It appears that little is likely to be done and a good deal said in Parliament before Christmas. India and toe Bank Charter Act will furnish plenty to say, and all the more because the greater part of Honourable Members and Noble Lords are profoundly ignorant of the real merits of the case in reference to either question. The Government, it is said, is to assume the entire control of things in India, and with regard to the Bank Charter Act, a all of Indemnity having been obtained, the further consideration of the question is to be referred to the Committee which will be re-appointed when Parliament meets after Christmas. Of course the suspension of the act will continue, the country will have to endeavour to preserve its existence under a. system of " inconvertible notes" —some what similar to that which existed from 1797 to 1815, and which state the bnl lioniste sneer at because they can find no argument whatever to prove that it was not an infinitely better system of currency than Peel and Overstone's. In the meanwhile 10 per cent. discounts are a heavy blow and great discouragement to trade. It does not even appear certain that the silver drain will be effectually checked by the destructive and ruinous depression of all kinds of commodities and produce which is taking place. The truth is that the gold discoveries have caused a wonderful expansion of trade all over the world, this ex pansion has foudd its representative in immense quan tities of instruments of exchange. Bills, cheques, securities of every kind have multiplied, and now, at the command of the Bank Charter Act, all this expan-r sion is to be squeezed into the narrow limits of a gold currency. The expansion having been greater than in 1847, the contractiou is also greater, and the operation more severe. The nextpanic (should Pell's bills continue in force) will probably be Worse than this of 1857. The political effects of these commercial convulsions are not difficiilrto asnineture. Whenever a similar monetary crisis has haippened, there has been a growing feeling of dissatisfaction with the present state of things which has manifested itself in changes of the existing institutions of laws. We have had 13 changes of Administration since the passing of Peel's I bill in 1819. The cycle of monetary affairs renders the retention of office by any Minister, for more than a few years, very difficult. We wish well to Lord Palmerston. He has shown himself an independent, spirited English Minister in times of difficulty and danger. But unless he reforms the monstrous monetary system under which the country groans, his days of office are, we are con vinced, numbered. We say this, feeling with many others, that the coun try will be at a loss to replace him with an efficient and capable Minister. But the commercial ruin which has occurred, and the consequent distress and misery of thousands and tens of thousands of the people, will inevitably cause a desire for change, in the hope of that change producing an amendment. We can but hope that some man may rise with courage and sagacity to apply, as William Pitt did iu 1797, the true remedy for the nation's evils. With a sound and sufficient currency, defended from exportation by being convertible into gold only at the marlect price, these devastating commercial and financial storms would be almost, if not entirely, prevented. As it is , trade is fast bsing forced into a mere gambling game. The bills of 1819 and 1844 encourage speculation, and furnish the means for carrying it on, till when a few years have passed a contraction of the currency takes place, and all the energies of the nation are prostrated beneath the feet of a gang of cold-blooded and heartless usurers. " 0 verstone" and the Tinto' writers have two ideas on the subject. One is to support their silly trumpery currency crotchet, which experience has twice demon strated to erroneous in principle, and, in effect, imprac ticable ; and the other is to make money out of the ruin of their fellow-countrymen.

On Thursday a meeting of the Royal National Life boat Institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi. The Duke of Northumberland, MG., Presi dent, in the chair. There were also present Captain M`Hardy, RN. ; Mr. Thomas Chapman, V.P., F.R.S., Mr. George Lyall, Mr. Alexander Bootefour, Mr. Montague Gore, General Blanchard, C. 8., Mr. James Peake, Rev. C. B. Gribble, M.A , Admiral Cator, Admiral Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., Captain Perrot, and Captain Ward, R.N., inspector of lifeboats to the institution. Mr. LEWIS, the secretary, having read the minutes of ,he previous meeting, _ _ . A reward of 10/.vas voted to the crew of the life boat of the institution, stationed at Teignmouth, Devon, had been capsized from their boat on Teignmouth Bar, in a very heavy sea, on the 27th ult. It being at the time ebb tide, the swamped boat, with the three men, drifted out through the heavy sea to seaward. Small boats in vain attempted to reach her, but the lifeboat majestically pursued her way through the rolling surf, and soon reached the disabled boat, to which the two poor men were clinging, the third having unfortunately sunk to rise no more. The lifeboat proved herself in every respect a first-rate one, and every praise was also due to her gallant crew. Rewards to the amount of 46/. 