In the present st tte of intense public excitement respecting Eistern affsirs, more especially those relating to India and Cnioa, there is a very general desire for the speedy reassemtling of Parliament. It is true, that the members of the Government are beginning to have their eyes opened to the magnitude and paramount importance of the emergency—that Cabinet Councils are held at unusual and inconvenient seasons, when Ministers have been accustomed to take their ease, or dis port themselves according to their individual fancies—and that many valuable resolutions have been adopted, such as despatching additional forces to India—some by the Overland route—by calling out several additional Militia Regiments, and also by giving facilities to the recruiting ser geant, by lowering the standard of height and increasing that of age, for those willing t.. accept the QUEEN'S shilling. These are all well in their way, and we readily concede to Ministers the credit to which they are well entitled there for. But there are other problems which cannot be properly solved without the intervention of tho Legislature. However anxious Ministers may be to do their duty, they cannot of their own autho rity meet every emergency that may arise. Be fore the prorogation we painted out the urgent necessity of demanding extraordinary powers, - which would have been readily granted. That advice was disregarded. The vote taken on ac count of the militia was totally inadequate. There are many of that gallant body who would eagerly volunteer for India, or China, if convinced that they would not be separat e d from officers whom they regarded with affectionate respect, and per manently divestel of their characteristics as mili tiamen. It is needless to say how valuable such stalwart auxiliaries might be. But they could not be used, however earnest their own wishes or pressing the emergency, until an Act of Parlia ment had been first duly had and obtained. Besides, the Government of the United King dom is essentially Parliamentary. It is of Queen, Lords, and Commons ; and alhough th:! Eseentive may act on an emergency, it is highly dnairable that it should have the advice and assist ance of the eolliteral branches of the Legislature on every tryi ng occas i on ; and who can say that the present is not one peculiarly so ? Then are complaints as to the administration of Anglo - Indian affiirA, which should be ful'y and promptly iavesti4ated. It is m ote than hinted that Lord CANNING is not duly quail fled for the discharge of the arduous and impor tant duties confided to his hands, that a Governor- General of greater energy and decision, might, by accepting the aid, freely and cordially tendered by " JUNG BAHADOOR," better known in this country as the Nepaulese Ambassador, have everted the horrible massacre at Cawnpore (that iickened the hearts of the people) and removed the thrilling anxiety felt respecting the fate of Luck now, of its heroic garrison, and the helpless fugi tives who have sought shelter and protection within its walls. It may also be essential to render Sir COLIN Camrsznn, the Commander in whom the nation kas unlimited confidence, perfectly indepen dent of any civilian authority, either that of Lord CANNING, or of Mr. J. P. GaANT, or the native deputy, who has been pitchforked into a position in which no native ought to be placed under existing cir cumstances. It is strongly rumoured that the ;allant General has already been compelled to assert his own dignity, and to prevent himself from being fettered and paralysed by the red tapist trammels in which his predecessor, Sir PATRICK GB.A.NT, was enveloped. These are wafters which imperatively demand the attention of Parliament, and in which any procrastination is a serious offence against the community, not only of India, but of the United Kingiom. But there is another and even a stronger ground, why Parliament should be convened for an early day. We believe that the East India Company will require further funds before next spring. The enormous military expenditure, far beyond what was anticipated two minths since, and which must be still further increased, the treasuries plundered, and revenues uncol lected, prove beyond a possibility of doubt, that the compaay took a too sanguine estimate of their resources, when they stated that they had ample funds to carry on the war until February next. ' They had a considerable balance on hand—some three millions sterling—but that would go but a short way in providing for the transport from England, pay, and conveyance up the country, to the scene of action, of 40,000 English troops with Indian allowances, to siy nothing of the losses by plunder of the treasuries And of the means by which they may be reple nished. The pay of the mutineers will certainly tease ; but then there are irregular forces raised nr about to be raised—Sikhs and Goorkhas, and ,thers—and compensation to be given to pecu niary sufferers, that will fully counterbalance the savings occasioned by the defalcation of the Ben ;al army. A loan, and one of no inconsiderable (mount, must therefore be resorted to, and the important question arises, whether that loan ,hould be taken in India or England. This requires Parliamentary consideration, And a distinct reference to the constitutional guardians of the public purse. It is a nockery and delusion to say that there is no relationship between the pecuniary affairs of India ind of England—that the taxpayers of the Unit ed Kingdom are not concerned in the amount of in erest, which is to be wholly defrayed out of the Indian revenues. We directly assert the contrary —that these charges must sooner or later fill on he United Kingdom, when the anomalous limbic Government is abolished, and Hindostan becomes an integral portion of her MA JESTY'S dominions, under the direct rule of Queen VICTORIA. Our exchequer will, in fact, profit by any surplus, or, as is by no means im• possible, bave to provide for any deficiency. It herefore becomes a matter of serious moment at what rate of interest the anticipated loan may be , :onol uded. If at present made exclusively on Indian revenues, it will scarcely be obtained under 6 per cent ; if with a British guarantee, it will pro i)ably be had at 3i, or at the outside, at 3i per cent. This is certainly worth look- • ng to, and Parliament is alone qualified t.) pronounce an opinion. The affairs of China, tDo, which created such excitement some seven months since, demand notice. It was that question that 'ed to the appeal of the country. It was to it and to the universal Anti-Yehite feeling, that many honourable gentlemen owe their seats. Surely, then, it is not too much to anticipate that they should willingly submit to any personal inconve nience for the purpose of discharging efficiently the trust reposed in them. Let Parliament then forthwith be summoned for an autumnal or a winter session, and if that course be neglected, let meetings be called in the metropolis and throughout