MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Tho Uverpool Cotton Market yesterday cies( d • with an animated feeling, and, compared with last week's rates, all descriptions were firm. The sales were estimated at 9,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken for export, and alike number on speculation. A slight improvement t )ok place in the Railway Shard Market, and prices advanced. The public sales of indigo, at which 13,132 chests will be offered, commenced yesterday. As will be seen by the following remarks contained in the circular of Messrs. Jewsbury 45 Co., the news from India has had an important influence upon the market for this article. " The trade met at the usual time, 10 o'clock, to commence the sales, but in consequence of the letters from India being only recorded that morning, an adjournment till 12 o'clock was proposed and carried in order to give time for the letters, Arc., to be read and to receive instructions. At 12 o'clock the sale commenced, under considerable excitement, there being a large attendance of both home and foreign buyers ; importers were very firm, and Bengal qualitties sold at an advance of 3d. to 6d. per lb. ; Kurpali, 3d. to 4d. per lb. advance, and Madras par to 2d. per lb. advance on last May rates. Importers have withdrawn freely today, Which they will probably continue to do under the present aspect of Indian affairs. 999 chests have passed to-day, 600 of which were withdrawn, 155 bought in, 241 sold. Tile following are the highest and lowest prices: 241 Bern: al, 3s. 7d. to 7s. 6d. per lb 104 Madras, 2s. 3d. to 3s. 9d. per lb. ; 36 Kurpah, 2s. 3d. to 4s. sd. per lb. ; 18 Calcutta Fig, ls. 6d. to ls. Bd. per lb. 600 withdrawn. There is rather more activity in the Silver Mar ket, preparations for the shipments on the 20th being now in progress. It is estimated that the account to be then dispatched will be about half a million sterling. There was no material alteration in the ra+es of three months bills drawn on the Continent yester day afternoon. Considerable additions are being made to the stock of bullion at the Bank of England, nearly all the late Australian arrivals being sold to the authorities yesterday, about 130,0001. was taken there, and it is expected that the remainder of the supply recently brought from Australia will be similarly appropriated. At the meeting of the Union Bank of London, held to-day, a dividend of 5 per cent., and a bonus of 7i per cent., was declared for the last six months, which; with the dividend and bonus paid in Jan. last, amount to 20 per cent., clear of income-tax, for the year ; and they have added 21 per cent. on the paid-up capital to the reserved fund. An un appropriated sum also remains of 20,3511. 19s. 9d., to be carried to profit and loss new account, for rebate, and a further sum of 1,226/. 12s. 6d. to undivided profit. It was resolved to hold a half yearly meeting in every year to present the accounts of the preceding six months. A meeting of the London and Westminster Bank Was also held to-day, at which a dividend was de• eared of six per cent. per annum, and also a bonus of six per cent. upon the capital. A sum of 9781. 6s. 7d. was added to the surplus fund, which, with interest, amounts to 154,7281. Gs. 7d. A further decline has taken place in the market for English Stocks, and the tendency is still very unfavourable. There is a strong disposition to speculate for a fallowing to the Indian disturbances; and the satisfactory prospects of the harvest and of the money market have no counteracting influence. Consols have been 911 Z., and 91i for money ; while for the account they have been 92k 2, and 912 4. The present quotations are 91i and 91f 2 respectively. TLe New Threes are 91l 92, and the Reduced also. Bank Stock is 213 to 215. India Bonds are naturally very depressed, being 20s. to Bs. discount. Exchequer Bonds are 98;34.