10s. were also granted to the crews of the Aldborough (Suffolk), Portmadoc, and Rhyl (tubular) lifeboats, for laudably putting off, some of them in the night, with the view of rendering assistance to the crews of ships in distress. It is satis factory to find that wherever the lifeboats of the institu tion is stationed no difficulty is over experienceed in manning them on cases of emergency; and although the gallant men are always sure to receive their well-earned rewards from the society, still they are ever forward to render what assistance they can to a fellow-creature in uistress apart from the prospect of any pecuniary rem. neration. A reward of 201. was likewise voted to a boat's crew of ten men, for putting off in her and rescuing at the risk of their lives, the crew of th ree p ersons from a billy boyc h wase(3 Se e ing wrecked a dangerous r N o V u i e n te positionrt n,Norfolk, of t he on wreck'sthe 2c c r ew , w h , with a very , wh ultthl s e salvors immediately launched a fr ai l fishing coble. It was just low water at t he time, heavy sea. The coble was hardly i n a condition for use, and the wonder was how the men collected oars, and trusted themselves to such a boat in going o n so perilous an adventure. A reward of 21. was also voted to two men for wading, at considerable risk of life, into the surf at so me preci pitous rocks, to the rescue of three men of the wrecked sloop Brothers, of Red Bay, near Belfast. Oee of the salvors, a coast-guardsman, had lost his hold on tee rocks, and was precipitated into the see,. He was only saved from being drowned by the other men. A reward of 51. was also granted to a boat's crew for their laudable exertions in rescuing. close to the Barber Sands, seven men of the crew of the brig Robert and Ann, of Sunderland, which had sunk during a gale of wind near the Scroby Sands, on the 22d ult. The crew bad taken to their boat, which was partly stove, and without any oars. In this state they were fortunately found on the night of the above-named day by a Yar mouth lugger. The silver medal of the institution was presented to James Hogbin, coxswain of the Ramsgate Royal Har bour lifeboat, in acknowledgment of his repeated ser vices in assisting to save life in that excellent lifeboat. This boat has been off on service during the last four years between sixty and seventy times, and has been instrumental in saving a large number of persons ship wrecked on or near the fatal Goodwin Sands. Hogbin has, we believe, been afloat in her on s very occasion. The life-boats, together with a steamer to tow her out, is maintained exclusively by the liberality of the Rams gate Harbour trustees, and there is no lifeboat in the kingdom which in so short a time has done anything like the servioe of this valuable life-boat. She was built by Beeching, of Great Yarmouth, but was afterwards altered to the plan of the life-boats adopted by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. An interesting resport was read by the inspector of life-boats to the institution on his recent visits to the several life-boat stations belonging to the institution on the Irish coast. These periodical visits of a responsible and thoroughly experienced officer are everywhere at tended with much benefit. On these occasions, what ever may be the state of the weather, he always takes the life-boats afl ;at to teF t their efficiency, and closely examines everything connected with the lifeboat estab lishment. Thus, as far as the parent institution is con cerned, aided by the zealous co-speration of its several branches, efficiency is secured in the management of its lifeboats, and experience has demonstrated that unless a lifeboat is carefully examined and looked after, she will assuredly fail in her service in the hour of need. The institution decided to station new lifeboats at Holyhead and at Ardmore, on the Irish coast. It was also resolved to take into connection with it, under cer tain conditions, the Norfolk lifeboats. There are six or seven lifeboats on that dangerous coast, and in times past some of them have rendered efficient service to shipwreck! crews. But most of these boats will now require to be replaced by new lifeboats at a large cost. It cannot be too generally known that during the current year the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has ex pended nearly 4,0001. on lifeboat establi:hments alone ; but that has only been accomplished by intrenching to a considerable amount on its small funded capital. It, therefore, rests with the British puolic to say whether an institution which is one of the noblest in our land, and which will soon have under its management about 70 l ifeboat s , shall pursue its career of usefulness with uninterrupted vigour. A contribution of 1501. was most liberally presented to th e . instit u ti on b y th e Shipw rec ked Fi s h ermen an d Mariners' Society, which had been collected from its members in aid of the lifeboat.cause. The proceedings then closed. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Dec. 5 were 2,084, of which 665 were new CMOS. PRINCE ADAM CZA.RTORYSKL On Sunday, the 29th November, the Poles present in Paris celebrated, as usual, the anniversary of their last insurrection in 1830, first by attending mass in the church of the Assumption, where a sermon was delivered by the AbbiS Jelowioki, and a collection was made for the fund of the charitable society presided over by the Princess Czartoryski, and afterwards by assembling at the Poli-h library, No. 6, Quai d'Orleans, where the Polish Literary and Historical Society held a public meeting, in which Prince Czartoryski once more pro nounced one of those speeches in which, during 27 years, he has on similar occasions conveyed instruction and consolation to his fellow-countrymen, and has, so to say, passed them under review. The venerable prince once more reminded of the duties and the virtues which their country had a right to demand of them. " While the world is at peace," said the Prince, let us devote our selves to the study of everything that may conduce to frustrate our endeavours, let us in our domestic life purify and strengthen ourselves, so as to be prepared for better times. Let us, above all things, hold fast our faith. Let us show that we are capable of making any sacrifice for it In this way, and under this banner, we will tire out time itself ; and, perhaps, even the new Emperor of Russia may refuse to sully his reign by the continuation of a perse cution which, after having torn from the Church millions of Polish Catholics, threatens with the same fate a whole diocese of the united ritual. Yes, gentlemen, our faith is the torch that lights us, as it is the breath of our life." Having expressed his deep regret that, in spite of their protracted residence in the west, the Polish emi gration had never yet succeeded in making the nations understand that Poland, though partitioned, neverthe less continues to form an integral, bound together by the same national s en ti ment. The no bl e orator con• tinned--" It was gen era ll y believed in Europe that as soon as peace was co nc l u d e d we would all hasten to take advantage of the amnesty. We were congratulated on our unexpected good fortune, it being supposed that we would hurry to return to our country to recover our property. A small number of emigrants, whose strength had been broken down by exile and by privation, did indeed return to their country ; but the greater number persist in representing their country before Europe. Certain journals take upon themselves to assert that the notable personages in the emigration, whom they please to designate as the aristocratic party, are negotiating their return on condition of being re instated in all their possessions. This is a double mis take, for in Russia the State never restores property which it has once taken possession of ; and, on the other hand, if even such restitution were offered to us we would not accept it. That upon which our hearts are fixed is not the recovery of our possessions, but the recovery of our national independence. Your presence here, gentlemen, proves that as regards this point there is but one mind among es. Our youth and our maturity were consecrated to this cause, and a similar and con stant devotion will mark every day that still remains to us of life. On this day I may be allowed to recal to your mind how, in 1831, Poland, standing alone, aban doned by all, reduced to a fifth part of her original territory, was able during a whale year to offer effectual resistance to Russia, who was secretly aided by an ally, who professed to remain neu tral. Yet we have just seen this same Russia standing out for two years against the gigantic efforts and incalculable sacrifices made by the Western Powers and Turkey united against her. Ah, if in her time Poland had but received the least amount of assist ance . . . who can doubt that she would have tri umphed ? Aud if, during the recent war, the West would but have called Poland to its assistance, what different results would not its efforts have had ? But, instead of this, what do they now say to us ?—That though our hopes may have been raised by the late war, in future there is no hope for us. Alas, during the war, as well as before the war, the support given to our hopes by the policy of Europe was very feeble, and we have therefore now no new reason to de spair. That war was never earnestly desired. After h av i ng a ttempted in vain to limit it t o t h rea t s , care was taken to restrict it within the narrowest bounds. f r om the dominions of a ll th e belligerents, the heroism of the a rmies lef t no room for the genius of the commanders to app ear. The consequences and contra dictions which followed in reality offered no ch an ces for us ; ill success alone co uld have dr iven the allies out of the circle within which they had fat a ll y p rock,Duri During gfar this sanguinary and co , tly duel, f oug ht upon a penned themselves. And, we are bou nd to admit t his, for from leaving us in doubt on this p oint, the y w ere scrupulous in giving us notices calculate d to p rese rve our country from new disasters. As for the e ver ren ewed offers of the Poles to lend their assistance t o a ca use, which they considered as that of their country, they were always rejected by the commanders of the