the provinces to express the public feeling in reference to the omission. That we are to have the promised Reform Bill appears to be taken for granted—Lord J. RUSSELL seemed to assume it at Sheffield, as an understood thing ; at the Bury demonstration it was spoken of in a similar manner. One of our ablest weekly contemporaries has argued strongly in fa- Your of its introduction this session ; it thinks that even should Indian affairs occupy much par liamentary time, which it seems inclined to doubt, yet for variety's sake, as a relief to the monotony of constant debating on one subject, another of great interest will also be needed. Well, we, of course, shall be only too happy to give the whole subject onr earnest attention, and happy enough to have two topics of almost equal though of such diverse interest to report upon, and to comment on in our pages. We by no means object to the first reading of a Reform Bill being the first notice given by Ministers, and the first business of the comibg session. If we are to have one let it ho in time for us to canvass it, for the Commons to de bate it, and for the Lords not to snub it in the end of July or beginning of August. We do repeat, for we are not among the pro phets of evil, that the first advice; after Parlia ment meetq, may be that the mutiny has been crushed, or has quailed, before the 35,000 addi tional troops which by that time will have spread themselves over the whole ground now occupied by the mutineers. If so, the public anxiety being so much relieved, Parliament and the Premier will feel bound to redeem their pledge so delibe rately given last session. Lord JOHN RIISSELL, too, will certainly not let the opportunity slip if Lord PALXERSTON does ; there will therefore probably be a move. Of course it is just possible that the news from India will be very different to what we decidedly expect, and should that be the case, it may be difficult to secure the attention requisita both in and out of Parliament. In that case, even, some contend that as the Home Government can do no more than send out the requi site military reinforcements and supplie:., the attention of those members of the Government not immediately connected with the War Department will not be much occupied by India. VERNON SMITH and L :,rd PANMURE, with Sir CHARLES 'WOOD, and p2rhaps the Eirl of CLARENDON, can attend to the details of Lillian demands; and we can very well spare the whole Of the above-mentioned gentlemen:A services in the construction of a Reform Bill. Thero is reason in all this, we freely admit, and if only the two great subjects be not cunningly played off against each other, we shall rejoioe to see Indian Reform and Representative Reform taken in hand together. Let the country, how• ever, as well as the Houses of Parliament prepare for earnest discussion and hard work, if we are to have two great Reforms in one year. A single Home Government for India—the basis of all Indian reform—will be resisted by the whole strength of the aristocracy ; if for no other reasons, because, first, their mediocre men will not then do for the offices of Indian Minister and Governor-General, and because the Indian and Queen's army must then be amalgamated. The Leaden Hall Directors will of course put forth all their strength to keep a dozen good berths for themselves, and the large patronage they still continue so disinterestedly to retain. They well know that in a small board, under a Minister of State responsible to Parliament, they could find a place only by pre-eminent ability or knowledge of India. Then, for the most part, the defenders of Indian abuses are the same party as will ob struct honest reform at home ; that party, there fore, will be doubly energetic under the impulse of a double set of vested abuses to defend ; abuses which, like most in England, and we suppose elsewhere, are chiefly in favour of the titled or the wealthy. If, then, we are to have almost a reconstruction of our Indian Government and a Reform Bill worth having too, there will be plenty of work for us. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said his best to the working people of Sheffield, when they presented him an address on his presiding at the Ragged School Meeting at that town, but it was impossible for language to be more vague. Is he invited to take office, and fears, therefore, to commit himself ? We believe Mr. DISRAELI would have made a better bid under such auspicious circumstances. Had the Hon. Member for Bucks received an address, as a politician, from working men, moil certainly he would have offered them some mini mum of electoral qualification, coupled no doubt with two or three clever Conservative adjustments, by which he would bring the weight of the new voters into the Tory scale ; and all fair too, i❑ party warfare. If the Conservatives can, as we believe they can, extend the franchise very largely to the working classes, and can yet by an appor tionment of members according to population secure the majority of their votes for themselves —then let the Whigs look to their places and their seats I "I go heartily with the working men of this country to see their franchises ex tended, and that all classes of people may have increased satisfaction in the working of their in stitutions," said Lord JOHN. We believe, as we have already observed that the leader of the Opposition would have said more, certainly he would have said as much, and as certainly Mr. WALPOLE, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, and Lard STAN LEY wouli have all followed him. Lord JOHN must make better bids than this. Government, of course, makes no sign. Even Mr. OSBORNE, once so fluent of Radical utterances, could not be brought to let out a single hint, at Dover, of what we are to expect in the way of Reform. The utmost ho could do was to express regret that, "if we are to have another Reform Bill, one eminent public man, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who, whatever may have been his political backslidings, is yet a fine speci men of the English gentleman, and of the English Liberal, and wkose name is indissolubly associated with the brightest triumphs of the Liberal cause, is not a member of the Government." What does this mean ? Is a Reform Bill to be brought in, and is Lord Joins RUSSELL somehow to be got into the Government 7 Is it desirable to e-m -ciliate his entire good-will, if possible ? And, since Lord PALMERSTON cannot give way yet, is Lord JOHN to be placed in the Cabinet, with the charge of the New Reform Bill, as the indemni fication for his not taking the highest post ? If Lord JOHN RUSSELL be wanted as a colleagu perhaps nothing could more appropriately com pensate fur a subordinate position than to make him virtually Secretary of State to a Reform of the Representation. That office he could take with out humiliation—but then he must carry the Bdi, and one worth having too. He must carry it, even if he dissolve Parliament to do it.

