ftlIE SUN, LONDON, (From the Calcutta. Hurkartt of .7une 5. ) • The , 4sth-and-57(h Regimeots at Ferozepore, the 9th, which .g . trrisoned the stations of. Allygurh, • Mynpeore., and Ettwah, portions of the 13th, 48th, 71st Native Infantry, anti two troops of the 7th Cavalry at Lucknow, have followed the exam - pie set them by the Meerut revolters. At Feroze pore the mutineers were attacked by the 61th Foot, the loth Cavalry, and Artillery with such effect that the 57th Native Infantry at once laid down their arms; and the 45th, after losing many of their number, fled in confusion. The 9th Native In fantry made no attempt to murder their officers,• contenting themselves with the plunder of the trea suriee. At Lucknow the mutiny brake out in the same manner as at Meerut, commencing with the burning of almost every thatched house near the native lines. But Sir Henry Lawrence was ready for the exelolion. He at once turned out with her Majesty's 32(1Foet, a battery of Artillery, and that I p - .rtiOrvotthe 7th Cavalry which remained faithful, and attacked the insurgents ; the la'ter were not I only defeated,' but.p.orsned for 30 miles. Several of their number were kdle 1 and a few taken. These lat'er have since niKt the fate which they deserved, by being,blown from guns--a death more calculated th %11 •,,ey other to strike terror into the native.min.d. ln the course of this eructate we have:ta dep!ore the Les of about' a hundred .-Europeans, includ -ing five officers, whose names have not yet, with 0 , q3 exception, beau announced. The exception is Bripdier .Handscemb, a fine alooldier : the par ticulars, of his death have not y , ,t been received. Every,credit is due to Sir Henry Lawrence, not only, :, for toe prompt measures he a'iopted as soon as the „ i lnutiny• brake but, hut for having effectuallYpte 7-Ten fed any outbreak or manifestation in t?,e.ciy of Ludkndw, suppo4ed to be the 11A-bed of disaffec- tion. , Dims sinca been a , certained that the muti 'beers, after leaving Lucknow, bent their 'steps. to wards ,Seetapore, hoping to gain over the sepoys 'atati , .yriedthel - e., .0a their arrival befors the place, however, they found the 41st Native Infntry and the . . , 9th • Irregular Infantry drawn ite to receive them. They at once beat a retreat, and moved, it is supposed, - in the direction of Delhi. In the meanwhile the insurgen s in that city have been busily engaged in strengthening their position. By the arrival of stla,gglers from other mutinous re ~~iment=, acid tie e I frOm all parts of India, in numbers have increased, it is said, t twenty . i ll'usal4d.-• They have Lail Khan, a 1 Subadar' Of the 3,1 Ol l ap y ll their general in chief, with Buldea Singh, a 's va b l. as th , :it sieend in command.ar of the 20th ultimo, _ e Their first step was to prnciaim the . .Empiror t Delhi, or his 'ion" Kir • of In tia'; their seum.l to fortify ' the f •na ,r -T . , l.; . res: They g had rimpin means as their disposal a large siege train and ina'nense storebsloisfpurpdose, er.

They - entrenched t'lerwie,lves ou the hei.tit s near the t icet with no ordinary skirl; but Ori the fol'owing d.ty they wer , l a:tacked by a portion of the Europe ., , f',..rce from Meerut, and were almost to a . sho t - do r, As a matter of course, their guns in l porition felt into our hands. The grand advance against Delhi has been post puaokl, t=artly from the want of carriage, and partly t) enable• the . sioge train, which his been sent for from,Puilbur to arriv@. It is now exp2cto I that the art tc:t will take place on the 9th or 10th in-t. -THE .MASSACRE AT DELHI.