armies in the East. However, one cheering re membrance remain s t o us from that pain ful period. At the moment when the siege of Sebastopol was already far advanced, one of the allied powers, that one which has always been most generous to us, that one whose noble hospitality enables u 3 this day to pour out our hearts to:each other—France, I mean—at last declared that in order to continue the sacrifices required by the war, it • had become necessary to assign to it in future an object more worthy of such great efforts, and that the re-establishment of Poland must in evitably follow. England, who, during four centuries, had always taken part for Russia against Polaud, had at last determined to form and use against Russia a distinct Polish corps ; neverateless she consi dered the proposal of France premature. However, the rumour of this proposal transpired, and was not uncon nected with the unexpected enzpressement with which Russia—weakened, moreover, and undermined by a corrupt Administration which she is at present making speed to reform— accepted the proposals of peace, which were so strongly recommended to her by her two Ger man neighbours. You see, gentlemen that the West, and more especially F rance and the Emperor, were in clining in oarfavour—the Emperor who ever extends to us his magnanimeus protection. But circumstances frustrated his calculations ! The peace of Paris has re stored Europe to the condition in which it was previous to the war. The same uncertainty prevails, the same dangers threaten; an d, in consequence, there is the same necessity to hold armies in readiness for a struggle for which the very repose enjoyed seems but a prepaFgv, DECEMBER 7, 1857. tion. At the same time, the three Powers, which the conjoint responsibility of the partition of Poland has so long united in a close alliance, at present rather maintain a defiant position towards each other. It may be that one of them will one day look with a longing eye to Poland for aid. Po. land at all times belonged to Europe, of which she formed the limit, and, as it were, the sentinel, watch ing, in the North and the East, the gigantic State whose frontiers stretch through Asia to the shores of the Pacific, and whose religion, whose manners, and whose tendencies have merely received a superficial and deceptive varnish from Europe. This State, whose extent greatly surpasses that of Eurepe—whose re sources are so immense—whose government is the most absolute, may, by a little foresight and activity, double its power during a few years of peace. Of what immense importance to the safety of Europe may not, therefore, our nation one day become —our nation which, in its geographical position and in its persever ing attachment to its lost independence, contains such guarantees of regeneration. But let us, %‘ ithout pre occupying ourselves too much with these eventualities, and seeking to penetrate the secrets of the future, endeavour zealously to fulfil the duties and perform the work of each day. Eternal justice is often retarded. By the ordeal of misfortune God purifies our hearts, and allows us to acluire merits ; let us, therefore, my dear fellow-countrymen, strengthen our faith and our confidence in a Divine Providence, and learn ever more to submit cheerfully to His will, and let us increase in zeal for His just and merciful law. ARRIVAL OF THie INDIA MAILS AND PASSEAGERS. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 6. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Ripon, Captain H. W. Powell, arrived here to-day, ,at 1 p.m., with the heavy portion of the Mb. and' Chiria mails, and'Alliithe - Siiiiiharepton portion of . 'the Emeu's Australian mails (which, it will be remembered were picked up from a native boat off Tor), the whole in charge of Lieutenant G. J. Gardner, R.N., Admiralty agent. This steamer left Alexandria on the 21st ult., Malta the 25th, and Gibraltar on the Ist inst. In the Me diterranean she experienced strong westerly breezes, and from Gibraltar variable winds, with very heavy sea. The Ripon brings 73 passengers, including Rear- Admiral the Hon. Henry Keppel, C.B. Imme diately on the vessel's arrival in dock to-day Mrs. Finnis (the lady of the late Lord Mayorof London), the Mayor of Southampton (Mr. John White), and other members of the Relief Committee went on board, but no case came under their notice requiring the administration of relief. We were infernaed that some clothing had been distributed among a few of the passengers from India during the voyage. The case of a lady named Moir, who with her two children came home in the Ripon is deserving of notice from the terrible inci dents associated with it. This lady was the wife of a doctor who was shot by the mutineers in a bunga low 600 miles up the country, and he died in her arms. After this she escaped, together with her two children, and in passing through the jungle, where e-he encountered great hardships, lost one of them, but to her inexpressible joy the child was restored to her o a arriving at Calcutta, having been picked up on the road by a gentleman, and by him taken to that city. Lieutenant Campbell, who escaped from Fyzabad on horseback, is also among the Ripon's passengers. On freight the