possession of the walls, the rebels will have concluded the business for us. From the provinces we learn that, under the renowned chief Le, the rebels gave battle to the Imperialists under Gen. Kwun, near Seu-hing, and gained a complete vic- tory, only three boats escaping to Canton to tell the result, and carrying Le's bravado challenge to Yeh to come on again as soon as he could g , t ready. Le's force is said to number 100,000 fighting men and 1,000 war vessels, and his Excellency Le's head quarters are now at the district city of Uet. The first-class city of Seu-bing is in very straitened cir cumstances. "Another rebel chief calhd. Leif', with 50,000 men, has had a hard battle with. Imperialist troops from Tsue-chow, and having gained the victory his Excollency is compelling the whole of the surround ing country people to submit to his rule. Fearing for the provincial city itself, Yeh is calling in all, the Tsue-chow men, and has stationed 1,000 of them in the south eastern suburbs. The le.iders of the 90 villages, too, have had to send their qu.,tas of armed men ; between two and three thousand of them are in the western suburbs. The Bannermen, Manchus, and the Lieut-Governor's guard, alto gether about 3,000, are trouped on the heights be yond the northern wall. " The flak-has of Ko-meng and six other dis tricts have united, and are burning and destroying wherever they go. Canton is the great point to es cape to, and there the poor starving wretches of tto surrounding districts are congregated by thousands —men, women, and children. SINGAPORE. SINGAPORE, AUG. 7. My last announced the departure of Lord Elgin for Calcutta. Her Mejesty's ships Shannon and Pearl conveyed nearly 400 troops from the wrecked transport Transit ; and on Sunday last the detach ment of her Majesty's 59th Regiment, destined for Hong Kong (where the headquarters of the regi ment are stationed), proceeded to Calcutta in the steamer Lancefield. All that now remain here are those belonging to the medical staff corps. Ord -1 s have been given by Lord E gin for all European troops to proceed to Calcutta, should they touch at this place en route to China. A few days ao her Majesty's steamer Inflexible, from Hong Kelly, arrived here, and next day proceeded to.the wreck of the Transit, in Bence Straits, for the purpose of taking on board the stores and crew of the un fortunate trausprt. Captain Bate, of her Majesty's ship Ac aeon, proceeded in the Inflexible to the scene of the - Wreck, for the purpose of sur veying the rock on- which the Transit was lost, preliminary to the commander and officers of that vessel be ng brought to a naval court-martial. Her Majesty's ship Racehorse is still here, waiting the arrival of the Amethyst, from China, when the Racehorse will sail for Eugland. On Sunday last her Majesty's steamer Encounter arrived here from Bangkok, :laving on board the Siamese embassy for England. The principal am bassador lauded next day under a saluts of nine teen guns. in a letter from the King of Siam to a gentleman here, the royal correspondent Writes : " Our embassy consists of 28 Siamese personages, of whom his Excellency Phia Montree Sari wong see, the full brother of his lordship Chowfiya Sari wongsee, S. P.K., is the first ambassador • and my beloved adopted son, his Honour Phra Noi Serb ,bedh Chaley, is the second ambassador." In addi tion to the two ambassadors, one representing the First and the other the Second King of Siam, there are four chief attaches, melted Chamun Rajareale, Noi Bichar Serbkick, Mau Rajoday, and Chainun I Mondir Bidecks. The embassy will leave this to morrow iu her Majesty's steamer Encounter, pro ceed through Bence, and Sunda Straits to Aden un der sail, and coaling at the la ter place will steam to Suez, from wheuee the Encounter will sail for England. A war steamer. will be in readiness at Alexandria to convey the embassy to England. Among the presents on board the Encounter is a widire elephant, intended for her Majesty Queen 'Victoria. The commercial news from Bangkok is 'highly unfavourable for ri , e and sugar, which were scarce th e and in great demand ; indeed, price of sugar was higher at Bangkok than at Si n gapore. Several European vessels were via•ting for cargoes. P. S. The ship Blervie Castle, from London, April 28, arrived here this morning , having on boa r d Major Robertson, Captains Wyatt, Clark, an d Inglefield, Lieut.