I c ome over from Meerut during night, awl Ivro evi (lea ly p:epara perpet: ate the most awful crimes -- • -- , as they were fully armed and apparently wild with rage and excitement. They entered the Calcutta gat) without opposition Irem any of the police, and meths _ their way directly towards Deriow gunge, shooting down in their progress all the Earopeans they met with. Among the first vic tims were Mr. Simon Fraser, the Governor Gene ral's agent ; Captain Douglas, his assistant ; and Mr. R. Nixon, chief clerk i n their . oftice. Notice was immediately sent to the brigadier, and a regi ment (the 54th M.N.), with two guns from De Tessier's Battery were sent down . . The 54th marched through the Cashmere gate in good order, but on the approach of some of the sowars, the s:- poys rushed suddenly to the side of the road, leav ing their officers in the middle of the road, upon whom the troopers immediately came at a gallop, anal one a fter the other shot the m-down. The officers were, with the exception of Colonel Ripley, unarmed. The colonel shot two of them before he fell ; .but with this exception, and one said to have been shot by Mr. Fraser, .none fell. After butcher ing all the officers of the 54th the troopers dis mounted, and went among the sepoys of the 54th s haking hands with them, and, it may be supposed, thanking them or their forbearance in not firing on the murderers of their officers. The troopers were perfectly collected • they rode up to their victims at full gallop, pulled up suddenly, fired their pistols_ and retreated. The countenances of the troopers wore the expression of maniacs • one was a mete youth rushing abput, flourishing his sword, and cl's playing all ' the fury of a man under the influ-, ence of bhang. They were in full uniform, and some had medals. Had the officers of the 28th 54t,b, and 74th Native Infantry been armed with revolvers they might have shot some of them, hut'had they done so it is still a doubtful question whether their own-men would not have bayone•ed them. • The 54th made some show of firing their muskets, but their shots went of course ove r the heeds of-the troopers, who had manifestly full con fidence in the reception they were to. meet. with. Their plans must have been evidently well' ma tured. Meanwhile the people of the city were collecting for mischief . ; - several bungalows at l)eriowgunge hail been fired, and as the day -ad vanced the goojurs of the villages around Delhi le-came aliVe to the chances of loot, and were ready for action. - The city was up:in. arms, every,Euro peen residence vas searched, the.trooperadeclaring that they'did not want propay - butlife, and when they retired the rabble rushed in, and made a clean weep, froni. the punkahs to the floor mats. "It is difficult to form-an estimate of the num ber killed, -most of the lists already publ.shed are itcefreet, happily, several persons said to be killed are still in existence, and-some who escaped are.-not down at all. • . . -f , ••• "As soon as the extent of t he outbreak was known, it besame necessary for the residents to ser-k come place . of safety ; and most of them made their way to the Flagstaff Towel.' where the gun is fired. A company of the 38th 'Native Infantry and two guns were ctationed . here, and a large party ,of ladies - and gentlemen, including the brigadier, brigade major, &c., were here well armed, with the intention of defending themselves egetinst the troopers. The tower is round and of solid brickwork, and WAS well adapted for the pur po-oa ; better, in fact, than any other building in Delh. In selecting this spot the brigadier dis played considerable judgment, but he did not then know the extent of the catastrophe 7"for although the general demeanour of the troops was anything bet snbord'n ite, the actual state of the case was amkeoen. Many of the- officers of the 38th still hid confidence in their men, and endeavoured to reason with them when they showed symptoms of • ineabordination ; but on - Colonel Graves harangu ing the company stet:oiled at the Flagstaff Tower, it became evident that they were in a state of mutiny, and that the slightest thing would induce them to turn at once against their officers and the other Europeans assembled on the hill. About a quarter to four the magazine in the city exploded —a puff of wbi'e smoke and the report of a gun preceded the cloud of red dust which rose like a huge' coronet - into the air; the- explosion that fol lowed was not so great as might have been expected, hut the effect was complete. It was soon known t: at the explosion was not accidental, but the gal lant act of Lieu'. Willoughby, Commissary of Ord pa.nce, Delhi, and it is pleasing to be able to add that this brave young man escaped with a severe scorching. About 1,500 persons, rebels, are 8..01- - to have been up with the magazine. .- " On the apt etran.ce of the clouds of dust in the air, the company of the 38th made a rush to thnr arms, which were piled near them ; the object they 111.41 in view is not clearly define - 1, but it is supposed that they were influenced by a sudden desire to at rtaek thote within the tower. Soon after this the . 