The 6 per Cents. have been 94i 4, and they are now 94 4 95 ; ditto 4 per Cents. are 102 k 4. Mexican 3 per Cents., 22i ; and Dutch 23 per Cents., 64 2. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :----Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 61 ; Mexican, 22 2 ; Peruvian, 80 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54 56; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 441 5i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 96 98 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 ; ditto Deferred, 25 I ; ditto Certificates, 5 6 ; ditto Passive, 5i 6. A very limited business has been done in the Railway Share Market, aryl the few transactions entered into have, in most instances, had reference to the settlem,nt of the account. A downward tendency in prices has taken place. Great Western have declined about 5s ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 5 5.; South-Western, 10s. ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 10s. ; and South-Eastern about ss. The French lines are very flat. Paris and Lyons, Northern of France, and Eastern of France having receded fully, to 1 per cent. Colonial lines have alio exhibited a downward tendency.

In the Miscellaneous Shares, no transactions of importance have taken place. Royal Mail Steam have declined to 58k, 591. 'BRIT' H FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

In The Sun of Friday last appeared the first an nouncement of the dreadful accident which hap pened in the River St. Lawrcnco, about 12 miles above Quebec, on the 26th of Juno, when the pas senger steamer Montreal, with more than 400 per sons on board, was destroyed by fire, and the greater portion of them IJerished. A more de tailed account of this disaster, in a letter of the 27th ult. from Quebec, was published by us on Monday. We are now in posse=sion of Canada papers to the 2d inst., in which we find the amplest particulars of this terrible affair, the consequences of which are brought nearer home to us by the fact that almost all the sufferers were emigrants who left Scotland no longer ago than the 18th of last May. and who were on their way from Quebec to the Western districts of the country. There were 330 steerage passengers, arid 10 cabin passengers, who sailed in the John M'Kenzil from the Clyde at the above date. Two died at sea. Of the steerage passengers who arrived in Canada 78 did aot goon by the steamer, Montreal, from Quebec, some preferring the railroad, and others remaining in that city. The remaining 256 of the Sc Atish emigrants, however, start,efrom Quebec at four o'clock on the afternoon of the 26th, by this ill-fated vessel, which in less than an hour afterwards was wrapped in flames. Only 5$ of them were saved. Besides the 200 Scotch emigants 50 or 60 other passengers, some of whom were Norwe gian emigrants, with a few French and Canadians, lost their lives. 200 dead bodies had at the latest date been recovered.

The emigrants saved are mostly in a destitute condition, but are taken care of at the St. Andrew's Home, Quebec. We select from the Canadian journals, a few affecting incidents of this great tragedy, which has caused the deepest sorrow and sympathy throughout the colony. While bodies were being recognised at Quebec, the scene was most lamentable. Wives looking for the dead bodies of husbands ; husbands looking for those of wives ; fathers looking for children ; chil dren for fathers, and brothers for sisters—it was a sight never to be forgotten. Frequently would you hear the wild agonising shriek of a female as she discovered the lost one, and the smothered choking sob of the strong man, as he came upon the cold bodies of those dear to him. Amongst the survivors was a venerable man named Sinclair, 88 years of age, and somewhat in firm. He, too, was searching for a loved one lost. As he examined face after face he kept saying, "No, no, that's not him ; that's not my lad," and his search proved fruitless for the time. He and his wife, also very old, were both saved, but their son, a young man of 20, after making superhuman exertions—which God blessed—to save his parents, himself perished. 