One of the mos: interesting and important letters which we have seen on the state of India, and the duties of Englishmen in reference thereto, has been addrcsied by the Eirl of ELLENBOROUGH to tho members of the Winch combe Agricultural Association. It goes exactly to the point, shows what should be done in India and in England. It is now useless, aye, worse than useless, to depreciate the magnitude of the crisis, or to supp )se that we can wash out the stains of blood, with rose water. It is not by sickly sentimentalism that we can get rid of the blot on the national escutcheon. We bare had " a great war forced upon us, by rebels who would deprive all our countrymen of their lives, and England of an empire —where we placed our confidence we have been met with treachery— where we acted with kindness we have encountered murder—murder, not directed only against men by whom resistance might be made, and from whom wrongs might have been feared, but ex tending equally to unoffending, helpless women, to the children at their knees, and to the infants at their breasts—sparing none, and often inflict ing death upon the body with torture, where it had already more cruelly tortured mind." Lord ELLENBOROUGH has already been victi mised by the East India Company. He alone, in the present age, had zeal and energy sufficient to repudiate red-tapeism, and to act for the bene fit of India and of Great Britain without refer ence to the prejudices of antiquated civilians. We need not say that the Company exercised a power which should never have been conceded them, to enforce his recal, and that consequently the country lost the service of the most able and energetic Governor-General, since the days of CLIME and HASTINGS. Sir CHARLES NAPIER was also treated in a similar manner. In his case, the directors were subsequently compelled " to eat humble pie," an d it is by no means impossible that a like retributive iodize may place Lord ELLENBOROTICIII at the licad of the Anglo-Indian Government. Lord CANNING is manifestly incompetent. He is, we believe, an amiable nobleman, who might do very wen, in ordinary times, to take part in a pageant, or do the honours at a ball in Government House. But he has not the energy or ability to break through the trammels by which he is en compassed. He is the servant, not the master of the Council, and so long as he remains in Cal. cuttl, we cannct hope for the restoration of peace I and tranquillity, and the complete suppression of of the insurrection. Lard ELLENBOROUGH as Governor-General would be " the right man in the right place." He would not interfere injte yloitsly w ith Sir CoLIN CA-11PBELL, and a Governor- General and a Commander-in -Chief cordially co operating, would bring the rebellion to a speedy and satisfactory termination. If the - United Kingdom were canvassed at moment we believe that nine men out of te n would give their votes for Lord ELLENEOROTIGII as Governor-General. Surely undt.r existing circumstances the national will 'should be re spected. We do not desire that Lord PALMERSTON should be ejected from office. He is in his right position. But he ought to break through the trammels of routine, and to avail himself of the services of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, in the existing crisis. It is true that the Noble Earl is a poli tical opponent. But such considerations should be disregarded under the peculiar circumstances of the case. It is not as a reward for a political supporter that the high position should be bestowed. The best man is required, and the voice of public opinion almost unanimously de clares in favour of Lard ELLENBOROUGH. The existing difficulty is great, far greater in deed than has been imagined. We look too com placently on such matters ; are accustomed to re gard the most brilliant victories, even against odds of ten to one, as too much a matter of course, and to think that we have only to sit down con tentedly at home, paying our taxes, passing reso lutions sympathising with the sufferers, and ex pecting to have the work done for us without further trouble or inconvenience. We must put our shoulders to the wheel, and every man must consider how far he can help forward the State machine by his individual exertions. Lord ELLENBOROUGH offered a sound practical suggestion. He has pointed out the manner in which the young blood of England may be stimu• lated. Let the militia be called out to a man, and by that means, and that alone, we shall obtain the best class of recruits. They may cost a little more, but this is not the time to look to matters of £ s. d. We may be penny wise and pound foolish, and have to pay far more, for any undue parsimony. Lord ELLRNBORODOR has clearly pointed out how every man may help the movement by obtaining re cruits for the regular army or for the militia. A distinguished Scotch clergyman—the Rev. Mr. WM. ROBERTSON, of New Greyfriars, Edinburgh— turned the the Fast-day to good account in a simi lar manner. He explained that "on our army, humanly speaking, depended the future of India," and "that every brave man who joins that army is a benefactor, not only to Britain, but to India too." His admirable address proved that the Christian mother