38th took possession of two guns sent up to rein force the party at the tower, and on this becoming known, the brigadier advised all who could leave 'to do so, intending to folldw when the rest had all departed. Conveyances - being ie waiting most of the ladies got away, the gentlemen following on horseb tck ; 'and thus a safe retreat was effected to- 1 wards Kurnaul for some, -while others branched off to Meerut. Many hair-1 - readth escapes have been related to the writ r---lidies remaining 8 or 10 d tys in the jungle trusting to the natives for protection and foed, in several instances freely given, and it is gratifying to know that several persons -supposed :to - have failed victims are now safe at Meerut, Keirnaul, Urnbaila, or Simla. . .- " Throughent the whole of this cruel business the Goejsrs appe sr t 3 have been most active in the I work of deVastation. Houses were burnt, and pro perty stolen and .destroyed, by them in the most wanton manner, Banda of th-m were lying in waitesg after nightfall all along the line of road 20 mites out of Delhi, on the watch for the refugees, some of whom were molested and would hive been robbed, and. perhaps murdered, had not decisive measures been adopted. Mr. Wagentrela.tr and family, flying for bare life in his own carriage, was -attacked five times, his wife receiving some severe blows from iron-bound lathees, and himself asword cut on the arm a and a blow ou the back of the neck from a lathe -a But they contrived to evade them all by firmness and judgment, shooting fOur and wounding two of the ruffians in self-defence, and eventually making good their re' reat to Kurnaul. . " The escape of Sir T. Metcalfe was most provi vdential. . After being three days in Delhi after the outbreak, he escaped into the jungles, hiding wherever he could, and at length, after 10 days, finding his way to Hansee. "Several Europeans, (said to number 48) were taken to the palace, or perhaps went there for pro tection ; these were taken care of by the King of Delhi ; but the sowars of the 3d Cavalry, whose thirst for European blood hid not been quenched, rested not till they were all given up to them and murdered one by one in cold blood. . " The troopers are said later in the day to have pointed to their legs before they murdered their victims, and called attention to thumarks of their .manacles, asking if they were not justified in' what they were doing. This may or may not be the case, but is certain that the severe sentence on the mutineers of the 3d Cavalry was the immediate cause of the Meerut massacre, which preceded that et Delhi by only a. few hours. In- both stations, the people of the city awl bazaar appear to have been very active, and to have aided the mutineers in their bloody took -- . ... . . "Half measures will not do when the daY_ of re tribution arrives ; it' is,to be, hoped thet. a...lesson way be taug'it net easily forgotten, and Delhi ra• main no longer in the pages of history."

Twenty-six guns in all have been captured to-day, and large quantities of en trenching tools." • The tall of Delhi will in all probability be. the extinguishment of the mutiny, in so far as active demonstration of s'mpathy with it is concerned, and the task will devolve upon Government to provide against a repetition of these tragedies.

At 6 o'clock this morning the mail steamer Singapore arrived here, having on board the Right Hon. Lord Elgin, General Ashburnham, and their respective staffs. Lord Elgin remains a guest of the governor's - until the arrival of her Majesty's ship Shannon, when his Excellency wi.!l proceed on fo China. General Ashburnham and suite proceed on in the Singapore to-morrow direct for Hong Kong. The mail steamer Norna leaves for Galle at noon to-day. Her Majesty's ship Spartan, Captain Sir William Hoste, Bart., is still here waiting the arrival of the Racehorse from China to relieve her, when the former will sail for England. The hon. company's s'eam frigate Auckland isnow here, but leaves to-morrow for Calcutta with despatches fi om Lord Elgin, and for the conveyance of European troops for Bengal. The Chinese residents here are quiet at present, but the disastrous news from India has had a bad effect upon their minds, as might naturally be expected. