the admitted evils were very serious. It appeared that in tome respects the Government did not fulfil its elementary duties of protection to life and property. The remedy for that was to be found in increasing the police, and getting more trustworthy persons, by giving them higher P i l e; He hoped the ju dicial s y stem would be attended to, and that financial objections would not be allowed to stand in the way of reform. Hoping the Government would attend to these questions, he could not support the re solution, though he was glad it had been discussed, and be believed the discussion would do great good. Mr. MANGLES, speaking for the Court of Direc tors, could assure the house that no consideration , of expense would prevent the Indian Government from giving the people the best system of police, and the best judicial administration they could devise, totally irrespective of expense. He regretted that the mis sionaries had mixed themselves up in the matter, and be believed that their indiscretion in this case had added immensely to the difficulties of the situation. He argued at great length against Sir E. Percy's no tion of introducing English barristers and English courts bit() India, and he quoted Mr. Macaulay's opi nion, that the British courts now in India were noto riously most dreaded by the natives. Lord BURY attributed much of the evils which had been described in India to the want of civil officers, which obliged military officers to be taken from their duties. Mr. MILLS urged on Mr. Kinnaird, after the die cuesion that had taken place, to withdraw his motion. After a few remarks from Mr. AYRTON against the motion, Mr. KINNAIRD said he would withdraw his mo tion after the appeals that had been made to him, and after the promises made by the Government that the subject should receive their attention. Mr. HADFIELD refused to allow the motion to be withdrawn, and accused the Government of having at. tempted to count out the house. Mr. LIDDELL reminded Mr. Hadfield that it would be better to have the motion withdrawn than rejected. Sir J. TRELA.WNY said the house would probably be pleased when he announced that the hon. member bad agreed, at his intercession, not to press for a division if Provernment would give a distinct pledge of reform. Mr. FULLER briefly addressed the house on the question that the motion be withdrawn, observing that blame bad been cast upon the missionaries for the lan guage io wbiah they spoke of the people, but members of the council used the Rime language, which he believed was the language of truth. He thought their thanks were due to the hon. member for Perth for bringing this matter forward ; but as the house seemed generally to - desire that it should be withdrawn, there was no more to .be said about it. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HADFIELD, however, declined to consent to the withdrawal. Mr. EVANS did not agree with the hon. member for Sheffield that ehe motion was one which ought not to be put. He shoold move the previous question. The house then divided on the previous question. The number' were— For the amendment l3 Against it ll9 Majority against the amendment --101 The original question was therefore not put. THE JOINT STOCK CONIPANIES ACT. Mr. LONE moved that the house go into committee on this bill. Mr. CLAY objected to proceeding with the bill at that late hour of the night (12 o'clock). The house went into committee on the bill, and the various clauses, 31 in number, were agreed to without amendment. SOUND DUES. The Sound Dues Bill was read a second time. COUNTY CESS (IRELAND). This bill passed through committee with several verbal amendments. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned shortly after twelve o'clock. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. DON GIOVANNI. (Prom, the Morning Post ) Last evening Mozart's operatic masterpiece was pro duced at the above theatre with extraordinary splendour, and a cast including all the principal members of Mr. Lumley's company. The ihouse was crowded to the ceiling, and the performance was a perfect triumph from first to last. We will endeavour to describe its merits as far as our limited time and space will permit. It was a great blessing to be relieved in the overture from those additional trombone and ophicleide accompa paninients to which our ears have been used of late years, though by no means reconciled, and Sig. Bonetti deserves the thanks of the musical world for his suppression of these utterly unjustifiable innovations. The well-known grand descending passage for the basses in the allegro, followed, we might in a certain sense say answered, by the light and careless phrases in the first violins, was no longer " bound in brass," nor was, consequently, the