Despatches were sent on Saturday from the Colonitl office to the Governors of Ilona Kong, Ceylon, Mauri tius, and Gibraltar. --- The Horticultural Society of London hold a great fruit exhibition at Wi lts's Rooms on the 24th. It is underst)od, ae a settled arrangement, that the meeting of the British Association for 1859 is to be help at Aberdeen, Gen. , Sabine having received from Sir Jas. Clark a communication expressing the willingness of, the- Prince Consort to accept the office of president when formally proposed to him by the council nest year.

The distance thus traveled will be 59 miles, through a very pretty country, arid a part of Seotlanu which the Q.ieen has not yet vieltel. Haddo-house, the seat of the Eirl of Aberdeen, is rather an old building, very plain in appearance, and having beautiful grounds tastefully laid out. L.,rti and Lady Haddo are residing with the noble Earl, and we believe that on the present occasion her Maj esty's visit will partake as little as possible of public display. On the morning of tue 14th the Court will leave Iladdo-house for Abei leen, but it is not yet se'dhcl as to whether her Majesty will post nine miles to the old Meldruin rail way, and thence by the Great North Railway, or dir-e; o Aberdeen, a distance, of 14 miles ; but it is arranged that the Court will travel south by the Scuttn. , l2 North•Eestern and Scottish Central to Ediubur,;b, arriving ,there at half-past G o'clock, and, thence cri the morning of the 15th, by the Coast line and Groat Northern direct to London.

EDINBURGH.—The Pubscriptions to the India Fund have nearly reached 3,500/. The Parnea Gazette announces that a subscription bay been opened at Parn a for a monument to Correggio. The Count de Rayneval, late French Ambasi.Lidor at Rome, now appointed to the Court of St. Petersburg, has arrived in Paris from Stnttgardt. The TVestern Times states that Lord Ebrington has hen enjoying the recreation of partridge shooting in Lincolnshire. The /tussian Medical Times mentions that the late wi r ntailed noon Russia the loss of 382 medical men.— Medical Times. We are enabled to state that the total ascertained sub. eeriptions from all quarters to the ladian Fund amount already to nearly 100,0001. This is exclusive of the amount subscribed in the East. The electric telegraph between Lisbon and London, ♦ia Madrid, is now open throughout the entire length. The rates of transmission, however, are high, and t become generally useful must be reduced. LORD PANMURE AND THE INDLAN CRISIL—Lord Pant:mire left his shooting quarters last week and at tended a meeting of the county gentlemen at Forfar, where he spoke very warmly in favour of the fund now being raised for the sufferers in India, and then pro ceeded to London to attend a Privy Council. M. Perret, the editor of the well kn. - Iwn medical jour nal the Moniteur des Hopitaux, has been sentenced to three months' imprisonment for speaking (not in his journal, but by a word of mouth) dkrespectfully of the Emperor Napoleon. The Journal de Frankfort states that efforts are being made in Prussia to organise a European Electric Telegraph union. It the project is carried oat the jour nal argues that it will simplify the transmission of mes sages and cause the tariff of charges to be lowered. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPII IN THE UNITED STATES.— It is stated in a letter recently received from New York, that the messages sent by the electric tele,graph during the course of last year in the United States am ,unt to considerably above 13,000,000. This is "goiog ahead" with a vengeance. According to letters from Naples, Mount Vesuvius, which, after a long eruption of rot 1953 th 41 35 days, had ceased to send forth lava, recommenced on the 210, and the flame., rising high into the air, presented at night a magnificent spectacle. Mount Etna is also in eruption. Before leaving Biarritz the Empress Eugenie, wl:o frequently male excursions in the two vessels of war sta tioned in the roadstead, bad the young prince dressed as a sailor, and took him on board the Rine Hortenee.