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. REPORT OF THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM MAY 27TH TO JUNE 10TH. The English mail from London of the llula ult., per Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Ganges reached Bombay on the sth instant. The tightness in our money market, reported in our last, bag increased during the past fortnight, and the banks have again raised their rates of. interest 1 per cent. all round ; arid as there is at present a sort of panic in the bazaar, it is probable we may haVe,to record in ou r next a much worse state of matters than now exist. Government 4 per cent, paper is unsaleable, and may be quoted nominally from 80 to 82, and fives 99, and some of our local joint stock shares have given way m proportion. ceeded in calming the men by in.terviews and ad dresses, and in awing them by precautionary mea sures. " The Irregular Cavalry displayed a fiery zeal, Artnness and loyalty, of which advantage was at once taken to throw out guards and pickets to pro tect the station and defend the guns, treasury, and gaol, while their patrols were to give instant alarm to the authorities and their corps, 'kept ready Sad dled and armed, should they observe the least sign of an outbreak. Orders were issued to Captain Mackenzie, their commandant, instantly to increase hi s regiment to 1,000 sowars, and numbers who had been waiting for . entertainment, were imme diately enrolled. " The women and children were sent off to 'the bills; and for the officers and Europeins thus pre pared for extremities a rallying point was agreed on. ",Thecommissioner sent off circulars throughout the . , district, .direcOng i all sowars on leave to put themselves at the dispos;trof the civil powers, and threw out detachments of police on the roads, to act as a wedge against straggling mutineers from Delhi, who coming on it, were quickly and securely conducted till cost the city. of Bareilly. After three Dights, during which, the.lrregul ars were, I believe, under arms,. sided ; he good men, who form the great major y; j e4i ri 0 ntl y feeling themselves the stronger, and then' - r . erituring to speak out. The native rooiments have now of themselves thr own out men ofrduty as running sentries round the:r lines, to prOent the :appr each of straggling muti neers. The citation is - Much quieter, and there is nothing to fcak if only a decisive blow is struck at Delhi. of the excitement arose from au utaellited fear - on the part of the sepoys. They knew' Jliaktna i ty - of their num ber bad con mitted them,7dves, aincl`they dreaded the vengeance of the Government, whom they knew to be cogni sant of their errors ; and this feeling was dexte rously seize I .oit and encouraged by those scoundrels both in and out of the regiments, who, having nothing to loss, and hopes of - gaining much, are always ready for a dist orha nce. " When the crisis shall have passed, stern and nnfliuching iretigeatme on those who have mutinied and been guilty of atrocities, tempefed with jodi -ooius and gracious cleamitcy to those who were .only misled into a willingness to join' l eai, l tvill, I fondly hope, tend grestly to create and Consolidate a lasting I. yalty throughout our 'native troops."— Eajlisitnactm, June 3. • BEAWR, .:Exiract of aiet'erf oni Colonel Dixon, at Bmwr, d4tel M3,3t29 1857 : v."

The mail steamer Aden ari ived here on the night of the 22d inst., bringing dates from England to the 10th of April. An outward mail leaves to-day per steamer Norna to Galle. _ _ Among tbe passengers per Aden were Major- Gener.d. Sir R. Garrett and Colonel the Hon. W. L. Pakenham. _ _ _ The great increase of support with which Lord Palmerston will return to Parliament is, of course, gratifying to all parties here, and with such a man as Lord Elgin to carry out the energetic and, as far as can be seen as yet, the wise policy of Govern nient, we look forward to a speedy and satisfactory settlement Of the present matter of dispute with the. Cantonese, and establishment of a future inter course with the Chinese which will prove equally, beneficial to Chinese as to foreigners. Since the 10th inst., the date of our last letter, the occurrences here have been unimportant. The dates from the Cant'Cin River are to the 23d. inst. Tnereis little to report there. The junks a e again, we hear, appearing in large numbers, and in Fatshaii-creek over 100, most of them of the largest s ze, were anchored, and batteries were erected on shore, the Chinese being apparently under the impression that an attack on Fatshan was contem plated by our forces. We hear it is the inten tion, as soon as the, gunboats are ready, to clear the creeks of the numerous junks, which, being in the vicinity of out shops, give the Chinese oppor tunities of causing' considerable annoyance. The Tee-totum Fort is now garrisoned by men from the Raleigh. • We understand _ the tenders for raising Her Majesty's ship Raleigh were very high—from $40,000 to $50,000. It is likely she will be sold where she now and Commodore Keppel will hoist his flag on board , ne of the vessels in the harbour, the Admiral being desirous at the present time to have the services of such au officer as Commodore Keppel. There h•tve been lately some noble additions to the naval force in these waters. Her Majesty's steamer Highflyer, Captain Shad well, arrived on the 13th of May with the gun boats, F(TF ster, Haughty, Plover, and Opossum. TNto of the gunboats were in charge of the steamer from England ; the other two she fell in with at the Cape, and one or ether was always towing for a distance of say, 13,000 mi'es. Seven