succeeding passage rendered almost ridiculous by an ex cess of contrast never dreirot of by any composer. Nei ther was the pure and healthy vigour of the unison violin passages whick follow the leading theme impaired by the brazen bellowing forth of unmeaning chords introduced for no imaginable purpose but that of giving undue and vulgar accent to comparatively insignificant portions of the score. If the musical taste of the public be depraved, such unnatural stimulants are certainly not calculated to improve it. No man could possibly under-tand the ha lance of sound better than Mozart ; and bad trombones been necessary here they were at band, and he would have employed them. In the slow movement, the im portant crescendo and diminuendo requisite to give due effect to those wonderful scale passages on the inverted pedal D, the persistiverepetition of whichthrough all the wild changes of harmony sounds like the relentless voice of fate, were perfectly rendered. So, too, was that mys. terioui but prophetically significant figure for the second violins, where the first violins move above in syncopations. In the allegro motto we were struck by the precision and clearness with which the close imitations in the octave between the stringed and wind instruments were deli vered, no less than by the sweetness and grace which characterised the execution by the latter of the caressing imitative phrases which immsdiately succeed the second subject. Indeed the entire performance of this great com position merits our warmest eulogy. The fine air "Notte e giorno faticar" introduced to our notice Signor Bellett' in his new part of Leporello. We need scarcely say that so accomplished an artist, to whom all styles of music, from Handel to Verdi, are perfectly familiar, gave the true reading of it. There was an air of pompous asur nce and mock dignity about him which showed at once • s ow well he had studied the real meaning of this sone, which, by the way, has been objectel to by certaiu fo reign critics as being too grand for the occasion. We cannot agree with them. Leporello is here assuming greatness ; his ideas are large, and their expression can only become comic through the pecnliaridiosyncracy and manner of the man. Mozart's music fully expresses the Predominant idea of the valet who aspires to be a gentle man, and it is for the executant to give it a characteristic colouring. " Voglio far 11 gentilumne e non voglio piu servir" is the burthen of Leporello'B first air, as he is waiting indignantly about in the dark fur his libertine master, who is " dentro colla bells," and this sentiment should pervade the entire conception, as it does with Signor Belletti. The succeeding prodigiously fine and in. tensely dramatic trio, "Non sperar se non in'uccidi," was sung with extraordinary fire and vigour by the re. presentatives of Don Giovanni and Donna Amu (S:g. Beneventano and IVldlle. Spezia), with Sig. Belletti. There was an incisive kind of accent in the lady's voiee quite appropriate to the situation and strongly marked rhythm of the music. Sig. Beneventano struggled man fully to get away from his furious assailant, at the eau e time judiciou-ly keeping his voice under, and suppressing his rage as much as possible (for Don Giovanni wishes to escape, quietly as he can), whilst the intelligent but un obtrusive acting of Sig. Belletti, as the now terrified Le porello, completed the dramatic picture. The next grand scene, including the fight between Don Giovanni and the Commendatore (Signor Vialetti) and the death of the ,latter, was also done ample justice to by all Patties concerned. The incomparable trio, "Ah soc %Tao," did no t su ff er , as some m i g ht i mag i ne it w ould, m the fact of Belletti's baritone voice being frequently placed underneath the heavy bass of Vialetti, for Lepn. rello's pat; Consisti ng a l mos t w h o lly o f d o tt e d an d de taobed notee—being, in short, variant° nearly through out-7—whilet the Commendatore's notes are faintly gasped forth as by a dying ma*, the difference of vocal timbre was scarcely p erce ptible, and cert a i n ly e xer ci se d no da maging influence. The only part in this requiring deci sion and firmness of t one ie that of the remorseless Dan Giovanni —admirably truthful Mozart !