'Tomas a noble death to die. He was a universal favourite with those on board. His care of his aged parents, his watchfulness and soli citude for their comfort, seem to have been above all praise. Ono young man among the rescued mourns as one almost bereft of hope or chance of comfort. He left the mother country with his only sister, full of life and courage, fitted for the struggle in this new world. When the alarm was given, his sister, frightened of the water, clung to his knees, and be sought him na `o leap into the river. He, believing their only chance of safety lay in that direction, leapt, taking her in his arms. Struggling to the surface, he lost hold of her. She sank, to rise no more ; and he feels himself half guilty of her death, and is like to go distracted. Among the noteworthy incidents of the disaster was the saving of her two children by Mrs. Bloom field, whose husband is in the employlof the Grand Trunk Company at Toront 3. She held to a rope with one band, keeping the head of one child above water with the other, and holding the other by fas tening her teeth in its dress. So heavy wasthe load that two of her teeth gave way and were lost; yet she still retained her hold. At last a boat came towards her, and men were screaming around her to he taken aboard. She could not scream, but a man seeing her situation brought the boat to her, telling them she needed aid most. Then her strength gave way at the prospect of relief and safety, and sbe came near drowning ere she could be lifted into the boat. She is a slight, delicate woman in appear ance, and one wonders how she was able to endure so much. The sub-cook of the steamer, of the name of Lamontagne, wrenched the door off his room, and being a most expert swimmer, succeeded in saving eight children, at different trips, on his door. We call this youth a hero. Another, a gentleman from Toronto, had collected some five or six children, whose parents were lost, into a place, not much ex posed to the fire. He stood by the bereaved, ter rified, and helpless little oneq, and was the last, with them, to leave the burning wreck. We are sorry we cannot give his name. Mr. John Brown, of Quebec, says that when he heard the cry of fire the passengers ran to where he was, so that it was impos-ible to move. Many, he thinks, were crushed to death. The long boat was then lowered, but so many jumped in that she sank at once. Among those in it, he perceived his wife, and jumping overboard he caught the tackling which still held the long boat, and holding on with ono arm, he caught his wife in the other, and held by the rope until it was burned,, when he sank with his wife into the water and remained unconscious until picked up. When taken out of the water his clothes were all bunted. He believes that every one in the long boat, with the exception of his wife whom he saved, perished. Mr. J. Meiklestates that he went down with his brother to meet their father, an old man between 70 and 80, and sister, with her four children. He was sitting in the saloon with his father after the boat had left Quebec, when his brother came in, and said they need not be afraid ; the boat had been on fire, but the flames had been put out. He then left them, and they saw him no more. Within a few minutes, however, the smoke became insufferable, and the flames burst through. His father's clothes caught fire, and notwithstanding all efforts to save him; the father was burned to death. The sister and her children wore saved. Some anecdotes are related of a very different character. It is said that the captain himself, who was saved, was seen to strike a woman's knuckles as she grasped the boat in which he was, and thrust her back into the water. Many of the dead bodies were plundered by a gang of ruffians on shore, and large sums of money, in on e case several hundred pounds, trken from the pockets of th e dead, whose surviving relatives are thus made penniless in a strange land. It is stated that the foreman of some raftsmen, in the employ of Messrs. Hamilton, of Hawkesbury, C.E., who was on board the Napoleon with his men, and bad their batteau with them, r efused at first to allow it to be be ela p u l n e c a h se ed d: sa ying he feared his employers would not The captain of the Napoleon threatened to pitch him overboard, and the indignation of the passengers was roused against him. Some of the crew of the Napoleon then launched the batteau, and the lumbermen having helped to man it, it rendered most effective service, and a large number of per sons were saved in it. Much blame has been cast upon the captain, and on the owners of the vessel, by the local journals, but the inquest, if it be properly conducted should prove where lies the fault. It seems that at the place where the Montreal was run towards the shore a reef intervenes which prevented her reach ing it. A short distance below is a bay and sandy beach. If she had been run on there all might have been saved. A Toronto paper says :—" Although the steam boat was insured for a large amount, we learn from • good authority that the agent of a western. insur ance company refused to take a risk on herots did also the agent of an English insurance company.. in this city. The reasons for Ruch refusal, we are told, were the unsafe condition of the -:boat, and lisr liability to take fire." ;:.311 AIL I: IVIAR,N.TS—Cihis Day.) RAILWAYS. RAILWAYS. 