STEAM TO NEW' YORK.—Tde steamship Vanderbilt, Captain Edward Higgins, sailed fr , rn Havre and Cores on Saturday, for Nev York, full of passengers an cargo. The North Star, Captain Lefevre, of the samo line, leaves Southampton on Wednesday next, with the German, French, and English mails, for the United States. THE POTATO DISEASE.—The potato disease has sur 7 - denly reappeared in the north of Scotland, and in the w.-ek has proved so fatal that more than half the crop is already destroyed. The harvest, however, is now over, and the crop secured in excellent condition. It is fully an average crop. Numerous changes are about to be made among the troops which compose the garrison of Paris. The 3d ani sth Regiments of Cuira.siers forming part of the division of cavalry of reserve at Versailles, under the command of General d'Allonville, are to exchange quarters with tip ! Ist and 4th Cuirassiers, at present stationed at lac and Valenciennes. DEITH OP Ma. LOCKE.—It tricot gainful duty J. P., at his residence, H ass l e Nl ount. M r.

Harrison, Watson, and Co., which has just falid, had, many years ago, ceased to have any pecuniary inte rest in that firm.—llull Packet. KNIGHTHOOD FOR THE LORD MAYOR.—It is glnc rally reported, in circles likely to be well-informed up n the subject, that upon the expiration of his year of alio«, the present Lord Mayor (Alderman T. Q. Finnic) w 11 receive from her Majesty the honour of knighthood, is acknowledgment of her Majesty's satisfaction at the great and successful exertions he has made in raising a fund for the relief of the sufferers by the mutiny in India. An extraordinary general meeting of the London and North-Western Railway Company is to be held on the oth The directors ask authority to subscribe towards the Buxton Extension capital of the Stockport, Dieley, and Whaley-bridge Railway Company, to the extent of 105,0001. It is also proposed to purchase the Euston and Victoria Hotels ; and to convert stock of the Shropshire Union Company into London and North-Western stock. The French Government has received despatches from Ava, the capital of the Birrnan Empire, dated the 25th o f J u ly. They announce that the Birrnan Goverrime,,t remains a tranquil and eyen impassive spectator of the events which are going forward in British India. The di tricts in Pegu last occupied by the British troops are garrisoned by merely a few sepoys, and the towns of RAngoori, Bissy and the ca n t onment of Taye-Mys, which were reduced to ashes the sa me d ay, are still a heap of CATTLE FRO3I THE NORTH OP EUROPE.—The imper iations of cattle from the North of Europe continue. Oa Friday the City of Norwich steamer arrived at Lewes tuft with 177 bcasts and 64 sheep ; and en Saturday morning the Leipsiot b came into th e h ar b our w ith ii second consignment of 259 beasts and 379 sheep. The stcck (which included, as usual, some extremely flue animals) were forwarded to Loudon for the metropolitan market this day (Monday). In the Bankruptcy Court an audit meeting was hell on Saturday under the bankruptcy of Colonel W. P. Waugh, of the London and Eastern Bank. Toe assets realised amount to only abut 1,0001, and as the proofs may amount to upwards of a quarter of a million, there is, of course, no prospect of any ea'ly dividend. A sun of 10,0001. the right to which is in dispute between the assignees and the London and Eacteru Bank, has been deposited in the Bank of aigland, to abide the result of an arbitration. THE MASSACRE AT atIVNPORE.—In the fearful list of victims to the fiendish malignity of Nana Sahib the name of " Godfrey Heathcote, Mrs. Heathcote, and baby Heathcote," attracts the eye of a Chesterfield reader, and we regret to say that they are relatives (though distant) of our respected magistrate of the same name. Mr. Heathcote was of the branch of the family settled in Nottiogh arns hi re , and had b e en employed in Indiathe last ten y ears sts__a surgeon to a-native regiment. This unfo r t una t e gentleman came to fut.:land on leave last summer, and then visited a family residin g in Ches.- terfield, a ccompan i e d b y br his wife ; poor " baby Ileette cute" h as b een born einee that period. —Derb y shire Co:trier.

CRINOLINE.—TtIe Frciechuetz, a most popular Ham burg j ,, urnal, has the following :—A thrifty housewife remarked, a few days acre, that an iron hoop was want ing on a tub she bad placed to catch the rain wat-r. Ail the servants were cilteetioned, but no clue could be found, and she came to the conclu3ion that some youtig ster had abstracted tho hoop lir a toy. Next Sunday was the cook's monthly holiday, and as she was leaving the house her mistress noted with surprise the peculiar bulk of her dress. The cock dblushed and falter.el, .e which induced her mistress to 'ay her hand on the un usual protuberance, wh en , to an d behold, cook had traeformed the rusty hoop into crinoline !