—and as it lies q uite within the compass ei Signor BeOev en t ano ' s fi ne voice, it came out with . the best possible effect. The fifth scene, which comprises the grand accompanied reci tative, "Ma qual ma i,' and the du e t, "F ugg i , cruddele fuggi !" was particula rl y trying to M a dl le. Spezia, as she had here to contend with the perfectly fresh recollecti n of another very great artist in the same character ; but she passed most honourably through the ord ea l. Rarely indeed have the terrors', the despairing grief, the fierce demand for vengeance tif the bereaved and heroic (4110_ ter of the murdered Comxnendatore been more vividly or truthfully e x p r e s sed. Madlle. Spezia wa s admirably supported in the duet by Signor Giuglini as Ottavio, and excepting that the allegro was taken a shade too fast, this performance was irreproachable. The eighth scene introduced Iladlle. Ortolani as Elvira, with the noble air "Ah ! chi ml dice mai," which was sung with extra ordinary energy and accent, and excellentlyaccompsnied. In this scene, too, came the universally-popular "Made mina it catalogo e questo," which was rendered by Sit - nor Belletti with infinite spirit, most truthful expressicn of the words. enl consumMate musical skill. Whethe:. with respect to acting or singing this was rea".6-ii f.,et-utte performance, worthy of the best days of the classic Italian opera. In the ninth scene Madlie. Piccolomini was the centre of attrac tion. As the gifted little artist came tripping upon the stage to the joyous strains of " Giovinette the fate all'amore," the house resounded with enthusiastic applause. Never was there a warmer welcome ; and thus encouraged, the "cara bambina" proceeded to discharge her onerous duties with a sort of anxious confidence, with which the audience appeared to sympathise com pletely. Signor Corsi, too, made his first entree here as Masetto ; and his execution of the delightful, and drama tically important air " Ho Capito," which had hitherto been omitted, displayed his histrionic powers to the best advantage. The rendering of the piece by the band was, for the most part, worthy of unqualified eulogy ; but we must call signor Bonetti's attention to a passage in the bars immediately preceding the words " Cavalier voi siete," where the first violins have the notes G, F sharp, D, but in which the D should have been played an octave higher. The mistake is probably in the score, but itshould be corrected, as it seriously damages the melodic con struction of the passage, and makes it sound almost ugly. Mdlle. Piccolomini's triumphs began with the duet, "La ci darem" (rapturously encored), and terminated only with her part. Never, in our recollection, has the air " Batti, batti," been so intellectually sung. The entire reading of the song was perfectly original, and delightful as it was new. Nothing short of genius of the highest order could have conceived such a novel rendering of an air which is as familiar as household words, and scorned the long established traditions of the stage with such boldness and triumphant success. The " Batti, batti," we need scarcely add, was rapturously re-demanded, and so was likewise Mdlle. Piccolomini's simply beautiful execution of " Vedrai• carino," which, so far as our re collection reaches, has never been surpassed. The very late hour at which the opera terminated precludes the possibility of our now giving the detailed account of the rest of the performance, but we may state generally that Mdlle. Spezia again distinguished herself most honorably in the magnificent recitative " Don Ottavio son morta," and the air "Or sai she l'onore ;" that Mdlle. Ortolani sang the restored air, " Ah fuggi it traditor" as she did the "Mi tradi quell' alma ingrate," most admirably, and was, in short, altogether the very best Elvira we have ever seen on the Anglo-Italian stage ; and that siece the palmy days of Tambarini we have not met with so efficient a representative of Dan Giovanni as Signor Beneventano. Signor Balletti's "Leporello," too, may be classed amongst the best of the best ' • and the music of " Don Ottavio " has rarely been so beautifully sung as it was last night by Signor Giuglini, whose rendering of the restored air, "Dally sun pace," and the universally popular "II mio tesoro," entitles him to the highest eulogy, and would have been " perfect perfection ' but for certain needless and reprehensible changes which he unhappily thought fit to make in the musical text of the latter piece. "II mio tesoro" was, nevertheless, en cored unanimously ' • and, indeed, the compliment, con sidered merely with reference to the beautiful execution of the singer, was fully deserved. The chorus " Viva la liberta,' splendidly sung by all the principal singers, with the choristers of her Majesty's Theatre, was like wise redemanded with acclamation. Signor Vialetti's fine voice and impressive style gave all due effect to the terrible denunciations of Don Giovanni's ghostly visitor in the last scene, and the co-operation of so excellent an artist as Signor Corsi in the small but important part of Masetto contributed largely to the general effect of all the scenes in which be was concerned. The opera is splendidly put upon the stage. All