of these small boats have now arrived here without meeting accident. Her Majesty's steamfrigate Tribune, Captain Rigel], arrived here from the Sandwich Isles on the 14'h inst. She sailed froaa Honolulu on the 20th of April. Her Majesty's ship Amethyst, Captain T. Gren fall arrived on the 231 inst.. from Singapore. The steamer Highflyer left for the Pratas Sho d on the 14th inst., as it was reported - some Chinese from the Anna (Brit'sh owned), wrecked there on the 10th inst,, were on the shoal. Th e y mus t h ave got off in junks, as no oue belonging to the vessel was seen. The steamer returned here on the 19th inst. A short time since the bodies of two foreigners, lashed back to back, - were seen in the water near Macao. One had, apparently, been behealei, and the ether disewboweli.d. Our advices from the coast do not contain any thing of much innyntanee. The accounts appears to be more. satisfactory as regards the state of the country in the interior. At Ningpo another disturbance had t tken place between I he Por uguele lorcha men and the Clanton b atmen, the latter assi-ted by some French sailors. The cause of the riots is that the Portuguese en deavour to monopolise the convoying system, and thy are apparently heedless of their ci:msular amtha rity. Our Foochow advice's are to tha 19th inst. Less uneasiness was felt about the rebels, and fresh efforts . were bring made to send money into the country for investment in tea ; six small chops new t'ongous have arrived from neighbouring districts, the quality not equal to No. 1 lishows, and after consi terable competition sold for 33i taels to 36i tads. Shipped off similar teas last year were bought at 23 taels to 26 taels. One vessel, the Queen of Mar, had been d.espatChed to England, and three were on the bntb. Her Majesty's steamer Samp3on, and brig Camilla were at Foochow. Amoy letters are t 9 the 20th inst. Disturbances in the neight.ourhood had interfemd with trade, but at the;last less uneasiness Wa3 felt, At . Hongkong - all rem-tins quiet. Wo have to mention the stoppage of payments by the American firm, Mc-sirs. King and Co. Their liabilities are said to he and.er $150,000, mostly dna tt) Chinese. His Excellency Sir John Bowring has intimated that he has been infOrmed by Lord Clarendon that compensation for losses lately sustained by Btiti..l subjects will be demanded from the Chinese Go, vet nment: In trade hero we have few transactions to report.

DEPARTURE OF GENERAL SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. We announced yesterday the departure of this gallant and distinguished officer for India. Ac companied by his aides de camp, Major Collinson and Sir David Baird, he left the London-bridge stition by the express mail train at 8.30 p.m. At Dover he was received by Captain Smithett and a number of officers of bis favourite corps, the 42d, with whom he entered into the most friendly con verse during the few minutes previous to embark ation, and on bidding them " good bye," expressed his assurance that they would soon follow him. On embarking in. the Royal and Imperial mail steam p icket Imperatrice, a spontaneous cheer marked the depa' ture of the favourite chief. We may add to the following account from a con temporary, that so htirried was the general's ar rangements, that it was after banking hours that it was found he required money to "pay the way," and shopkeepers - and tradesmen supplied the "ready" for the expedition "Sir Colin Campbell is at this moment speeding by express through France to catch the outward mad., which has been delayed for the purpose of conveying the new Commander 7 in-Qhief to the scene of his duties. It was on Satn day only that the Government received intelligence of ttte melancholy death of General A.fiaon, who appears to have been struck down by cholera while hastening to the scene of action. General Sir. IL So merset is the officer next in seniority to Gen. Anson, and be will theretoro assume the acting command until the arrival of instructions from I±l,,gland. On Saturday afternoon only was the post offered to Sir Colin, with the question, 'How soon could he start l' Most men would have considered that next mail' would have been a prompt and satisfactory answer. Sir Colin Campbell, to his honour, with the simplicity and ardour of a true hero, replied.'To-morrow. morning ! Sop the. Mar seilles boat, and I'll catch her, and I can get all I want in Calcutta as well as in London.' The gallant veteran "il therefore off to the scene of former triumphs where, under Sir C. Napier, in command of a brigade, he took part in that immortal Scinde campaign, one of the most brilliant achievements of our Indian military history." Sir Colin Campbell arrived in Paris to-day, ac. conopanied by a number of superior officers. He pro ceeds to Marseilles immediately. HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SPENCER HOUSE.