1 1 1.inbg.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. • The Lords' amendments to the Burslem and TunEtall Gas Bi l were eon-idered and agreed to. FINSBURY PARK (No. 2) BILL. On the motion of Mr. Charles FORSTER the stand ing order 212 was suspended and this bill-ordered to be read a third time to-morrow (Thursday). FALKIRK EURGIIS. 7 - Mr. COBBET I presented a petition from Mr. Merry, a member of the house and representative for thy Falkirk Burghs, against whose return a petition was now pend ing. The petitioner alleged that, on the 21st May, a petition was presented to the house, bearing the usual endorsements as to the recognisances, which was referred to a select committee. The principal allegation of the petitioner was that no such recognisances were entered into on the 21st May, nor with regard to the petition against the return referred to the committee. On the 19th May a petition went before the examiner-, and the recognisances, rte., entered into, but between the 19th and the presenting of the petition referred to the election committee, either a totally new petition was substituted, or the original petition on which the recog nizinces were entered WAS so altered by interlineations and erasures so as to tria,lce it substantially a different one. The petitioner (Ur. Merry) prayed the house to adopt the usual course in such matters, and take into its consideration the allegations of his petition, and do him justice on its merits, or refer it either to a select com mittee or to the committee appoii,ted to try the validity of the return. He moved that the petition be printed with the votes, and taken into consideration tc-:norrow (Thureday) at twelve o'clock. _ _ _ Mr. BLAKEMORE, one of the members appointed to try the return, said that the committee were to be sworn in to-morrow at twave o'clock, and he suggested th tt Mr. Merry's petition should first be disposed of- Sir G. GREY said that there would be plenty of time to dispose of this petition before the committee would sit. The committee woul I be sworn to-morrow, but they would not sit till the following day. The motion was agreed to. ELECTION COMMITTEES. The Committee appointed to try the petitions against the returns for the boroughs of Weymouth and Mal Jon were sworn, and obtained leave to sit to-morrow (Thuri day) at 11 o'clock. SLIGO ELECTION. Mc. I. BUTT presented a petition from Mr. Somers, a member of the house, complaining of a breach of the privileges of the house, in the institution of an action in the Court of Queen's Benth, in Ireland against the re turning officer for the borough of Sligo for rejecting a ♦ote at the last election, while a pe tition complaining of the same matter and of the return of the petitioner was pending in this house, and calling the attention of the houseithersto. He moved that this petition be printed and taken into considera tion to-morrow (Thursday) at 12 o'clock. Agreed to. MAYO ELECTION. Mr. SCHOLEFIEL D, chairman of the Mayo Elec tion Committee, moved that the evidence taken before the committee be printed, and ho gave notice that to morrow (Thursday) he should movi the suspension of the writ until such time as would enable the evidence to be in the bands of Her Majesty; (Hear, hear ) Agreed to. MEDICAL RELIEF. In answer to a question from Mr. MOODY, Mr. BOUVERIE said that the attention of the Poor Law Board had been called to a case that had happened in one of the unions of West Somerset relative to medi. cal poor law relief. It appeared that the overseer gave an order to a pauper far urgent medical relief, which the medical officer obeyed. The guardians refused to pay the charges, on which the medical man brought an action in the county court against the overseer for its recovery, but was unsuccessful. He (Hr. Bou verie) considered the ruling of the judge correct in point of law. The Poor Law Board bad given the guardians and parties interested in this case some advice on the matter, but it was not the intention of the Poor Law Board to alter the general law in re ference to these cases. Medical officers had, to a con siderable extent, the power in their own hands of knowing whether or not the cases were urgent, and he thought that a medical officer in possession of such facts wouid be jtur ified in disobeying such orders. _ _ JUDGMENTS EXECUTION, &c., BILL. The committee an this bill was resumed . -- On clause 9 some discussion ensued, after which Colonel FRENCH moved that the chairman do re port progress. The