the scenery, dresses, and decorations are entirely new, and by some of the first artists of the day. The ball-room scene surpasses in magnificence anything of the kind we bave ever seen even at her Majesty's Theatre. With a c impliment to Signor Bonetti for the reverential care and musicianly skill with which he conducted this in comparable opera, we must close our present notice. The principal performers were enthusiastically called before the curtain at the termination of each act, and at the end of the opera a general demand was made for Signor Bonetti, who then also appeared. The following list of various casts of "Don Giovanni" will doubtless interest our musical readers : NOMMINMII THE .SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 12, 1857 unfortunately, it should be rejected, it will be almost impossible to obtain respectable and solvent persons, to undertake the respon sible and too frequently thankless office. Indeed, it is only wonderful that parties have hitherto been found willing to do so, considering the mode in which they have been treated by the Court of Chancery. Lord CAMPBELL, during the discussion, emphatically assured his brother Peers that "no such iniquities were perpetrated in the Courts of Common law." We cannot wonder at the earnestness of the Lord Chief Justice of Eng land, in repudiating all connection with such atrocities as those graphically described by Lord ST. LEONARDS, and which clearly proved the im perative necessity of an adequate remedial mea sure. We have long thought, and explained the vast benefits that would be derived from the establishment of an executor and trustee society, where persons of high status and unexceptionable character, would, for a pro per remuneration, undertake the duties of the office. They would be saved from the earnest solicitations of the cestui que trusts, for whose benefit the property was held, and who too fre quently look rather to present income than the permanent security of the investment, and who are disposed to regard a refusal to comply with their requests as a grievous wrong, to be resented in the most stringent manner practicable. It is of course impossible, within the limits of an article, to examine all the Suggestions of Lord ST. LEONARDS. They seem, generally speaking, sell calculated.:to accomplish the - purpose for which they have been' framed, namely, that of affording complete protection to honest trustees. The best test that can be devised is to ascertain whether the party derives, or: can derive, any personal benefit from his management of the funds. If such be the case, he should be held not only civilly but criminally responsible. If not, although he may be punished in pocket for any default (not wilful) by which loss may accrue to the parties beneficially interested, he should not be subjected to vexatious proceedings, too often instituted for the purposes of extortion. The law in this respeot should apply to every person acting in a fiduciary capacity. The rule should be, severe punishment for every fraudulent act, complete exemption for bona fide proceedings intended to beaefitthe parties beneficially interested, and, generally speaking, adopted at their special instance and request. We hope and believe that the two acts now before Parliament, will, with judicious amendment, achieve these desiderata, and, if so, the session of 1857 will not be altoge ther barren of results. But no time can be lost. It would sadly disappoint the country if either of these salutary measures should be included in the annual " massacre of the Innocents," or emascu lated, through undue haste, at the last moment. There is no subject of greater importance to the welfare and security of the nation than the efficient management of its military establish ments. It is not desirable tliat England should maintain a very large body of troops in idleness ,like some continental countries. All that is re quired is, that the nucleus of an efficient army should be kept up with well-trained soldiers and skilful officers, prepared for any emergency that may arise, and ready to impart instruction to the raw recruit, who, in the hour of danger, may be associated with them. The existing system of promotion by purchase is, however, altogether opposed to this principle. Heretofore; - officers would not take the trouble of studying even the mere rudiments of the profes •ion into which they entered, simply because they derived no benefits therefrom, wealth being more regarded than merit ih obtaining the promotion to which all aspire. Henceforward all this erro neous system must be completely altered, and the first step in tho right direction will be the adoption of a sound and judicious system of mili tary education, and conferring the