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1857, In another part of our impression will be found nll details of the progress of events in India. Although not worso than might be expected, there are unquestionably grave causes, we shall not say or alarm—but for that prontpt and vigorous action which can alone (poll the military insubor- dination, that so extensively prevails throughout the sepoys of the Bengal Army. Wo find whole regiments rising en masse and turning their arms against those by whom thoy were entrusted to their hands, from whom they received pay and clothing, and whose bread and salt they had eaten. Tn others there aro numerous desertions, men, who had previously appeared faithful, abandoning their colours on the most frivolous and insufficient pre teat=, probably going off to join the insur gent, and take service with the Mock King oi Delhi ; or, possibly, to carry on a guerilla war. fare in various districts. It is manifest, from what has already come to light, that the religious complaints have been mere pretexts, paltry excuses, to give a different colour to the real feelings ; and perhaps to gain the co-operation of a few fanatics amongst the troops and the Native population. We must, then, strive to ascertain, so far as practicable, the true state of affairs—to search out the causes that have led to these calamitous results. This in quiry must be conducted without foar or favour, prejudice or affection. The matter is of sucti vast importance to the welfare, prosperity, and security of the Anglo-Indian Empire, that no man, or body of men, can be screened or protected. Let us seek the fountain and origin of the alleged griev ances, discover how far they aro well-founded or the reverse, and distribute strict justice to all 111 HE A T RE-R 0Y A 1,, DRURY-LANE.

So far as the mutineers are concerned, the ringleaders must be brought to condign punish ment. Nothing could possibly justify the course they have adopted—not only deserting from their ranks, but being guilty of the most heartless and sanguinary atrocities, not merely against their officers, but against every European, and sacrifi cing even helpless women and innocent children to their insane wrath ! There can be no tempo rising, no compromise in such a case. The mutiny must be suppressed at any cost, the spirit of insubordination thoroughly and completely crushed, and, as we have stated, the ringleaders severely punished. Unless that be accomplished, the prestige by which a handful of Europeans have controlled 120,000,000 of Asiatics, will be for ever destroyed, and our empire sapped at its very foundation. The best means have been adopted for that purpose. Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL has shown that he is "ready, aye ready for the field." The gallant veteran started At a moment's notice, and his very name will be worth ten thou sand soldiers. He has exhibited the promp titude- of brave old CHARLIE NA?IER, and will, we trust and believe, prove himself a worthy successor to that renowned general !

Every effort must be made !_Any petty economy in the present instance would be wholly misplaced. It would indeed be " a penny wise, and pound foolish policy." It appears that 20,000 English troops are to be des patched to the scene of action, and that their places are to be supplied by calling out the regi ments of militia cc recently disembodied. What ever other troops can be spared should also be sent, and a short act might be passed authorising regiments of militia, who volunteer for the pur pose of participating in the contest. We are greatly mistaken if these gallant moa will not readily respond to the demands that may be made, and prove themselves fully wor thy of the confidence that has been reposed in their fidelity and bravery. There will be no lack of transports. Tile Royal Navy mmt bear its share in the struggle. Our leviathan ships of war could carry out, with but little delay, many thousand troops, and we are satisfied that both officers and men would willingly sacrifice every personal feeling, and rejoice to make View selves useful in any way that may be required fur the national benefit. We shall not now enter into the vexed ques tion of " who is t) blame"--whether the regi mental officers, or the company's regulations. There are, we fear, faults on both sides. Very bitter feelings towards the regiment il officers have unquestionably been displayed, and this would lead to the inference, that they had not sufficiently cultivated the good will of those placed under their command. It is said that there has been too much of an exclusive feeling displayed; that they have held aloof from the native officers, and assumed the airs of a superior race. These matters may, however, be fully and clearly explained, and GOD forbid that wo should condemn, or even censure a gallant body of men, our own brethren engaged in arduous and impor tant d uties, without giving them ample opportunities of being heard in their own defence. On the other hand, it is boldly asserted that the vexatious regulations of the Company are mainly re sponsible. We do not venture to prejudge