A letter, dated Constantinople, Sept. 9, says another change has just taken place in the Sultan's Ministry, and astonished every one here much more than the fall of Redschid. Fethi-Achmet Pasha, Grand Master of the Artillery, and brother in-law to the Sultan, has been superseded. Under ordinary circumstances a change in the comparatively subordinate direction of the Artillery would attract but little notice ; but Fethi-Achmet was not merely Grand Master of the Artillery, and his disgrace is a matter of no little consequ-nce in Constantinople politics. A favourite of the late Sultan - Mahtnoud, who married him to one of his daughters, he maintained his position and influence with the present Sultan, and has played an impor tant part in all the political intrigues of Constanti nople for the last 30 years. But justice will net allow me to say that this influence was acquired by legitimate means and used to promote the' interests of his master or his country. Sensual and depraved in the extreme, be has habitually pandered to the worst passions of the Sultan, and encouraged him in the most degrading vices. Night after night the Imperial calque would ba seen quietly gliding down the waters of the Bosphorus to land the Sultan at the little kiosk of Tophan6, where Fethi-Achmet was waiting to receive him. Here the two used to spend their evenings, and what orgies have taken place in that little kiosk I will not and cannot say. When the Sultan was elated with wine, and became expansive and confiding, he had nothing t) refuse to li;s favourite. Fethi-Achmet would then, in a moment when it suited his own selfish purposes, thwart the intentions of all the ministers combined. He has made and unmade more ministers than all the other Pashas put together. He belongs to no party and has no friends, though his dependents are numerous. He did not require friends; he was a party in himself. He governed the Sultan ; he was therefore dreaded and flattered by every suc cessive ministry. What circumstances have brought on this man's disgrace I cannot say positively. He was dismissed in the morning, and the night previous the Sultan had spent at, Tophane drinking and making merry as usual in his company. Can it be that the Sultan has suddenly taken a temperance resolution, and so sent away the favourite who led him on to drunktm ness ? Inshallah I as the Turks say ; but this is too good to be credible. Ike slireCtion of the Artillery has Wen-given to 1;141 - ievilea Vasif Pasha, the Turkish commander at Kars during the siege, who, at all events, is a general who has seen some service. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 17. Employes who are not connected. with the Finance Department aver that Baron Bruck has never even thought of emitting Reichsschatzscheine (Tr easurpb,ills), but there is reason to believe they are mistaken. If the information be correct, the Minister of Finances proposes to make Trea sury-bills, bearing 4 per cent. intarest, to the amount of - 150,000,000 florins, and with them to pay off the debt of the State to the Bank. The object of the Minister of Finances is to place the Bank in such a position that it may be able to re sume its cash payments on the Ist January, 1859, and he is said to be of opinion that it might do so with safety if bank notes to the amount of 150,000,000 florins were withdrawn from the cir culation. If Treasury-bills to the above-mentioned amount should be paid over to the Bank, the State domains, valued at 155,000,00011., will still he left in its hands . as' security. It appeals that there is more than one weighty objecti rn to the project .of the Finance Department. 1. Au emission of State notes would probably lead to a panic among the foreign holders of Government stock. 2. If there were again a floating or non-consolidated debt, the Austrians themselves would lose confidet,ce in their Government, and would greatlylraise the pi ices of the precious metals by their frantic eagerness to convert their paper money into silver or gold. When the State domains were cedtd it was under stood that they were to be sold, but as not a rood of land has yet been disposed oe the public is greatly inclined to fancy that the Bank is in the position of a child which has received a valuable coin as a present ; the money belongs to the child, but it is to be loAced at, not spent. It is to be foreseen, that if the Bank should resume its cash payments 15 months hence, its . metallic reserve of 1 100,000,000 flori n s will very soon find' itS way , across the frontiers. • AMERICA.

Government said it lacked sna cient information to recognise him. The American consul at Hong-Kong has written to Washington, denying that he took any part with the British in the attack on Canton, and declared his position was perfectly neutral. It is affirmed that the back of the new frigate Roanoke was certainly broken is launching. There are reports of damage to the cotton crop in Mississippi from heavy rains, and in Alabama from the ravages of the boll-worm. Sur plies of the new crop were slowly finding their cval to market.