prizes of the service on the deserving, rather than on those pos sessed of money, or having influential friends or relatives. We are rejoiced to find that the veteran Mem ber for Westminster has taken up the important *subject in a proper spirit. He has given notice of motion for the 30th inst., on which day he will propose the following resolutions 1. That as the numerical strength of the British army available for European war is far less than that of any other great power, and as our government have for many years neglected the education of the commissioned ranks of the service, while other governments have been devo t ing to this object large annual sums and very great attention, it is the opinion of this house, that a higher standard of professional instruction than of late deemed requisite ought to be established for our officers generally, but especially for those of the staff. "2. That this cannot be effectively accomplished in this country, where powerful influences obstruct the best intentions of those invested with patronage, without having recourse to the principle of competitive exarni ! nation, in conformity with the rec o m men d a tio n ‘ o f her Majesty ' s se Education, r ecor d e d i n th e i r reports recent l y is 3. Th a t the c an did ates nom i nated by the com mander-in-chief mente nta Commissioners on Ci v il an d Mili tary appoint presented ta Parliam en t. for commissions in the line, be therefore subject to the condition of competitive examination pre viously to their being appointed to commissions, and that officers of a sufficient term of regimental service, de sirous of qualifying themselves for the staff, in the senior department of instruction or staff school, should rece'.ve their admissions and final certificates on the same prin ciple. " 4. That commissioners, consisting of an equal num ber of military officers and civilians, should be nominated by the Secretary of State for the purpose of superintend ing these examinations, and that the educational esta blishments for the line and staff be under the direction of the Secretary of State, who is responsible to Parliament for the administration of the army, and who is already charged with the control of the existing schools and exa minations for the artillery,,engineers, and the non-com missioned officers.and privates of the army." Alf must concur in the titith - arid justice of the first proposition " that a higher standard of pro fessional instruction than of late deemed requisite, ought to be established for our officers generally, but especially for those of the staff." An English force should never again, by any possibility, be liable to the reproach, that it is "an army of lions, led by donkeys." We have had too much of " playing at Soldiers." Those who profess to be animated by military ardour should devote their time to the attainment of the qualifications befitting a good officer. It is not as "lady killers" that they are required. Something more is wanting than to strut about in fine clothes, to vote the service "a bore," and talk of their intention of "selling out" at any trivial annoy ance to which they may be subjected. A man must study hard for other professions : why should the military one be the solo exception to the general rule ? There has already been un questionably a great improvement. We no longer meet young men like the model Ensign of the olden time boasting of their ignorance, and de claring that-- By G— I don't value them this pinch o f snuff . " "Your Noveds, and Ocaers, and Blutarchs are stuff ; They must now have some e ducation—must not breakPuiscuot'shead," or evince a profound dis regard of the rules of orthography; nay; more, they must have some knowledge of a language beside their mother tongue, and be capable of working an ordinary sum in arithmetic. But these aie by no means enough ; and there is nothing to ensure any amount of study after the first step has been achieved—the commission, as cornet or ensign, duly signed. The remaining resolutions apply to the mode in which this improved education is to be tested, hood, chicanery, perjury, forgery, are the weapons, ~f r3nsive and defensive, of the people of the Lower Gauges." And this is the race we are now about to endea vour at last to rule justly ! It will be an effort of extraordinary difficulty without doubt. But, Courage !