Ripon brings 26 packages of specie, value 34,5651., and a cargo consisting of 3,27 4 bales and 40 cases of silk, five cases of indigo, 10 cases of tortoiseshell, three boxes of China ink, 18 chests of tea, 7 packages of elephant's teeth, two boxes of jewelery, and 160 package& of sundries. Gibraltar advices are to the let inst. A terrific storm of thunder and lightning, with occasional heavy showers of rain, burst over the Rock early on the afternoon of the 29th and lasted until about 1.30 a.m. on the 30th. Exchanges ou the 28th were quoted as follows :—London, 90 days' date, 491 ; Paris, ditto, sf. 32c. ; Marseilles, ditto, sf. 33c. ; Genoa, ditto, sf. 35c. ; Madrid, 8 days' sight, 1i dis. ; Cadiz, ditto, par ; Malaga, ditto, / dis. ; Seville, ditto, a dis. ; Alicante, ditto, 1i dis. ; Valencia, ditto, -a dis. ; Barcelona, ditto, ft dig. Spanish pillared dollars 4 per cent. premium, none —no demand. The British steamers James Brown and Progress, from London, arrived at Gibraltar, the former on the 26th for Constantinople, and the latter on the 30th for Gibraltar and Palermo. Thrit_Peningrilar awl ni.iont-ni steam ship Nemesis, with the mails of the 20th ult. from Southampton, passed Gibraltar on the 26th ; she had experienced heavy weather after leaving South ampton. The Ripon spoke on the 28th of November, in 37.33 N., long. 3.52 W., the screw steamer Arca dia, steering to the eastward ; 29th, iu lat. 36.56 N., long. 1.15 W., the brig Josephine, steering to the eastward; and Dec. 5, at 3 p.m., off Ushant, the Peninsular and Oriential steamer Indus, steer ing to the westward. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Candia arrived at Madras on the 31st of October. A gentleman on board the Ripon has handed us the following statement of the arrival out of troop ships :—The Golden Fleece • steamer, at Calcutta, out 68 days ; the Thebes steamer, at Calcutta, out about 74 days ; the Caledonia steamer, at Cal cutta, out about 84 days ; the Nile sailing ship, at Calcutta, not known ; the Sydney steamer, at the River Hooghly, out 72 days ; the Bucephalus sail ing ship, at Sands Heads, out 117 days ; the United Kingdom steamer, at Madras, out 85 days ; the Carthage steamer, at Madras, out 79 days ; the Alnwick Castle sailing ship, at Madras, out 98 days; the Barham sailing ship, at Madras, out of 105 days ; the John Bull steamer, at Point de Galle, out 85 days ; the Sussex sailing ship, at Point de Galle, out about 80 days ; the Whirlwind sailing ship, at Point de Galle, out 88 days. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS i 0 INDIA. Towards the end of April 3,270 Turkish soldiers . bound to the Hedjaz, crossed the de s e rt to Suez, in five detachments, which started on five successive days. They were conveyed by railway to No. 8 Station, and thence by easy daily marches they reached Suez, in five days from the time of starting. As soon as the desire of the English Government to send troops across the Isthmus to India was inti mated to the Pacha of Egypt, he expressed his eagerness to afford every possible facility to their transit. As 1,200 Turkish soldiers were on one occasion forwarded in the way we have mentioned, it is obvious that 1,000 English soldiers might have beensta Station conversanton to withoo. forwarded sBueb zy d E a :ra daily lyyipml railway, y, theehh of 12 same manner, at any time since the news of the Bengal mutiny reached England. As is stated in a letter of one thoroughly of this day, the troops could have been carried to and nh a pdc miles alcould s i hn a p voe e u r diem,r issuethence advanced tents having been pitched and kitchens placed pre viously at the end of each march for sleep and food. Our correspondent states further, that at any time since the outbreak in India, " with no other con veyance than the mail steamers coming to Suez, 700 men could have each month been placed in Calcutta, 400 in Bombay, and 300 in Ceylon. These last could have been taken on to Bombay by the China steamers calling at Point de Galle twice a month, and these troops have been placed in India without inconvenience to the passenger traffic, and without the withdrawal of a single steam transport from the Indian Government." Acclimatised troops were stationed at Gibraltar, Malta, and Corfu, the greater part of which might safely have been despatched at once, as the profound state of peace in Europe ren ders any danger to these stations from a Coup de main, before their substitutes arrived, out of the question. Of course it would only have been the first batch of men that would have been dependent on the ordinary means of conveyance from Suez, for it is well known that Lord Elphinstone had steam transports ready to despatch to Suez as soon as he should hear that troops were to be sent Over land to India. The first mail that brought intelligence of the mutiny in Bengal, brought also an expression of opinion from every Englishman in India—with the sole exception of the Governor-General and the Council—that troops ought immediately to be de spatched from England by the Overland route. The Directors of the E ist India Company urged the Home Government to forward reinforcements without loss of time by the overland route. In the press and in