THE SONG OF THE PRESS. (From the Coloniit, American paper.) With temples weary and worn, With a throbbing and aching head, An editor said, at his nightly toil, And this is what he said : Write, write, write, My work ne'er seems to grow less, And a most unthankful office it is, Preparing for the Peess. Write, write, write, When the lamp is burning bright ; Write. write, write, Till the stars have vanished quite. 'Twere better to be a slave, And perform any menial work, Than worry myself to an early grave, For a merciless "Public Turk." Write, write, write, Till the body is wan and thin ; Write, write, write, Till I'm nought but bone and skin. Leaders, Revisions, Reports, Reports, Revisions, and L2aders ; Till the brain grows sick, and quite out of sorts— I envy the dullest of reader Oh, subscribers and readers, reflect, When denouncing the scarceness of news, How hard the task is, all leaders to please, And comply with their manifold views j Write, write, write, Amid moral and political dirt, Scourging and warning with doulk, pen, That dupes may be on the alert, Write, write, write, Line still fol:owing line; Write, write, write, While the brain for rest must pino. Condense, Review, Arrange, Arrange, Condense, and Refow, Till the eyes are dim, and the fingers aeho, Yet the work must go on anew, Write, write, write, In the dreary winter's night ; Write, write, write, In the summer's radiant light ; The same insipid routine Te me e'er seems to cling ; Whether cool autumn would tempt me forth, Or the freshness of the spring. Oh ! to enjoy the scenes, Of which the tourist's letters treat, With th 6 glorious sky above my head, And the waves beneath my feet ; Ah ! for a short respite, A lull:to this throb of the brain, That nature might heal my failing strength, And I feel myself again. Oh ! for that blessed hour When these mental toils shall cease ; When I can view life's turmoil and ,trife, Unassailed; in my bower of peace. But why should I cherish the thought ? 'Tis for gold relaxation is spread ; Where intellect only is given. That intellect works till it's dead. With temples weary and worn, With a throbbini: and achin4 head, An editor sat, at his mianight toil, And this is what he said : Write, write, write, My work ne'er seems o grow less, And a most unthankful task it is, To write copy for the press. «J. D." THE PENINSULAR MAlL.—Southampton, Oct. 3. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's steam-ship Tagus, Cept. E. Christian, with the usual Peninsular mail, in charge of Lieut. Gardiner, Admiralty agent, arrived this day, having experienced fine weather daring the voyage. Her freight cowls"; of 6 packages of specie, value 1,943 ; 1 packsge gold, 50 doublooons ; 239 boxes grapes, 100 barrels figs ' • 410 boxes, 204 half do., and 132 quarter do. raisins ; 163 k chests lemon., and 59 packages of sundries. THE AMERICAN FRIGATE PLYMOUTH. —On Saturday afternoon Captain Dahlgren and the officers of this frigate, which has been lying in the Southampton Water for the last two or three weeks, were entertained at a sumptuous banquet, given by them by Mr. Alderman AndreNs at his Winchester residence. Mr. Wil iam Thompson (the United States' Consul), the Mayor of Southampton (tlr. J. White), and other friends from that town were also among the company, The usual hiel toasts, together with those of an international character appropriate to the occasion, were drunk, and the American officets seemed much pleased with the friendly treatment they had experienced. The friga'e has since a dad on her return to Washington. CHRISTY'S hieteernEne.--This most eccentric and en. tertaining company of mock Ethiopians, after perform ing with success at the St, James's and Surrey Toeatres, have located themselves at the Polygraphic Hall of Mr. Woodin, in Kiug William-street, Strand. They rattle away in their several scenes with a rapidity and ansteii .ation of interest quite surprising. They have their cha rooter entertainment, in which a musical deecriptiou of a fashionable eleigh ride sands prominently forward; a musical and terpsichorean m e l a nge ; a burlesque Italian opera ; and a succession of character bit-, forming what they call " Plantation Life in the Sunny Seuth:" Half, at least, of the entertainment .:insists of delinea tions of negro life in charaneristio dress, so that there is nothing of the monotony which has marked previous nigger performance., where geintlemen.in black sit in a row, and utter their lugubrious witticisms like.so many lively mutes. We will not at . e opt to pick out any particular individu a l i n th e company f or special praise. All work together in a capital spirit, and each,lo 1119 turn, gets his award of approbation for some side splitting sally of eccentricity. VALUE OP LAND AT ALDERSR3T.—The Government bought the la•.d at Aldershot for, on the average, 171. an acre. Instead of erecting the present barracks in the centre of the 8,000 or 9,000 acres bought, the engineer pitched upon a spot on the extreme edge of the Govern ment land, and beyond which, of course, the military authorities have no control of any kind. The result is that a swarm of public-houses and beer-shop, is hemming in the new buildings, while others are being built, and will of course soon be accompanied by houses of a still worse description. Of course the land in the rear of the barracks has risen in value more than fifty-fold since the buildings were commenced, and it is said that Govern ment surveyors who came into the market the other day to purchase two acres on which to erect an hospital, had to pay upwards of 2,0001. for what, 18 months ago, they would have obtained for 341. ; or have had for nothing, if the site had been chosen in the centre of their own land l —The Builder. Sin COLIN CAMPBELL—Reports are prevalent that serious misunderstandings have arisen at Calcutta be tween the Governor-General and the Commanders=" Chief. No "serious misunderstandings" exist. Sir Colin Campbell has very properly resented an imprudeet and uncalled-for attempt to limit his authority ov er the army. The country may rest assured that Sir Colin Campbell is not the man either to exceed his powers or to permit them to be encroached upon. At the saute time it is not to be concealed that the presenc e in the Council at Ca,!cntta of these petty jealousies and imPee tinent assumptions upon the part of men, not only ut terly ignorant of war, but who have proved themselves so incapable in a crisis demanding that decision 'f cha racter for which Sir Colin Campbell is pre-emineut, is d ee ply to bo deplored. It may paraly se the most vigorous measures of the General-in-Chief, and Po hamper the operations of the campeign as to expose him to de feat and disaster, instead of the victory and eacessa he has a right to expect. With respect to the command of the cavalry in India, it is believed that Lord Geo. Paget, in preference to General Scarlett, or to General Jackson at the Cape, will be selected.