might safely send out her child on such a mission—that ho would himself wil lingly do so ; concluding his spirited and exciting appeal with these words : " I speak not to others of a duty with which I would not myself cheerfully comply. Had las many sons as PRIAM, I should not shrink from seeing them all in arms for a cause which, from my heart, I believe to be the cause not of Britain and India alone, but of the world, of civilisation, of religion, and of GOD." It was amusing enough to observe the course pursued the other day at Stuttgard by Queen AMELIA of Greece. It was so perfectly character istic ! It evidenced such a watchful " eye to the main chance" on the part of that intriguing princess. It was altogether so cunningly and mys teriously transparent. We cannot for an inAant believe that the real meaning of her Athenian Majesty's presence so very opportunely, a few weeks back, i❑ the capital of Wurtemburg, can be misapprehended for one moment by the least sa gacious observer, whether his "point of view" be taken from L'mdon, or from Paris, or from Vienna, or even from St. Petersburg. Has anybody forgotten the sinister indications of the secret policy of OTHO'S Government during the late bloody contest in the Crimea Y Indica tions so unmistakeably inimical to the interests of Vat, Western Powers, and so manifestly favourable to the cause of the Russian AT:TTOCRA.T that—even during the crisis of the struggle before Sebastopol —a certain small proportion of the soldiers of France and England had to be diverted from their direct advance towards the seat of war, and to be disembarked at the Piraans for the purpose of watching grimly, sword in hand, over the good conduct of the Greek Government. The notorious reason for all this being, of course, the peculiar crotchet warping the ambition of OTHo's Queen, in the 'natter of that problema tical question—the succession to the Throne erected nearly a quarter of a century ago by a whim of diplomacy among the classic ruins of the violet-crowned Acropolis. Childless herself, Queen &MELIA ha.s a very natural desire that such an exceedingly good thing as a sceptre should not bo lost altogether to her funny, because of that ono very tantalising circumstance. And as it so happens that her connexions are for the most part Muscovite, her sympathies, of course, tend for the most part towards an intimate asso ciation of her own interests with those of the House of ROMANOFP. The "slope" of her ambi tion is decidedly towards St. Petersburg—just as the "slope" of Russia, according to the happy phrase of M. DE LAMA RTINE, is MI question_ ably towards the East. Whereupon t carry out her o wn particular object, the QUEEN of Greece has striven pertinaciously in one direction for a considerable time past-3n deavouring to accomplish her dasign uow by fair mean, now by foul, precisely as events might seem to afford her the opportunity. The "foul means" we had an agreeable specimen of, two or three years ago, when the Crimean war was com plicated for the Western Powers by that vexatious little episode of the Grecian embarrassment— namely, when the Angle-French troops had to be landed at the Piraeus, instead of at Kamiesh and Balaklava, under the irritating circumstances al readypartic alarised. The " fair means" some of the European Sovereign's had a pleasant taste of, the other day, in the midst of 013 Royal festivities at Stuttgardt. Such is Queen AMELIA'S in domitable perseverance ! Altogether presenting (to us constitutional spectators in England) a spectacle that would be very laughable were it not also at the same time vary afflicting. For, after all, this particularly selfish and insatiable ambition of the Greek Qtrzeres, signifies nothing more in itself than the old Feudal Creed not yet wholly dead and buried--. 1 belief still cherished here and there all over the amtinent—to the effect simply (to be plain) that the Peoples are made for the Princes. Instead of exactly the reverse t It is a very old story indeed— an exceedingly venerable, not to say absolutely decropid infatuation. her Athenian Majesty, in truth, thinks for 'that matter, merely as her Order thinks. She has long since apparently altogether forgotten the constitutional origin of the Greek Sovereignty. She locks manifestly upon OTHO'S Crown as a very fine family jewel that ought to be scrupulously kept i:s the family and so her energies are altogether directed to words its retention—and so to the attainment of that sole end her sinister intrigues are multiplied and expanded. All this is clearly imagined upon the same principle upon which each of the not easily numer abla German princelings imagines certain portions of the human race to have been exclusively created for the delight of his own peculiar privilege Sovereignty. It is unraistAlcably thus, let us say, by way of example, that the High and Mighty HENRY THE TWENTIETH (vide the Almanach, (1,; Gotha .f) presides in his stupendous capital of Greiz, over the destinies of Reuss of the Elder Branch, with a territory extending over the gigantic area of 144 square miles, and having a population of actually no leas than 35,159 (according to the last census) in the ag gregate !! ! It is no less unmistake ably