Parliament, Ministers were implored to send off troops by the overland route. All was unavailing. Mr. Vernon Smith laughed, and said the disturbances in Bengal were quite trifling, and would probably die out of themselves before troops Gould reach India from England ; Lord Palmerston and his colleagues agreed that it was quite sufficient to send reinforcements to India by the longest road, and by any means of conveyance that could be pro cured with the least exertion and at the cheapest rate. What has been the consequence 4 On th e Gth of October the officer commanding at Cawnpore tele graphed to the Chief of the Staff at Calcutta — "Communication between Cawnpore and I =know only by Gould, and Yory unoortaiu," On au) lei of [Pitioß 4D. S TAmpED 5D.] October the Commander-in-Chief telegraphed to Captain Peel, at Allahabad, "In the course of about a week there will be a continuous stream of troops, at the rate of about 90 a day, pouring into Allahabad, which. I trust will not cease for the next three months." On the 2d of October Sir Jas. Outram had contrived to smuggle a brief message out of Lucknow, which was at once transmitted from Cawnpore to Calcutta by telegraph. In it we read :—" The insurgents are too strong to admit of withdrawing from this garrison. . . . Two additional brigades, with powerful field artillery, would be required to withdraw the garrison or re duce the city." On the 2d of October, Sir James Outram was convinced that nothing could be done at Lucknow to ensure the safety of the garrison (with its " sick, wounded, women, and children, amounting to 1,000"), before the arrival of two additional brigades with a powerful field artillery. On the 4th of October the Commander-in-Chief was of opinion that, "in the course of about a week," troops would begin to arrive at Allahabad at the rate of ninety men a day. At this rate, when would the two brigades, with their powerful field artillery, be assembled at Cawnpore ? Tile heart sickens when the condition of the garrison at Lucknow is thought of. It is impossible to say when two brigades may be mustered at Cawnpore to advance upon Lueknow. And the reason of the delay is the paucity of European troops in India. But that the European soldiers in India are so few that these two brigades could not be assembled at Cawnpore long before the beginning of October, is °wino. solely to the callous levity with which Lord Pal merston and his colleagues refused to lend an car to the united voices of our countrymen in India, of the East India Directors, and of the people of Eng land speaking through the press and Parliament, utging , them to send reinforcements to India by the overland route. It the garrison nt Lucknow are to share the fate of the garrison at Cawnpore their blood will rest on the heads of Lord Palmerston and his colleagues. For every man, woman, and child that dies in consequence of the unnecessary delay in relieving Lucknow, Lord Palmerston and his colleagues are responsible. And yet with this awful truth staring them in the face, Lord Palmerston's subservient Parliament seem well disposed to maintain an unbroken silence on the subject of India till February. Lord Palmerston tells them that when they meet again in February ho will have measures for the future government of India to lay before them. That is not the immediate question. How India is to be governed in future may be discussed at leisure ; the present duty of Parliament is to inquire whe ther everything has been done that the existing administrative arrangements of India admit of, to relieve our endangered countrymen there ? and if not, why not ! With the facts which we have recounted, showing the ease with which reinforcements might have been despatched across the Isthmus of Suez, and the indolent apathy with which Ministers failed to avail them selves of that route, it is impossible not to enter tain the conviction that Ministers have not done for the relief of our countrymen in India what it was their duty, and what they had ample means at their disposal to do. There is not a bereaved family in England that is not filled with rage and grief at this conviction. There is not an Englishman at present on the Continent who is not galled and irritated by incessant taunts at the incapacity and apathy of the English Government in regard to the Indian mutiny. A fierce spirit is kindling in the breasts of the English people that may ere long prove fatal, not only to Ministers, but to any servile Parliament that may venture to interpose between them and the nation's wrath. It will be dangerous for Parliament to adjourn before the conduct of our rulers with reference to the Indian mutiny has been fully and fearlessly discussed. BRITISH OFFICIALS IN EGYPT-DETEN TION OF THIS AUSTRALIAN MAIL. The following letter has been addressed to the editor of the Daily News:— Sir,—Of what benefit to the commercial world has been the speedy passage of the good ship Simla Here still lie her mails, nor can they go forward till the Tamar shall return, whilst a little thought on the part of tho functionaries in this land of the Pharaohs would have placed them, or at least the overland portion of them, near London. - - rbe .1,.