—we may trust all to the goodness of the Cause and the genius of the Constitution. " THE OLD, OLD STORY." Summer moonbeams softly playing, Fight the woods of Castle Keep ; And there I see a maiden straying, Where the darkest shadows creep. She is listening—meekly, purely, To the wooer at her side ; 'Tis the " old, old story," surely, Running on like time and tide. Maiden fair, oh ! have a care ; Vows are many—truth is rare. He is courtly, she is simple ; Lordly doublet speaks his lot; She is wearing hood and 'wimple— His the castle, hers the cot. Sweeter far she deems his whisper Than the night-bird's dulcet trill ; She is smiling—he beguiling— 'Tis the "old, old story" still. Maiden fair, oh ! have a care ; Vows are many—truth is rare. The autumn sun is quickly going Behind the woods of Castle Keep : The air is chill—the night wind blowing, Arid there I see a maiden weep. Her cheeks are white—her brow is aching— The " old, old story", sad and brief ; Of heart betrayed, and left, nigh breaking, ' In mute despair and lonely grief. Itaidens lair, oh I have a care ; Vows are many—truth is rare. CORUP CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, Thursday.—The Queen went to-day to honour the Ascot Races with her presence. Her Majesty and the royal party left the Castle at half•past 12 o'clock in eleven open carriages and four, with numerous out r►ders in scarlet liveries. lier Majesty and Prince Albert were accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince Frederic William of Prussia, and a number of other distinguished personages. Prince Albert, Prince Frederic William of Prussia, the Prince of Leiningen, and the gentlemen of the royal household, appeared in the Windsor uniform. Viscount Palmerston rode on horseback from the Castle to the racecourse. The Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, and the Master of the Household, preceded her Majesty to the royal stand. Her Majesty returned to the Castle at 20 minutes past six o'clock. The Queen gave a grand dinner to a party of between seventy and eighty, in St. George's Hall. The banquet was served on the service of gold plate, and the table was brilliantly lit by numerous candelabra of silver gilt filled with wax lights, the magnificent St. Geoige candelabrum forming the centre ornament of the plateau, and being placed opposite to her Majesty's seat. Buffets were erected at each end of the hall, on which were displayed a variety of the most beautiful and valuable shields, salvers, statuettes, tankards, and cups of the royal collection, illuminated by wax lights in golden sconces.

This is the intention of the measure which was last night submitted to the Peers by Lord ST. LEONA.RDS. It may, indeed, be regarded as a necessary complement and corol lary, to the bill.now before the Coranons. If, and this is by the adoption of the principle so strongly recommended by " Her Majesty's Com missioners on Civil and Military Appointments and Education," viz., "by competitive examina tion." This may not prove the only criterion, inasmuch as an admirable soldier in the field may be a very dunce at learning ; but still it is the best, almost the only one, that can be devised during the piping times of peace. There may be certain exceptions allowed, but, as a general principle, competitive examinations should be adopted, and the reasons for any departure therefrom accu rately detailed and strictly scrutinised. Under any circumstances great benefits will be derived from the discussion of the interesting subject, which will, we hope, eventually lead to a vast improvement in the military system, and that on which its efficiency mainly depends— promotion, by merit, not by purchase, and ample security that every commissioned, aye, and non commissioned officer, shall be fully qualified for the discharge of the duties that may devolve on him in consequence of the position in which ho has been placed through the favour of his superiors. Notwithstanding the apparently wonderful dif ferences of opinion expressed last evening in the House of Commons during the " Bengal. Debate" —everybody in reality was more or less agreed as to the gist or gravamen of the motion intro duced yesterday by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Perth. That motion intimated, in plain terms, a fact altogether, we tike it, unde niable—the fact that the lower province of Ben gal does admit of changes being advantageously introduced into its present system of adminis tration. That, in other words, the present sys tem of administration in that lower province of Bengal does not secure the population the blessings of good government. But that, on the contrary, the bulk of that population suffers grievous oppres sion from the Police, and groans under the obvious want of—Justice properly administered I Scarcely anyone can venture seriously to deny the accuracy , of these melancholy statements. The Noble Lord the Member for the City of London, who took a prominent part in last evening's discussion, so far from gainsaying the truth of the assertions thus brought under the immediate consideration of Parliament, virtually endorsed those assertions by his own