the issue. All we demand is a stringent investigation, that will place the responsibility on the right shoul ders, and such measures, as the results of that in vestigation may prove to be imperatively required. No time can be lost. The first step may decide the contest ; that step should be taken under the sanction of Parliament. Tlae nation has already suffered sufficiently from the abdication of its legis lative functions, and short as is the period previous to the prorogation, opinions may be ventilated, and measures carried, that will place matters on a right foundation, and ou•iblo us to await patiently the event, confident that we have done all in our power to make it that which the honour, welfare, and security of our Sovereign Lady the QUEEN and her dominions, imperatively demand. All honour to Mr. DILLWYN l He has taken the bull fairly by the horns, and met the vtxa tious opposition of the hereditary branch of the Legislature, to the just claims of Baron ROTUS CHILD, or rather of the Electors of the City o f London—for it is their privilege rather than his that has beta so long kept in abeyance—in the only proper manner. The Honourable Gentle man has given notice that, on Friday nexi.., he will move a resolution to the effect that "whereas the Act of the Ist and 2d of VICTORIA was pissed to allow persons to take oaths in the form which CANTERBURY HALL, Westminster -road.— OPEN EVERY EVENING. —The follow lig company of Vocalists are engaged for the performa nce o f elections from all the popular Operas, Madrigals, Choruses, aloes, Duets, dtc., viz.: Miss E.

This is as it should be. It is the course which Lor JOHN RUSSELL should long since have adopted, as we have repeatedly explained, and no later than yesterday repeated. It is the best solution of the difficulty that court be discovered, and we heartily rejoice that even at the eleventh hour it has been determined fairly to take the sense of the House on the important and interesting question. It now remains to be seen whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his followers will have the man liness to confess and atone for the seri ous error into which they were betrayed. if so, well ! If not, we cannot give them credit, neither for magnanimity or sincerity. Oa such a point the C ►morons House of Parliament ought to be, and is the sole judge of its own privileges. Pro vided the substantial portion of the oaths be taken—that is all that can be required. As we have repeatedly proved, the adjuration "and this I declare on the true faith of a Christian," is a mere form which may, and can be, dispensed with, whenever the party declares it not to be binding on his conscience. It is but the stamp, while the promissory part., is the sterling metal, that gives intrinsic value to the pledge. The House has already gone much further in the case of Quaker members. For Messrs. PEASE and BOUGHT it dispensed not only with the form,. but with the oath itself, accepting a declaration, as the substantial part, in place of a direct appeal to the Deity. And why ? Simply because that declaration was " binding on the conscience" of the person who made it, and his religious feelings forbade any further sanction. Here was a prece dent or rather a succession of precedents directly in point. Here was the path indicated that ought unhesitatingly to have been pursued. It was Lord JOHN RUSSELL that raised the obstacle that has ever since proved insuperable, and may continue to resist the tide of public opinion, for a succession of years. He it was who, with honeyed words of liberality and good will, to our Hebrew fellow-citizens, prevented Baron ROTHSCHILD and Alderman SALomorts from assuming the positions to which they were entitled by the suffrages of large and influential consti tuencies. His intentions might have been good. We have no doubt that he believed the opposi tion of the Lords could have been overcome ; but in place of taking the simple, easy, and straightforward course, he raised a needless im pediment which he could never subsequently overcome. His was the fate of another FRANIC ENSTEIN, who was haunted and baffled to the end of his career by the monster he had himself created. It will be seen from an advertisement in ano ther part of our impression that many influential members have requested a meeting of their brother representatives, on Thursday, to tali* into consi deration the rejection of the Parliamentary Oaths Bill. If a suitable demonstratiqn be made—if the pressure be sufficiently stringent—Ministers must succumb ! And there is the greater prospect of such a proceeding, inasmuch as thdy are not, in any degree, committed. It is `• the calm JOHNNY who upset the coach" that must bear the brunt of the occasion ; and it has been proved) beyond the possibility of a doubt, that he can be surrendered without any extraordinary de2,ree of compunction, whenever the magnitude of the crisis may demand such a sacrifice. The best course for the ex-Premier would be to yield with a good grace.