thus, that his relative the equally High and Mighty HENRY THE SIXTY SEVENTH (vide ditto, ditto) presides, in his gigan tic metropolis of Schleiz, over the fortunes of Reuss of the Younger Branch, with even yet larger territories and a yet vaster population 1! ! So—the redoubtable Prince, GUNTHER FREDERIC, rules the ducal domain of Schwartzburg Sonder hausen 1 While the no less redoubtable Prince, FREDERIC G UNTHER (literally this upon the in fal lible authority of the same Almanach de Gotha), sways the rod of empire over the other ducal domain of Schwartzburg Rudolstadt ! So— to sum up a series of ridiculous illustrations (otherwise threatening to run off our hands in terminably as we write) by one supremely absurd instance—the puissant Awls JOSEPH directs the destinies of a sovereignty extending over just fifty three square miles, with a population numbering (again, observe, according to the last census) ex actly 6,351 individuals ! ! ! Remembering all which nonsensical arrange ments, we really cannot wonder very much, on serious reflection, that a Queen Consort, nurtured in the midst of such old-world folly, should have come at last to look upon a crown and sceptre, pretty much as any fine lady may look upon the glittering bauble ornaments in her jewel-case— things to be taken a wonderful deal of care of, and to be worn becomingly. What we do wonder at is How long all these same obsolete notions will yet be tolerated among a multitude of thinking men, supposed to be in some sort, enlightened I As it is—the whole crumbling mass of rubbish, rotten to the very core, is only held together for a while by the glamour of that huge political In cubus (and Humbug) called Germanism. Russia is clearly bent upon availing herself o r the present very tempting opportunity. That opportunity is to every evil-disposed Muscovite( no less manifestly than it has been before now, to certain wrong-headed demagogues on the other side of St. George's Channel—England's em barrassment ! Scarcely have we found it incum bent upon us t) declare war against the Chinese, than the entire Bengal Army (to the number of very nearly 100,000 fighting men) revolts, and our whole Indian Empire appears for the moment to be jeopardised. It becomes necessary, under these unexpected circumstances, to concentrate as rapidly as possible the bulk of our military forces in Hindostan for the reeonquest of the ravaged districts and the punishment of the mutineers. The settlement of the Chinese difficulty has to be postponed for a while—namely, until such time as the more urgent and more serious difficulty in Ben gal and the Western Provinces shall have been de finitively arranged. Admiral SEYMOUR has to await yet for some time in the Canton Waters for the long and eagerly looked for reinforcements. Go vernor YEE has an unlocked for time of truce, during which he can vapour to his heart's con tent, as becomes a Celestial Viceroy of the Emperor of the Red Uumbrella 1 Ambassador BOWRING has to tarry in his turn, as patiently as he may, in his little stronghold at Hongkong. Even Lord ELGIN, sent out in hot haste (to settle recent differences, if possible, without having re course to cold steel and gunpowder) in his capa city as Minister Plenipotentiary, finds the time hang so heavily on his hands at the very period when a crisis is raging at Calcutta, that he ventures upon a little private episodical expedition to that capital of our Asiatic possessions, just to see how Lord CANNING is getting on, and to discover if he can be of any use to Governor-General, to Supreme Council, or to Commander-in-Chief. An apparently bewildering embarrassment like this to England could not possibly appear to Russia otherwise than a most tempting and alluring opportunity. Wherefore, we don't wonder in th 3 least t find the Northern Bee—[drat unmistakeable Bee i❑ the Bonnet of Absolutism !]—beginning to cal culate frankly upon the probable advantages likely (according to its perverse view of things) to result from all this to the Cabinet of St. Petersburg. Consequently —remembering what Russia notoriously is and has been for the last century, any one may recognise at a glance what is really meant by the specious arguments recently put forth by the Northern Bee in reference to the position of Eng land between the Indian and the Chinese difficul ties—arguments wound up in the manner follow- mg :- " In the interest of all Europe, for the vindica tion of the superiority of our civilization as com pared with the Chinese, it is indispensably necessary to make good this failure of the English to the best of our power, and by energetic measures convinca the Chine , ie, once for all, of the superiority of El rope over their country. To this end the opening of direct negotiations with the Pekin Government, as well as of a course of action to be observed to wards it without the iiiterme liation of the provin cial governor, is urgently necessary." A magnanimous declaration like this (may we not venture to add ?) coming to us as it does firs`, from the Northern Bee is just all Hum ! Imagine for an instant how very beneficial to England would be the tendency of the " direct negotiations" of Russia with the Pekin Government:! Cmceive