Committee divided. The numbers were— For the motion Against it Majority —2s On the motion that the clause he agreed to, Mr. MAGUIRE said that he repented the time of the committee was to be wasted in discussing this bill, which was so objectionable to Ireland, and he moved that the chairman do leave the chair. The LORD ADVOCATE hoped Irish members would not throw so many obstacles in the progress of this bill, and he asked the hon. member to withdraw his motion. Mr. SPOONEI reminded the committee that this bill was objectionable to'' English as well as Irish members. _ . . _ _ Mr. MAGAN thought it would be better to with• draw the bill and re-introduce it in an atuentled form next session. Hon. members were unable to agree on a single clause. Mr. WATKINS regretted the mode of opposition adopted towards this measure. He thought it would be more discreet if the hon. and learned member for Ayr, who had introduced the measure, would withdraw it this session. He looked upon the bill as a movement in the right direction, viz., uniformity of laws. Mr. MAGUIRE def e nded the c oarse he and those who acted with him had adopted w ith reference to this objectionable measure. The onlY wa y the y could pre vent the passing of the measure was by such motions as that bofore the house, as the hon. and learned mem ber for Ayr in charge of the bill, refused to withdraw the measure. Mr. CRAUFURD assented to the suggestion and aithdrew the bill. The bill was then witLdrascr). MARRIED tirOgEN BILL. Sir E. PERRY moved the seco nd reading of this bill. Sir J. Y. BULLER, in the absence of Mr. MALINS, moved that it be read a second time this day six months on the ground that its effect would be to create discom fort and dissension in fanailie- Mr. M. MILNES s upported of great importance, and he the bill. thought it should not Mr. MASSEY said that this was a subject be got rid of in the summary manner proposed by the amendment. He understood from the honour. able and learned member for Devonport, that the Attorney-General approved of the principle of the bill, but objected to certain details which he proposed to alter in committee, and consequently he (Mr. Massey) should not object to the s econd reading of the bill. (Hear, hear.) There were clauses in the bill which if allowed to remain would unsettle the present state of married life in connection with property. The sub ject was one that called for cau tious aid delicate le g is lation, and had very properlY b een brought before the house, but he feared it would be impossible to pass such a measure this session. It would be better to refer the bill to a select committee, when no doubt the Government would take the subject up and introduce a bill next session. Mr. HADFIELD supported the reference of the bill to a select committee. Mr. SPOONER objected to the principle laid down in the bill that immediately on its pass. ing married women ,should be liable for their hus band's debts, and the consequences resulting therefrom. He opposed the second reading of the bill. Mr. BAGWELL was at a loss to understand why a bill of this kind should be confined a threerl'iage scdaily t countries, the bill should to to ok E p n ia g e la a n b d e . twe li en e t th ho e u i g n h h t ab t i h t a a t nt a s s ionftetrhnei embrace all the married women of the three countries. (Laughter ) Sir E. PERRY said that if the bill went to a com mittee he would take care that it should apply to the provisions i been onb ge s o made e a d de the for t o bill,the their bill. o He d United Kingdom. Th e bill ' ,v a s intended for the relief of the middle and lower classes of the country, in reference to the property of ma rried women. There was no merit e in nied the o t b h j a e t cti b o y as th th e a p t mar ried women might be s ued for their husband's debts.

[LEFT ETEAKING Mr. J. Lowther Southey, who served as secretary to Real-Admiral Sir George Lambert, K.C.8., during the' Burmese war, is appointed Secretary to Rear-Admiral Baynes, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW BOND STREET.—Yester day morning, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a fire broke out at No. 64, New Bond-street, which was not extinguished until a considerable amount of property was destroyed. The cause is unknown. The loss will fall on the Sun, Phoenix, and other offices. STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—Prices are higher to-day for all elawseg of yarns, with a fair amount of business doing both for home consumption and amongst shippers. Manufacturers are asking more for cloth than they were last week, which somewhat checks their sales. What is done is at the improved rates generally.