authoritative recognition of the grievances existing in the province of Bengal—grievances, according to Lord JOHN, requiring immediate correction. The fact that it is so, we repeat, is altogether unde niable. Many of those grievances are noto rious. Bengal has not the advantages of good government. The Police do occasionally subject the mass of the people to grievous oppression. The " administration of justice" (so called) among the unfortunate Bengalese is an odious caricature of the'phrase thus applied to it. The Ryots in that lower province of Bengal are for the most part continually ground under the heel of the domineering Zemindars. Those Zemindars have their own courts, their own prisons, and it is believed, and we conceive not erroneously believed, their own system of tortures likewise— courts, prisons, tortures, applied by them with devilish ingenuity for the extortion of fresh taxes from the wretched Ryots under their domi nation. The latter being as utterly without a chance of redress, as they are obviously without protection. Nevertheless, while everybody, or nearly every body who took part in last evening's debate in the House of Commons, admitted, with scarcely a show of even momentary hesitation, the general veracity of the accotint given by the hon. member for Perth, at the commeucement of the discussion —the " previous question " was moved (and therefore, of course, the particular motion of Mr. KINNA.IRD virtually rejected) by 119 opposed to 18, or, in other words, by a clear majority of 101 in a House of 137. Why this discrepancy ? Not because the House, for an instant, denied the fact, that Bengal, as at present governed, is mis governed. Not that the majority refused to open their eyes to the truth that the Ryots are atroci ously domineered over by the Zemindars. No thing of the kind. Even the Right non. Gen tleman, the President of the Board of Control ad mitted the reasonableness of the statements advanced by the member for Perth—when announcing on the part of his colleagues that measures are in contempla tion to improve the administration of justice (in Bengal), and to render the police system (in Bengal) more effective. The deduction from which candid acknowledgment is, of course, suffi ciently obvious at a glance. For why contem plate measures to improve, supposing there were no cause for those measures, and no room for that improvement ? Subsequently one of the mag nates of Leadenhall-street, took occasion, late in the discussion, to assure the House that no effort on the part of the East India Company should be wanting to give to India the beat administration of justice and the best system of police that could be wished by the truest friends of the population. Observe the words we have italicised—" to give" —a distinct admission that these boons are not already in the possession of the Bengalese. The fact—again and again we repeat it, we cannot tire of repeating it—is unde niable. It is historical. It is admitted on all hands. It was admitted yesterday successively by Mr. VERNON SMITH, speaking for the Government— by Lord J. RUSSELL, speaking for the great mass of Liberals in the Lower . Branch of the Legisla ture—by Mr. MANGLES, speaking on behalf of the East India Directory ! We reiterate the assertion—it is incontrovertible. Yet the motion, or rather the resolutions of the Honourable Mem ber for Perth " fell through" yesterday, in spite of all this unanimity! And, why ? Simply be cause Mr. KINNAIRD'S resolutions were founded upon the petition of certain humane Missionaries ! Rejected, however, though those resolutions were thus inconsistently last evening, they have been so far effectual : that—they have ventilated the whole question in the Legislature, while they have extorted promises of amendment at once from the East India Directory, and from Her MAJESTY'S Government. . • How difficult is the task of improvement now to be undertaken by the united agency of the Board of Directors and of the Councils of the Imperial Government —those may best appreciate, who will scrutinise for a while this strange race of the Ben galese, as seen in the stereoscopic glimpse of them afforded by the vigilant genius of Mr. MAOAULAY. Thus has our great Historian written in that Essay of his upon " Warren Hastings," which we are still disposed to regard as his masterpiece : "The physical organisation of the Bengalee is feeble even to effeminacy. He lives in a constant vapour bath. His pursuits are sedentary, his limbs delicate, his move ments languid. During many years he has been tram pled upon by men of bolder and more hardy breeds. Courage, independence, veracity, are qualities to which his constitution and his situation are equally unfavour able. His mind bears, a singular analogy to his