Arriving at No. 12 station at 9 p.m., and allow ine, one hour for the unloading of the camels and loading i ' into the railway waggons, by 10 p.m. of the 20th the train could have been on its way and would have been due at Alexandria at six o'clock on the morning of the 21st ; thus tie Sinila's mails might have been shipped off from the railway jetty and safely placed in the Vectis by 7 a.m., at which hour (daylight) she was advertised to leave for Marseilles with the Overland portion of the India mails brought to Suez by the Bentinck and Madras. If, however, more time had been necessary to have secured the departure of the Simla's mail in the Vectis, an hour or two of further detention could, without difficulty, have been obtained from the Admiralty agent ; but no appeal to him was made, nor does it appear that the forwarding of the mail by this opportunity ever entered the thoughts of either Postmaster or Consul-General. As it happened, from some delay en the part of the transit administration, the India mails did not reach the 'Feeds till 9 a.m., at which hour only the vessel put to sea. i s eho troops oppositerofl isel 21 s The cost of the special train would have been 501., no very great item for the Postmaster- General : there was no difficulty in the way of its hire ; the line throughout was clear, and the Vice roy would only have been too happy at the oppor tunity of rendering his railway of service to the British public. Unfortunately for those having correspondents in Australia, there are no mutinous Sepoys there, or their mails would have received more attention in Egypt, and the special train would have been specially applied for ; as it is, the detention must be regarded as the reward of loyalty. Of what im portance during the existing monetary crisis are the bills of lading for the 300,0001. brought to Suez by the Simla ?—the bills of lading of remittances via the Cape, the advices of future remittances and the commercial prospects in the colonies ? Of none in the eyes of the English employes in this country ? Such is the apathy and indifference of British officials out of England. Ask who is to blame ? The postmaster will tell you that the demand for a special train for the conveyance of a mail does not come within his province, but is a matter for the higher representative ; ask the consul-general, and he will say the postmaster did not make applica tion ; and by this red-tapeism the unfortunate public is sacrificed. Much more use, you may be assured, would have been made of this route for the conveyance of troops to India had its facilities been better known by the authorities at home. Since February last, 1,000 men per day might have been passed through. The troops would have been carried by railway to opposite No. 7 station . in the Desert, and the remaining 50 miles to Suez would have been done by daily marches of about 12 miles, tents being pitched and kitchens placed at the end of each March for sleep and food. The entire transit from Alexandria to Suez would have occupied five days. 8, and as the line progressed so would dimi nishing distance , have been carried by it the longer In on May tl ; e I t 7 h t l e i r o a f i l A w p a r y i i w , the marching and time of transit. bound tro N ol o e ' s for the Iledjaz crossed the Desert ; 91 3 1 6 : e ti ) 1,200 ; on the 22d, GOO ; on the 23d, 6 2 onthe station by railway, and thence marched to Suez in marches of about the distance before named.

Al.'s 9th Lancers in the saddle. 1 proceeded myself with H.M.'s Bth Itegt., and the 4th Punjab Infantry to the right flank, for the purpose of dis lodging the enemy and taking their guns, which were raking our camp. On the way I took with me the Ist, 2d, and sth Punjab cavalry, extending the infantry iu skirmishing order with their supports. I took the cavalry to the open space near the Euro • pear infantry barracks, with directions to move as circumstances would permit. The 9-pounder Agra battery had by this time come up. I advanced them in support of the infantry on the road leading from the Artillery parade-ground to the Dholepore road, and the skirmishers advanced and cleared the com pounds to their front. The Punjab Cavalry, under Lieut. Watson, had then the opportunity of mak ihg. a most gallant ebaree; driving off the enemy's ..,,PrApturin e , four guns. After this the rebels made no stand on the right, but the left con tinued to be hotly engaged, and the enemy's Sowars advanced with great determination on the guns, one of which was disabled from its gunners having been cut down, and for the moment in the possession of the enemy. It was, however, instantly recaptured, and the 9th Lancers charged the Sowars and drove them from the field. I regret to say that two most excellent officers, Lieuts. French and Jones, were wounded, the former mortally, and I fear that little hode can be entertained of the recovery of Lieut. Jones. I advanced during this time on the Dholepore road, capturing guns as we went on, and the 9th Lancers and Artillery, sup ported by the 7th and 2d Punjab Infantry, ad vanced on the left, taking four guns on their way. The whole line now moved to the front, the Pun jab Cavalry, as usual, performing most excellent service on the flanks till we reached a village three