for an instant the salu tary aid to be derived by us from so exceedingly opp )rtune and desirable an intervention ! Re flecting upon all which, we can only ejaculate-- "Save us from our Friends !" Yet the neces sity of doing something a little more directly to the purpose than utter mere ejaculations that might be readily taken for granted, is sufficiently apparent, we take it, when, in addition to this sinister " hum" of the Bee, comes to us the know ledge of the much more sinister fact announced almost simultaneously in the Nord—that Admi ral PIITIATIN has received instructions to repair to Shanghai with the Amoor Fleet ; the said Admiral having, at an earlier period, been in trusted with an extraordinary mission to Pekin, contrary to the wishes of tho Chinese Gov.cm ment. Aware of these very suspicious Sayings and Doings in the North, it bohoves us, in the midst of all our Eastern anxieties, to keep an ever watchful eye fixed unwinkiugly upon the Rus3iau Government. The Princes of Siam, on a mission to this Court, are ex)ected to arrive in England next week. The state apartments at Ciaridge's Hotel are prepared for their reception. Tne Duchess Dowager of Beaufort and the Ladies Somerset are expected in town 'n afe days, fro►n visit ing the Earl and C .uuteBs of Wilton, at Heaton Hall, near Manchester. The Duchess of Wellington has left Apsley House to join the duke, who has gone to Manchester for a few days. The Earl of RA:len left town a few days since, to visit his estates in Ireland. His lordship will raturn to Lon don in about 10 days. TIIE SUN, LONDON, S A TURDAY ETENING, OCITOBER 17, 1857 LATET NEWS. SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. A letter received in Paris from.

It is reported in Paris, but needs confirmation, that, in consequence of a recent convention, the Russian naval force in the Chinese waters, which has been lately increased, will, in future, combine its operations with thosa of the English and French squadrons. Letters from the frontiers of Asia announce that General Jacob, who commands the English troops which wet° charged with watching Herat, had evacuated Affghanistan, and had arrived at Moultan, in the Punjab, on tho 17th August. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The following observations in the Constieutionnel interpret the se n ti ments w i t h w hi c h th e government and people of E n gland regard the possession of India. Our contemporary has perhaps exagge rated the influence exercised by the fraction of the Paris press hostile to England on public opinion in Great Britain, and it would be wrong to infer that the alliance has suffered in the least from the igno rant ravings of those journals : "Every day passed without some success on the part of the insurgents is of inestimable value to England, and it is very natural that the last 'mail from India, preciscly because the news has been comparatively insignificant, has caused some degree of satisfaction. Every one, however, is prepared for the worst, and courage increases with the danger. The French journals which speculate on the loss of India for Great Britain are certainly at liberty to enlarge on that hypothesis, which, however, ha s no good foundation. But one thing alone can result from such a line of conduct : that is, the revelation of a bad feeling, which is at least impolitic and unworthy of us, for what in fact is hostility vented in words ? The well informed journals in England ) as in France, are few in num ber ; the cheap papers badly edited are innumer able. The inopportune attacks directed against our neighbours on the subject of events in India by two or three journals in Paris have been taken for the ex pression of the sentiments of the great majority of the French press, by there badly informed Esigli-h journals, cise a co ns id era bl e i n fl uence on the masses. The few which are by far the most numerous, and which east . - French journals to which we allude have therefore given a wrong opinion as to the feelings of our country ; they have lessened very gratuitously, and without any kind of compensation, the sympathies which we possess in England. Perhaps,' after all, they had no othe r object and no other hopes. But it they have really pictured to themselves that England was about to be definitively driven out of India, it was iniplesible not to feel astonishment at such a great mistake. All the present garri.on of India, all the functionaries, the rocidents, all the army of reinforcement, might bo mas sacred and annihilated, but Great Britain would not for that abandon India. Even a European war would not make her renounce it, and in 20 years, as at the present mo:nent, she would be rea 'y to sacrifice ships, treasures, and soldiers to re-establish her sovereignty there. One of the qualities of that race, which has many others to ceippensate for its pride and its egotism, is the inflexills firmness which it shows in the pursuit of its enterprises. that the revolt of the sopoys w ill however, be ee put s t u d r o e dvv, down therefore,;ifnot in six months, in one, in two, or every reason to Rill be prompt." i t i w e v e e n t t y b a y t ea c r l s e . v eTtheerrye The follow;n were the last Cash. fr.