They are very sober, though many of 6 °, 1- indulge in opium smoking. On the whole they a ir useful producers, and as they are extensive en s ,; tomers of the storekeepers they are not unpopa e with the trading part of the community. But th e diggers do not like them. They say the Chine s spoil the water, that they are dirty in their habitgr and great pilferers. The last accusation is not s u ed ported by the returns of the courts of justice, an,. I believe all the other accusations are exaggerat e % On the 4th of July the diggers of the Bucklan,„ river, nelr Beechworth, had a merrymaking on t h e ocmsioa of the great American holiday. Alarr number of diggers were assembled, and upon Bool e Impulse, the immediate "cause of which did not appear, about 300 of them made an attack epee, the Chinese encampment, and drove some 1,550 o' the unfortunate Coinese before them into the bush. Many of the retreating panic-stricken victims wer e beaten and illtreated, and it is reported that tvi ° or three have since died from exposure. Haul" driven the Chinese away from their homes, tr e e fired the tents and destroyed the property. So re , l l of the "rowdies" are in custody, and the law Wm" be put in force against them. This occurrence indicates the real danger we hag to apprehend from the Presence of large bodle 3c t Chinese at the several diggings. It is not tha the Chinese are likely to attack the Europell -but that the Europeans cannot be restrained from attackieg them. If the Government sa=nd% put down and punish this and similar attacks w habit of insubordination will be generated high l y de nimental, if not; fatal, to good order. t q The first Parliament of Victoria, under the Constitution, met on the 21st of Nov., and is Still in sesiou, without having completed much . w ° a l i3 O and with heavy bills of the paper which will t considerable time to work through committee.

We, have here officers in* army, gentlemen of no caliing, attorneys, gradeni. 0 barristers, who have tried their fortunes at the diggings. In other colonies I have known M a o labour effectively on thair own farms, and 0 4 , 0 make little, and in some cases large fortunes, of eould not have so laboured as the hired seivae t ! o s others. Women of condit ion, and even of edue 3 '; and accomplishmentS, turn to useful labour , W ,: f re much more facility tlr.n their husbands. Iha known women of considerable refinement nie n- 7. their own dairy, make butter and cheese for W eit ket, and even milk their own cows and bake. ol to own bread, and moreover do all these things bf . it than many of the rustics who have been at their lives. Women of tbis class would feel then' t : selves degraded, and would be degraded, hY forming these labours for an em pl o yer at "I s wages." From the great v ar i e ty o f persons l v „ 0 have been attracted to this colony by some ireg,7 notion that they could not fail to do well in a e° 1.1 ,. - 0 try where a f ew h un d re d th ous a n d , people sh s ; 3l many millions of gold annually among t,bem, I 3 . 0 1, convinced that the amount of labour not me nial which we have, among us is far greater in p: 0 1 3°v lion to population than iu any of our colonies. Now, to this class the possession of land in O W - venient situation is the only available recourse oief and the industrious and sober labourers who ha° saved some money swell their ranks. In the / nod! of submitting land for sale, in the mode of pronitie gating noiices, in the mode of selecting localitiA this numerous class has been wholly ignored. Ev efl the simple expedients of lots or various sizes' "lots to suit purchasers"—liasnot I:Seen resorted to. It seems to have been assumed also that if lots of 100 acres are " open for selection" after one trial Pla auction, any " unhireable" labourer has no grog ° . of complaint. " Here we offer land,' says the if •vernment, "if you have money you can buy you have no money, you have no more right t 0 " land than you have to a coach and six." auc l But my "miserable" friend looks around hire at , does see that, in fact, a few hundred favoured s ( 1 1-1 n ,,.. ters do get 42,000,000 acres without money, orflli ing a sin 41 annual rent ; and what the 03 o f capitalist really wants is, in a few words, a shar e e s the grass ; - that is, he says " a hundred ec,h;o are of little use to me if I am to be confined Witw io my own fens: s ; what I want is a little pasturageais addition to my arable."