—Vie Press. MAJOR GEORGE POWELL THOMAS.--We regret to have to record the death of Major George Powell Thomas, of the 34 European Regiment. Tne deceased wa g seriously indisposed the day before the battle of Agra on the sth of July, when ho so Tallantiy com manded and led on five companies of his regiment. i n ibis action he was severely wounded in the foot, and his horse also receiving three bullets fell over and upon him, thereby injuring his head, from the effects of which he never rallied, but lingered on amid severe suffering until the 4th of August, when he expired in the fort of Agra. Major George Powell Thomas served with great distine tien in Affghaoistan under General Sir George Pollock, K.C.8., - a.leernhe "-commanded a corps, of Jez4ilcheee, and, being at home on sick leave on the breaking out of the war with Russia, he applied for and obtained the command of a regiment in the Turkish Contingent under General Vivian, on which occasion the Queen conferre upon him the 10 - c , il rank of Lieutenant•Colone' in 'fur. key ; bat, being desirous of more active employment, he volunteered to proceed to the Crimea, and was present at the fall of SehaFtopol, for which he received the Crimean medal, to aed to the other dacorations he had already won in tho service of his country. He tirtu known as an author and artist of considerable merit having published a voluneCl - po;ms which were very favourably noticed both here and in I n dia. He was also a first rate linguist, while his sketches of the Himalayas are perhaps the most magnificent p r oductions of the kind that have been published. Maj,r.George Powel Thomas was a son of the late Major-General Lewis Thomas, C. 8., whose services in India are tco wtll known to require comment. SHOOTING AT A CLERGYMAN IN TH PULPlT.—Con siderable excitement prevailed at the magistrates' meet ing at Frome, in consequence of a man, named Joseph Ashman, being charged with having discharged a gu❑ at the Rev. G. A. Mahon, while he was engaged in the performance of Divine service in the pariah church of Leigh, on Sunday. The sitting magistrates war,. W. F. Knatchbull, M P., Dr. Harrison, and N. Barton, Esq., and the court was much croi,vdef. It appeared frotYthe evidence of the Rev. G. A. Mahon arid other Witnesses, that at about 7 in the evening of Sunday he was in the pulpit engaged in preaching a sermon, when the sudden report of a gun was heard on the north Bide of the otiurch, )wed instantaneously by the crashing of gltss in the north window. The minister was observed to fall back against the c,dumn of the palpit. in a state of unconsciousness, and his face and surplice wr„re in• btantly covered with blood. As may be supposed, the utmost consternation and alarm was produced —women screamed and fainted, many rushed from the church, iota& others hastened to the help of the clergy man, whom everybody thought had been min. dered. Mr. Mahon bad been struck by the charge. and partially stunned, but it was soon ascertain e d that the greater part of the blood must have been discharged from the gun, and that the oily wound Fe bad received was from a fragment of the glass which wai still stickirg into the a ruor of hie eye, acd was removed by one of the congregation. The inquiries in stituted by the police caused very strong susp'elon to fah on the prisoner, who was arrested. Evidence to fix that suvicion upon him Laving been adduced, the ma gistrates remanded the prisoner to Shepton Mallet gaol, I ruiE Fi I V fl J.. ' 4 4 7 . P., • LOSS OF A RUSSIAN LINE OF-BATTLE SHIP.-1,000 LIVES LOST. HAMBURG, OCT. 3. We learn from St. Petersburg, via Lubeck, on the Ist inst., that a very awful catastrophe hap pened to a Russian line-of-battle ship between the 21st and 23d tilt., in the Gulf of Finland, during a violent storm, in which she foundered, with a crew of upwards of 1,000 souls on board, all of whom perished. About 150 were family men, which renders the misfortune still more calamit our. The vessel had arzived near the Island of Hogland, from Revel, and her dangerous situa tion was apparent to the crews of several large vessels of war in its vicinity, but, unfortunately, they were not able to render assistance. JASSY, OCT. 3. The elections in Wallachia have terminated, and are in favour of the Union. The Moldavian divan will assemble on the 4th of October, and that of Wallachia on the Bth of the same month. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post (Second Edition) says : "It has been stated by some Austrian journals that the Emperor Napoleon suggested the meeting of the Czar and the Emperor of Austria. lam able to assure you there is no foundation what ever in these assertions. Immediately the Aus trian Cabinet learnt that the Emperor of the French would meet the Emperor Alexander, the advisers of Francis Joseph took *means to solicit the interview at Weimar. The approach was entirely on the part of Austria, and the Emperor of Russia consented more from courtesy than from political motives to meet his Imperial brother Monarch." FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past two, the Em peror, who was accompaned by the Empress, again set out on his return to Chalons. On reaching the Strasburg railway station, their Majesties were re ceived by M. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, B iron d'ilervey, and others of the directors of the com pany. The Empress appeared much struck by the new imperial train, the magnificence of which has been much spoken of. If the weather continues fine her Majt sty has made up her mind to lodge with the Emperor under his tent in the camp, and not to occupy the appartwents prepared for her at tire prefecture at Chalons. The imperial train was ex pected to arrive at Chalons at half-past five this evening. The Imperial Prince is not of the party, and consequently the report that the Empress in tended to take this opportunity to present him to his regiment of grenadiers is probably incorrect. They say the baby's name is regularly called at muster roll, and that a corporal answers for him •‘ Absent on leave with his family." The Court of Cessation has rejected the appeal of Captain Doineau and Ben kladji, condemned, the first to death, the second to hard labour for life, by the Court of, Assizes at Oran.