The critical itate of the Austrian money-market, and the urgent necessity for immediate measures for its relief, will probably induce the Emperor to return from Iscbl to Vienna sooner than was ori ginally proposed.

The Frankfort Journal, in spite of repeated co I tradietions, maintains that a protest has been ad dressed to the Porte on the subject of the late elec tions in the Principalities by the ambassadors of England and AuAria. It says : " Tke document in question is composed of two parts. The one, which is official, demands in a diplomatic form the annulment of the elections ; the other, which is non. official, points out the reasons which should induce the Ottoman Government to adopt that measure. In this latter part the engagement at Osborne is brought for. ward as a principal argument. M. Thouvenel on being informed - of the existence of this note was very desirous of knowing its contents. He appliei both verbally and in writing to the Ottoman Minister of Foreign Affairs, but Aali Puha declared that he was not authorised to make the n•ite known." Our Frankfort contemporary adds to the above " It appears, however, that this document is not in tended to i mpst l e the march of affairs in the Danubian provinces, but that M. de Prokesch and Lord St , atfurd do Redefine merely wished to declare that they also had the right of protest, because the same faults which the a osno r t ep representati ves of the four other powers f oun d : n the an us d t the Austria, the step nulled electi ons also characterise t h e new ones. The inft rmatio n w hi ch we have receive d f rom our correspon dnendt British de t a t l e l s o e:tal l i s v t el o s are d u e 1 b ut tftiiafit e t j they have taken." The latest accounts receivei. from Persia an nounce that the Shah, who is at Niaveran, has the intention of visiting the province of Khorassan as roan as the cold weather shall have sot in. Th's visit is probably connected with the projected forti fications on tilt frontiers of that province, which have for aim to prevent the renewal of incursioi:s like that w hi c h provoked the last siege of lierat. Persia is t ranquil, and the general health of th e population excellent. Not a single case of cholera occurred during the summer in Teheran—a circum stance worthy of attention from its excessive rarity.

AUSTRALIA. ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CHARTER. LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY. The screw steam-ship Royal Charter, Captain Taylor, is off the port, with advices from Melbourne 23 days later than previously to hand. She will likely arrive early to-morrow morning. She has 118 passengers, and specie of the value of 360,0001. She landed her mails at Queenstown. We have received by the Omar Paoli.% Sydney papers to the 25th of July, being six days later than those brought by the last overland mail. There was no prospect whatever of a mail leaving there in August. The Australian Joint Stock Bank had declared a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum, and increased their reserve fund to 16,000/. The Australian Steam Navigation Company had proposed to reduce their capital by writing off 51. per share. Exchange on London had fallen to 2 per cent. in consequence of the Australian sovereigns having been declared a legal tender throughout all the Australian colonies. The government had decided to purchase all their supplies in England, and had appointed Messrs. Lloyd, Beilby and Co., of No. 2, Royal Exchange buildings, their agents for that purpose. The Alfred had arrived from Liverpool, with im migrants. CASUALTIES IN INDIA. The information respecting the officers of the Queen's service who have fallen in India since the outbreak of the insurrection is so imperfect and in complete, and the uncertainty respecting the fate of the officers of some of the Bengal regiments con tinues to be so great, that the following list is pro bably incorrect iu many particulars ; but it has bee❑ drawn up from, the best information obtainable, and is more complete and accurate than any state ment previously published : QUEEN'S SERVICE.