Pref United Mexican AIISUEL. THE MAYO ELECTION. The Committee on the Mayo Eleeion have de cided that Mr. George Henry Moore was not duly elected, on account of the undue influence exerci t eed by his agents. The importance of this judgment can hardly be overrated. The power of recent legislation to put a stop to such practices as have for years disgraced Irish elections is now est tblished. The Committee declare " that undue influence and spiritual intimidation prevailed to a considerable extent at the last election for the county of Mayo," and that " the Rev. Peter Conway and the Rev. Luke Ryan wee so prominently active that the Committee deem it their duty to report t'ieir con duct to the house, in order that such steps may he aken as may seem to the house to be proper and necessary." It is to be hoped that the precedent of this case will govern the decisions of all future Committees, and that "spiritual intimidation" may t4ke its place among the offences for which a seat is furfe ted. Should the house be able to in flict any punishment on Fathers Conway and Ryan for their gross abuse of their sacrel functions, we shall rejoice extremely ; but, in any cas-, let it be known that such transgressions will only bring defeat on the parties whom they are intended to be friend. The great thing is to establish that such iuterference and such terrorism as have been proved against these Irish priests is illegal, and vitiates an election. The present decision makes tltis point no longer doubtful, and from this time we may look for the abatement of a most scandalous evil. It is generally admitted that bribery and intimi dation must be repressed with a strong hand. Whatever strength there may be in the cry for the Ballot arises from the fact that in bygone years, and in some degree at present, men have been se duced or forced from the proper exercise of their electoral privilege by influences which i. seemed impossible to remove, an I which, therefore, it was necessary to evade. But lately we find that these abuses are becoming less and less. No one can pretend that the late elections in the United Kingdom did not represent molt accurately the spirit of the country. We are living down bribery, corruption, and intimidation. A landowner or an employer of labour may use his power unfairly in a few cases, but as a general rule the milt whose opinions are most popular with the comti news , obtains his seat. This is partly owing to improved public morality, partly to the fear of public censure, partly to the stringent legislation of the last few years. Parliament has proceeded to cut the ground from under the supporters of the Ballot by remov ing the abuses which caused men to look to secret voting as their only hope. In the course which it has commenced it will do right to continue until all the traditional excesses of election time have passed away. Now, when landlords and manufac turers are giving up their habits of interference, when even Government abstains from forcing the consciences of Dockyard labourers, the spiritual des pots of Ireland must also learn moderation. As to Archbishop M'Hale's theory, that the vote of a Catholic should be determined by the opinion of his priest, it cannot be assented to for a moment. Certainly, with any colloquy between shepherd and sheep we have nothing to do. If every voter in Mayo were to consult his parish priest or his bishop, and willingly follow his advice, no ono would have the right to interfere, or could prove any cause for interference ; but when the clergyman seeks to impose his wishes on unwilling laymen, when he denounces future perdition to the ignorant, in order to terrify them into compliance, still more when directly or indirectly he threateas them with popular vengeance or social excommunication, then the country will interfere. It is decided that " spiritual intimidation" comes within the meaning of the term " undue influence," and, as undue in fluence unseats the candidate in whose favour it is employed, the holy canvassers of the sister island must learn what prudence they can. In the present case it was proved that the priests made political harangues from the altar ; that they threatened damnation to the voters for Col. Higgins, denouncing them collectively and by name ; that, on account of these inflammatory speeches, many of the electors were in danger of their lives, and that such arts were mainly the cause of Mr. Moore's victory. It is also known that two witnesses who deposed to these facts before the committee have been se verely beaten since their return to Ireland, and that one of them now lies in a precarious state. If our election system is to be brought to anything like freedom and purity, such doings must be put down. To unseat an English member for employ ing too large a number of messengers at a few shillings a bead, and to spare an Irish member whose priestly agents had been