miles hence, where we halted for a short time, the whole of the enemy being then in full flight. We were now joined by the 3d. Europeans, and. Colonel Cotton, commanding at Agra, came up and took command of the whole of the troops. The enemy's camp was descried about two miles in advance, and we marched upon it, the road strewed in all direc tions with baggage and carts ; the infantry was ordered to halt at the camp, and the cavalry and artillery pursued. the enemy to the Kharee Nuddee, ten and a half miles from Agra. The enemy had crossed the river before we reached it, leaving be hind him all his guns, a return of which is attached. The artillery fired grape and round shot at the re treating enemy across the river, with good effect. The country all round was covered with fugitives, of whom a large number were cut up ; they have all now crossed the Kharee Nuddee. After a short halt we returned to camp, and the captured guns were all brought in during the night. I have not been able to estimate the enemy's number, as, in addition to the Indore force, and the Neemuch aad the Nusseerabad brigades, Sepoys were found killed belonging to the 16th Grenadiers, Hurrianah Light Infantry, Gwalior Contingent, and several others. The whole country as far as one could see was covered with fugitives, but of these many were probably camp followers and rabble. I have never seen such a rout, and had our artillery and cavalry been fresh few would have crossed the Kharee Nud dee, but they had. marched 41. miles in less than 30 hours before arriving at Agra. It is impossible tc say too much of the excellent conduct of the whole of the troops, officers, and men, and I trust it will meet with the approbation of the Major- General comm,2 'Ai no , the Field Force at Delhi. •- tt is my intention as soon have been joined by the detachment now on its way from Delhi, to proceed towards Futtyghur, with a view of effecting a junction with Gen. Havelock's force, subject to the approbation of General Penny. "I have, Src., "E. H. GREATHED, Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Moveable Column." SHORT TIME IN NORTH AND EAST LANCASFIIRE. Since our last notice of the conditions of manufacturing industry at Preston, Mr. It. Goodair, of the Springfield Mill, has commenced full time, as also have Messrs. Birley Brothers. Messrs. Napier and Goodair have likewise started the Wellington Mill 10 hours per day, and it is expected that the rest of their estab lishments will shortly be started on full time. These facts are cheering at the present crisis, and indica tive of brightening prospects for our staple trade. The inhabitants of Preston are generally in good spirits notwithstanding the depressionwhich exists ; and the prevailing opinion is that the crisis has arrived at its culminating point, and that henceforth improvement must be looked for, and at no remote period great prosperity. It may be interesting to mention the tact that since the opening of the soup kitchens 530 gallons of soup have been distributed daily. The supply is not equal to the demand, and preparations are being made for increasin g the quantity. The overlookers of the various factories formed a relief fund about six months ago, and the sum in hand has been very opportune during the present distress. Upwards of 801. have been distri buted among the needy members of that body. In Blackburn there are numerous signs of amendment, At the yarn-market held on Wednesday last there was great animation, and a considerable amount of business was done. The yarn-market at Blackburn is attended by the principal spinners and manufacturers in these parts of Lancashire. One report states— " The tone of feeling is decidedly improved, in con sequence of the brightening prospect which is open ing up in the country generally. On Friday three mills started full time—viz., Messrs. Rodgett and Brierley's Messrs. Forrest Brothers, and Mr. W. Dickinson's. The iron and building trades are greatly depressed, and handloom weaving is nearly at a stand still. In Burnley and a circuit of three miles there are between 70 and 80 factories, of which six are stopped altogether, and 12 are run ning full time, the rest being on short time. The ac counts from Accrington, Clayton-le-Moors, Great Harwood, and Darwen are very satisfactory, all things considered. It is perhaps as well briefly to give the facts, so that any misapprehension may be removed with regard to the supposed extent of the distress in the manufacturing districts. There are about 23 mills in and about Accington, and 10 are running full time. Two only are stopped, and the rest are either short time or part full and part short time. There is every probability of several of the latter running full time entirely. There are_ 16 es t a blishments in Clayton - le - Moors a nd Great Har wood carrying on calico printing and the cotton m anufacture. Of these 11 are runnin g full time, two are idle, and the rest are running six or eight hours a-day. There are 38 mills in Darwen, 22 of which are rnnningfull time, including the extensive concerns of Eccles, Thorrock, and Co., cotton ma nufacturers, and Messrs. C. Potter and Co., pap er makers. Two or three are closed, and the rest are on short time.