Of the Bombay establishment Colonel Penny, Captain Spottiswoode, and Cornet Newbury, of the Bombay Lancers, tell at Nusseerabad ; and Lieutenant Nicolson and Ensign Heathfield, of the 27th Native Infantry, and Ensign Stubbs, of the 9th, at Kolapore. Very little is known of the casualties in the Puri anti, and the foregoing list only includes three who fell there. Of those who have been reported as severely wounded no sub - equent accounts have been received except in a few cases. Of the 18th, 28th, and 41st Bengal Regiments very little is known ; but it is feared that nearly all the officers who were with these regiments (at Bareilly, Shahjehanpore, and Seetapore) have perished. It is also feared that a considerable proportion of the officers in Lucknow may have fallen. They cons►sted of the officers of the Queen's 32d and of one company of the 84th, of the Bengal 13th, 48th, and 71st, of the 7th Cavalry, several officers of the Engineers and Artillery, and of the Oude Irregular Force. No complete list can at present be compiled of the memb-rs of the military families who have nest an untimely end. Of the uncovenanted service it is known that Dr. Buck, of the Bareilly College; Mr. Tregar, of the Delhi College ; Mr. Stroyan, Assistant Commissioner in Oude ; Mr. F. Hulbard, Professor of Agra College, and many more have been murdered. Among the persons unconnected with Government Mr. Heatly, editor of the Delhi Gazette; Mr. Tandy, late secretary of the North-West , rn Bank ; many merchants and traders, and Mr. Newlands, tire photographer, have been killed ; and the following list has been published of missionaries who have fallen victims :—The Rev. A. R. Hulbard, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Rev. J. Mackay, of the Baptist Mission at Delhi ; the Rev. W. H. Haycock, and H. Cockey, of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel at Cawnpore ; the Rev. J. Macallum of the Additional Clergy Society at Shabjehaopere ; the Revs. Messes. Freeman, Johnstone, Campbell, M‘Mullen, and their fan Nee, of the American Presbyterian Mission at Futtey gisur ; and the Rev. Mr. Hunter and family of tie Scottish Mission at Sealkote. Of the civilians who have fallen the following is be lieved to be a correct list :—Simon Fraser, D. Robert. son, T. K. Lloyd, R. T. Tucker, G. D. Raikes, R. B. Tnornhill, J. P. M'Whirter, C. J. Ildlersden, J. R. Hutchinson, J. Strachey, A. Galloway, G. J. Christian, J. Wedderhurn, W. C. Watson, M. Ricketts, H. B. Thoruhil', J. R. Maokillop, A. Johnstone, J. G. The mason, A. H. Black, R. N. Lewia, R. B. Cuppage; C. V. Jenkins (?), W. R. Moore, D. Grant. C. W. Cul,- liffe, J. B. Thornhill, and 1t H. Pomeroy. The following is an extract from a letter dated Umballah, Aug. 25 : "I have just helped on a heavy train of siege guns -24 guns and mortars of heavy calibre, and 1,200 cart loads of shot and shell. They should reach Delhi about the Gth Sept., and, allowing them a week for getting them into position, the attack may possibly take place about the 15th or 20th. In the meantime the rebel., have gone out on a marauding expedition towards to wards 'lanai, where G:neral Van Cortlandt is with a smail force, quite ready to thrash them." TBE Q UEEN'S BETURN.