guilty of intimida tion in its most atrocious form, would indeed be a perversion of justice. So Mr. G. H. Moore must bid adieu to Mayo, and be content to stand as a warning for Catholic aspirants to political eminence. —Times. SIR COLIN CAMPBELL AND SIR PATRICK GRANT: The following letter has been addressed to the Edttor of the Times:— Sir,—The next mail to India will carry with it numerous copies of the Times of this morning for the officers of the army and for the civilians in that country, The previous mail will have landed Sir Colin Campbell at Calcutta. In your leading article of this morning there are remarks upon that officer which are likely to injure his military cha racter, and which will assuredly tend to indispose the English in India towards him, and towards an acquiescence in the policy which has sent him there as Commander-in-Chief. Although Sir Colin Campbell, to my regret, has left me behind, and I am no loinger one of his staff, still I cannot remain mute when I see a renewal of attempts to sap his reputation, and, at the risk of exposing myself to misconstruction and to hostility from a formidable body of Company's officers, I beg to trouble you with a few remarks upon this leading article. There is an old adage abont comparisons, and it is to be borne iu mind that I have not originated this one. I believe those who are well acquainted with the antecedents of Sir Patrick Grant and of Sir Colin Campbell would not have thought it for the advantage of the former that such a comparison should have been made. The writer of the article says—... I' Public opinion, not only of India, lout of this coun try, points to Sir Patrick Grant as just the man for the occasion, and possessed of the very experience, temper, and otner qualities for dealing with the native soldiers. It certainly seems much be regretted that any mere etiquette or other formality should make it necessary to supersede him (Sir P. Grant), perhaps at the moment of success, or while carrying out plans of which he ;Ilene is fully master. Sir Colin Campbell, though a brave and good soldier, and without a superior in command of a brigade, has never yet bad even the opportunies of show ing those powers of combination necessary for the sup pression of a wide-spread mutiny—perhaps for there conquest of an immense empire. Here, then, weir. 3 qualities which we seem to be throwing away." I should wish to be int - armed on what occasion Sir Patrick Grant ever commanded evena, 000 men against an enemy in the field, or when he sup pressed any mutiny. Sir Patrick Grant is an officer of Sepoys—not only of Sepoye, but of Ben gal Sepoys. Unless he be totally free from the pre judices of that class of officers, he is, so far, as un suitable a person as could have been placed in command during the present emergency. The 'universal feeling of these officers has been an un bounded admiration of the Bengal Sepoy, that is, o f the high caste Sepoy, in a single regiment of whom these will be frequently found 400 priests, e te l n ve s s e . pre l j li j ud s ic a e d s m o ir f c a a ti s o te n hthasanbtne carried d i tu ns to say nothing of others scarcely l ess i m b ued with e ee h ms an extent that it has scarcely is r a a .p u p rd s e a r r e e d d even now, when thes e Brahmins have officers and their wives and children. Sir Patrick Grant was Lord Gough's Adjutant-General, and from his positio n on the Staff he was necessarily his Lordship' s principal advis'r during the many ques tionable battles on the Sutlei and in the Punjab. But 1 believe he held no separate command. It may be stated that it is a mistake to assert that Sir Colin Campbell is only " without a supe rior in command of a brigade," for he c,ommanded. at Lahore and at Peshawur, and manoeuvred in the field against a fierce enemy, in many affairs where he was alone responsible, a force of five or six bat teries of artillery, as many cavalry regi ments, and 14 battalions of infantry. In these affairs he , was 1 constantly successful. At one per iod he ;,'td the command of more than 50,000 men of alt arms. Her Majesty's army in India will hail his arrival as they would a large accession to the ft rce. The hard-working and intelligent officers will know that they will be appreciated and upheld ; the idle and ignorant will believe and tremble. I deny the justice of the statement that public opinion agrees to your eulogies on Sir Patrick Grant at the expense of Sir Colin Campbell, and I wait with confidence for a very different andwell-pronounced award from that public opinion, which was once misled, when Sir Colin Campbell shall have held his command for six months. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, A. C. STERLING, Lieutenant-Colonel. 3 , South-place, Knightsbridge, S.W., July 14. ;ion, ford ) 20 20 20 20 201 100 100 100 100 all 10 100 100 2s(-1(1 lOs all IOL I ,I all all all all 40 25 100 40 FOR: _~-,