The Emperor and Empress of Russia, Prince Alexander of Hesse, and Prince Gortchakoff ar rived here yesterday evening at 9 o'clock from Darmstadt, accompanied by the Grand Duko Duchess of Weimar, who had gone out to meet them, as far.as the Warburg, where they had all dined together. From hence the entire party drove to Belvedere, the' country seat of the Dowager Grand Duchess of Weimar, an aunt of the Em peror of Russia, where they were received by h ;r, ihe Dowager Queen of the N e th er l an d s, ano 'h -r auntthe Emperor's, and Duke Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, the uncle of the present Grand Duke. This morning, at 9 o'clock the Em pet or of Austria arrived here from Dresden, accompanied by the Grand- Duke of Weimar, who bac.; gone to mee him at the frontier station, and attended by Lieut. Field -Marshal Count von Gruirne, the Austrian Minister at Dresden, and two Adju• anti , . He was received at the railway station by Duke Bernhard of Saxe Weimar, Prince Alexander of Heise, General Count Clam, the Governor-General of Bohemia, and a numerous staff of Austrian and Weimar officers. The guard of honour presented, and the band played the - Austrian national hymn ; and, after but few prelimi naries, the Emperor drove off to the town, ac companied by the Grand Duke, and followed by Count Gruune with, Duke Bernhard. Almost im mediately after, having been introduced to the Grand Duchess, and baying bad the various officers of the household presented to him, the Emperor drove off in the same carriage that had brought him from the railway, an open baronet' with six cream-coloured horses, to piy- his visit to the Dowager Grand Duchess and her guests the Em peror and Empress of Russia. The Emperor Francis Joseph hid for the occasion assumed the uniform of his Russian regiment, and the blu band of the Andrew's Order. On the arrival of the Emperor Francis Joseph at Belvedere the Dowager Grand Duchess came to meet him on the steps leading up to the house, 1;( by the Emperor Russia;of on which the two E n perors embraced and kissed each other.' After they had each of them presented their retinue to th e other, tie two Emperors retired into a room apart, and conversed for some time alone; they thou drove back into the town, still alone, and without a single attendant, the Emperor of Russia sect-;d on the right, which is by no means his custo mary seat when he is free to choo e. To judge by the expression of the countenances of the two young Emperors, who by the bye were both looking' iu very goodhealth and spirits, natters must begoi smoother and more rapidly heie than th ey did lin Scuttgu dt. Shortly aft:.lrward;the Emperor of Rus sia returned to Belvedere, and then went out shoot ing. The Emperor of Austria, on the other hard, a eat on foot t o pay a visit to Duke Bernhard at the Fut stenhau9, and then took a drive with the Grand Duke, who himself drove. This meeting of the two Emperors of Russia and of ftie Austriai in this to wn h as a prece d en t i n the meeting Emperor Alexander 1. with the Emperor Francis 11. after the batile of Leipsic in 1813, then they met in the head-quarters of the allied army under Prim) Schwartzenberg. WEIMAR, Om. 2. On leaving the theatre last night, the great folks proceeded t.) Belvedere to supper, and enjoyed on the way thither the spectacle of the rather pi etiy scenery they passed through, lit up by the fitful light of numerous torches burning with a red flan - le (rather a favourite accessory in Wagner's Tamt hauser by-the bye), carried by the outriders and mounted attendants. The two Emperors have left this milling by se parate trains—the Emperor FrancisJosephfor Isehl by way of Dresden, and the Emperor of Russia P. lso for Dresden, to pay his promised visit to the King of Saxony. It turns out now that there never was :any ground for expecting the King of Saxony here, who has plenty to do at home just now with his manoeuvres, has nothing to do here, had just had the visit of Francis Joseph, and was about to have ihat of Alexander. The Empress was to have fol 'o wed at a later hour, and joined the Emperor at • ome railway station between Dreden and Berlin, where they are due to-morrow. Their little daughter Olga ha., however, fallen ill, though not seriously, - I I believe,- and the Empress remains here for the present, and the Emperor will return hither in the. evening. Their further movements will depend on the health of their child. As regards the results of this meeting of the two Emperors, of Russia and Austria, I am led to con clude that if the object of the meeting was simply to remove the acerbities left by the late war by means of personal intercourse, that object has been attained, and a very amicable personal feeling esta blished ; on the other hand, I hear nothing which su'gests the idea that any diplomatic business at all was transacted. How it has fared with the fate of Count Buol I am not in a position to report —my ow n i mpress i on i s t h a t F ranc i s J oseph is not likely to g i ve up his Minister for any but a very weighty reason, and that Alexander is not, as yet, so far master of the situation as to be able to de mand it, nor Austria so far isolated as to make it mperative for her to pay that price forre-admission to amity with Russia.

AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The British and North American Royal Mai steamship Europa, Leitch commander, bas arrived with advices from Boston to the 23€1. ult., and New York by telegraph via Halifax to the 24th ult. p.m. She brought 55 passengers, but no specie. On the 24th ult. the Europa passed the Royal Mail steamer Canada, hence, for Halifax and Boston ; on the 26th, in lat. 46 N., long. 55.31 W., passed the brig Camerton, steering west ; and on the 2d inst., in lat 51.12 N., long. 12 W., signalised the Judith, of Stonehaven, standing south. The screw steamship Glasgow, from. Glasgow, arrived at Now York op the 21st ult.

The erection of the sternpost of the Russian fri gate Giineral-Admiral, buildin g a t N ew Y or k , was inaugurated by a dinner given at the hotel of the Russian Minister. Thirty-seven persons had been poisoned in Ala bama with arsenic mixed in their fool by a negro cook, at the instigation, it is alleged, of a Hunga rian. Six of the number bad already died. The cook was burnt, and his accompli&e was to share the same fate. A despatch from Washington to a Boston paper states : " Senator Slidell has received a letter from Senator Benjamin, dated City of Mexico, 4th i ns t., announc i n g tut he and his colleague had .succeeded in making satis factory arrangements with the Mexican Government relative to the Tehuantepec trensit route, and that Pre sident Comonfoit acted M this matter against the earnest protest of our Minister, Mr. Forsyth." From Havannah we learn that business was dull. The stock of sugar was about 200,000 boxes; holders refused to cell at the reduced prices. There was little doing in exchange. On London, 10i to 11. Freight dull. The slave trade was reported to be very active. The yellow fever was still prevalent. Advices from Washington report that official in structions had been issued from the State Depart ment to arrest all hostile expeditions leaving the United States for any other country. Iu the New York market on the- 21st there was a further decline in sto:;ks, and the la.eA quotations were as follow :—Virginia Sixes, 862 ; Missouri Sixes, 694 ; New Yo r k Central Shares, 662 ; New York and Erie Shares, 164 ; Reading R.

Respecting failuies the New York Courier , and Enquirer says : "The only suspension announced here to-day was that of Messrs. C. W. Field and Co., a firm of well-known wealth, whose suspension will probably be only tempo rary. The notes of the Yates Ceunty Bank of Penn Yan were to-day rejected by the Albany Agency, but aid probably be reinstated in a few dap.' There was some excitement caused by reports of further-financial difficulties at Boston and Philadel phia, but there was less trouble among the, mer chants. Capital continued in active demand, how ever, at very full rates of interest, and the 21st was one of the most stringent days experienced since the commencement of the pressure. To' the list of the failures given above the .New York Journal of Commerce adds : ' " Messrs. Cyrus W. Feld and Co., of this city, paper dealers, have suspended until the return of the head of the house, who is now on his way home from England, 'and is expected to arrive (at the latest) in the Arabia next week. The other failures of the day here are not of sufficient public interest to be noticed. The failures reported from Philadelphia by telegraph are Messrs.

The extensive machine shop and locomotive works of Wil liam Mason and Co., at•Taunton, Massachusetts, have stopped, and all the hands employed, about 550 in number, have been discharged, ou account of the pecu niary embarrassment connected with the failure of Jas.

The accounts of the growing crop have been less favourable during the past week from the Atlantic States, complaints reaching us of shedding of fruit, rust, &c., and.in some localities in Alabama the boll worm is said to have done injury. The great complaint, however, is the lateness of the crop, and its consequent tx?oloure to injury from storm or early fr st." Breadstuffs had taken a turn in favour of the seller, owing to the foreign advices. Wheat was excited and irregular. Pork, beef, and bacon had declined in prices. Lard ruore.film. Butter higher.