BIRMINCAIM, Friday. —This afternoon a meeting of the Liberals of Birmingham was Leti in the co:nmittee-room of the Town Hall, for the purpose of presenting an address to Lord John Russell. His lordship hiviri , arrived, Mr. George Daws rn proeeecied to read the document. which expre-zed the grateful remembrance of the inhabitants of Birmingham for theservicr s he had rendered to the cause of political reform, and a hope that he migl4 lone . be "spired to consummale thoeo political and religious reforms with which his nan e will ever le associated." Lord John Rus ell in reply said : Allow me to express my gratitude to you for the horour you have done me by the presentation of this address. I feel exceedingly sensible of the honour done me by these who reprsent the Liberal party of the town of Bi - rningham. lam quite aware how very imperfe_it at best have been my siirvices in the cause cf r:- form, and I am equally aware of the infla ie which your town exerts in promoting the of jet's which we have in common at heart, and I think i very desirable that that influence Phould be r, - taitied and increased. (Cheers) I can assure you that 1 have pursued a course which was t all events in cousonince with my own opinions, and if I have differed from you in some things on which the Liberal party has not been united, it was that I might promote the welfare of the country in that manner which I thought the best—(Lear, hear, and cheers.) And there is that respect f,,, free disousiion iu this c3un'iry that we are will ng to allow each other to promote what we conscie - tionsly believe to be right in our own way without imputing on the one hand insincerity, or on the other hand, inconsistency. I have written down a few words which I intended to read to you in answer to the address, and with your permis s ion I shall read them. His lordship then read as follows : " Gentlemen,—l beg to retur n my sincere thanks for the address you have done me the honour to present to me. good opinion of en "l appreciate highly the lightened men of the Liberal hippy if I am able iu any degree tolarty'praonmd I promote objects of political and religious freedom which we hope t attain in common.

THE LATE "MYSTRIIIOUS DEATH IN THE REGENTthe 'S. CANAL• —Last eveni n g an itiquer4 was held at Quee.,'s Arius public-house, Twig Folly-bridge, Bethnal green, respecting the Beat of a man, unknown, who was found dead in the Regener-nanal, near the Victoria park. The jury, althotT,h the case was involved in mystery, returned an open verdict of " Found dead in the Ilegent's-canal, but when, how, or by what means the deceased cams into the water there was no legal evidence to show." TIIE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION. LATEST PARTICULARS—(THIS DAY.) We regret to find that the valuable informat'on contained in Mr. Richards's letter, published by us yesterday, relative to this murder is thought of so little importancethat the police appear to have thrown it and its contents completely on one side. Their eff Tts to discover the murd er h ate I• een hi g hl y lauded this morning by a contemporary on the ground, of an apparently official eommunioation, that the inquiries made by Mr. Sr per!ntendent Durkin of the Glasgow police relative to Mr. If. Patterson, result in their informing him that the last time they saw Mr. Patterson was on the 15th of September, and that they don't think that the dress found in the carpet-bag corresponds with that worn by him when they saw him. The London police, therefore, it appears, take it for granted that if Mr. Patterson was alive, and at Glasgow on the 15th ult., he could not have been at Stafford on the 29th. What more likely, when we consider the ostentatious display of wealth indulged in by Mr. Patterson at Stafford, that he did the same in London, which migh t have induced parties to track him till a convenient opportun;ty arose for sacri fi.ing the man for the sake of his money. It is strange if Mr. H. Patterson be alive, and in Eng land, that he has not communicated by telegraph with the police. Such stupid blundering as that shown by the heads of the police in this case is most disgraceful, and yet, strange to say, their conduct has been applauded where it ought to have bent censured. Acquiescing in the force of our remarks mado a few days since, and acting on our suggestion, Professor Taylor has been instructed by the Homc-office to make an examination of the re mains, with the view of ascertaining the sex of the person murdered, and, if possible, the cause of death. The examination is not yet concluded. Tho inquiries made this afternoon at Bow-street station convince us that so long as the case remains exclusively in the hands of that branch of the police force the perpetrators of the murder will never be discovered. For the sake of the force generally, and especially those portions of it whose previous conduct in matters of this kind have justly earned for them the respect and admiration of the public, we call npon them to throw all official delicacy aside, and set their minds earnestly to work in unravelling this most mysterious! affair, feeling confident that if they do so, the matter will La speedily set at rest by the apprehension (if it be a murder) of the actual murderer or murderers. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fame.) THE ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. To-day was appointed for hearing further arguments on the question whether the affairs of the above •com pany should be wound up under the powers of this court. Mr. Jones appeared for the company, and said that be had but few observations to make. Since the last meeting in this court a meeting was held by the share holders to investigate the affairs, and the meeting was then adjourned till the 2d of November. He (Mr. Jones) therefore propossd that the present meeting should be adjourned until after the latter date. Mr. Fleming, for the sbarehclders, objected, and said tLat a committee was originally appointed to investigate the accounts, and to consider whether the directors ought to be removed ; but, as that committee was not deemed by some to be impartial, another was appointed, and he considered that the directors had committed a breach of faith, having since elected three additional directors. He therefore urged that, should, the meeting b e adjourned, some conditions should be annexed, so as to prevent the interference of the directors with the pro ceedings of the committee. His . Honour —Then I understand you that the appointment of the additional directo rs was in violation of a distinct understanding. Mr. Fleming said it was so, decidedly ; for the object of the appointment of the committee was not only to investigate the accounts and consider whether new directors should be appointed, but also whether the affairs of the company could be successfully carried out, and he complained of the breach of faith on the part of the directors. His Honour did not see that he had power to make an order. The directors asked for an adjournment and if he made any general order to prevent them from actively interfering it would be inoperative. Same specific matter must be stated. Mr. Fleming said that all that was required woo, that the committee should be planed in the name position as they were before at the last meeting. Mr. Jones thought that it was understood he was supporting the views of Mr. Fleming. He applied for an adjournment, considering it was the best course, but if Mr. Fleming liked he was willing to go on, but the company would be ruined. Mr. Fleming said he should not agree to go on with the ease. Mr. Jones eaid he would not consent to be placed under any terms, and the shareholders could as easily di miss the whole of the directors as some. After a long discussion, Hie Honour did not think that he ought to make any order imposing conditions on the directors, and thought that an adjournment ought to take place, if there wee any prospect of carrying on the business of the Gardens succesEfully, The case was ultimately adjoitreed till the 16th of December at 11 o'clock, Mr. Levy appeared for Madame Caradori, and Mr. Palmer, a shareholder and creditor. IMPORTANT CASE. Mr. Chidley applied, in a case of a public company being wound up under the act, that one of the contribu tories should be struck out of the list, as he had been induced, being a creditor, to become a shareholder, but he had been induced to do so by misrepresentation: ?Jr. Chidley argued at considerable length, that, according to the decision of the Vice-Cnancollor, tho Contributory wi.o had become so ti,rough fraudulent misrepresenta tion— His Honour said that he could not take Dews Paro c reports in str:h important cases. Mr. Chidl3y said the CABO was quoted in the has Times and lewd papers. Ma Honour sail be could only look on thi cage in ,tlre same way as in a case of partnership of A, B, C, and D. If a creditor came in to prove for credit o to the fuur, he of course could do se. The fraud upon D by A B C did not remove the resPos• sibi!ity and liability from D. ; but when all the creditors sad been paid the question would arise as to the trawl b Aween the partners. Under those circumstances shareholder or contributor was liable to the claim of 6b creditor, and could not be expunged from the list. THE FESTIVAL OF THE MOIIURRUZL • A private let'or from Pondicherry, dated Sept. 4, says : "In ordinary times the first ten days of the lunar thatpula population f w an o a u ti lc i month of the Mohurrum are, as regards the Mussulmant4 a period of over-exciternent, and frequently of disturb. ante. of the , excesses s t 0 11 fii in consequence h y ce e mil,tary mutiny.

The Imam was killed in the plains of Kerbalach by Chemar, the General of Vezid, Prince of. Damascus, and his cow' pLtitor for the . I.balifat. On the eighth day of this mourning the agony of the Iman is represented in illuminated chapels erected in the streets. The true believers curse his assassin and celebrate his merits with the most hyperbolical praises. On the 10th del the festival concludes with a procession known under the name of the Gounds. The population attends in crovvds, and each corporation carries on litters orns' mental structure?, brilliantly illuminated with revolving lights, which produce a very picturesque effect. These Uounds are afterwards carried two miles outside the town where their immersion in a lake puts an end to the ceremony. This festival passed over in Pondicherry w i t h the greatest order, aithougla with three days Of incessant noise." BESIGNATION OF THE HEAD MASTER OF THE PRO' TO GRAMMAR. SCE;OOL.—The Rev.