body. It is weak even to helplessness for purposes of manly resistance ,• but its suppleness and its tact move the children of sterner climates to admiration not unmingled with c)ntempt. All those arts which are the natural defence of the weak are more familiar to this subtle race than to the lonian of the time of Jtivenal, or to the Jew of the dark ages. What the horns are to the buffalo, what the paws are to the tiger, whit the sting is to the bee, what beauty, according to the Greek song, is to woman, deceit is to the Bengalee. Large promises, smooth excuses, elaborate tissues of circumstantial false . DEATH OF DOUGLAS JERROLD. At mid-day on Monday last, Douglas Jerrold passed away into the silent land of Death. His illness was only of a few days' duration. Long existing disease of the aortic valves had rendered him peculiarly susceptible to unhealthy influences ; and pulmonary and renal congestion, terminating in ischuria renalis, ended his earthly career. He died at his residence at Kilburn, in his fifty-fifth year, leaving vacant a place in literature that no one living is competent to fill, and which he had attained by his unaided exertions and the greatness of his 'own genius. For he was " of an excellent And unmatched wit and judgment," using the words in their fullest meaning, as they are coutrastedly defined by Locke. His was none of what Bet, Johnson (whose writings he dearly loved) styles the "frippery of wit." How the sparkling repartee—tere et rotundunt—was wont to flash from his lip with the rapidity of thought will long be remembered by that circle of friends to whom his loss is irreparable. He had a strong bias, it is true ; but it was a noble one. He loved to defend the cause of the poor and oppressed, and, if need were, to attack with the whole force of his crushing satire the aggressor. In the newpaper edited by him, and wherein his writings were weekly read by hundreds of thousands of readers, he always steadily advocated sanitary improvements as a right due to the poor. By those most intimate with him, even his ueboundiug genius—all that is known of him to the world—is half forgotten, in grief at the loss of that noble kindly heart and gentle sympathising spirit which endeared him to all who knew him, or who had ever sought his counsel and aid iu the hour of tribulation. —The Lancet. DOUGLAS JERROLD.—The funeral of the late Douglas Jerrold will take place on Monday next, the 15th, at Norwood Cemetery. It will, we understand, be strictly private. The friends will meet at the Cemetery at half- past one. M. Isturitz, Spanish ambassador at the court of Rus sia, bas arrived in Paris, where he intends remaining a fertnight. The Mexican papers announce the deatb, at the age of 30, of Felipe Iturbide, son of the last Emperor of Mexico, who was dethroned by the revolution. The amount of June Exchequer-biPs sent in on Mon day for which money has been demanded is believed not to exceed 300,000/. A further sum of about 50,0001. out of the late arri vals of Australian goli was sold to the Bank yebterd,y, and an additional amount may possibly be taken there to-day. Sad accounts have been received in Paris of the heal h of Mdlle. Rachel. The great tragedian is at present at Montpelier; her physicians, it is said, entertain no hopes of her recovery. In, consequence of the opening of the Macon and Culoz railway section, the journey from Paris to Turin can now be performed in 31 hours. THE ART TREASURES EXHIBITION.—The admissions crn Wednesday were 1,379 by sea-on tickets, and 5,894 by ls. payment.—Total, 7,271. Of this number 2,284 arrived by railway. We are inf anned that there is not the slightest truth in the paragraph, which appeared in yesterday's papers, stating a mau named Gregory, for whose appearance a reward had been offered, had carried off 2,0001. of the money raised for the erection of Mr. Spurgeon's new tabernacle. Accurdieg to the latest report from the Great Salt Lake the schism in the Mormon church assumed a for- midable character.

' CHURCH RATES.—A return moved for by Sir G. Grey shows that the total amounts received from church rates and other sources in England and Wales amounted in 1854 to 484,8541., against 506,812/. in 1839, and 663,7951 in 1832. The receipts from church rates alone were 314,659/. in 1854, 363,103/. in 1839, and 446,4951. in 1832. The total amount expended by church wardens in 1854 was 464,553/., against 645,8491. in 1832, and 480,6621. in 1839 ; and the debts secured on church rates amounted in 1854 to 318,2001., and in 1830 to 535,236/. HERR OBERTEUR'S CONCERT.—A fashionably attended morning concert took place yesterday at Willis's Rooms, given by Herr Charles Oberthur, the distinguished harpist. The masterly and brilliant performance of the beneficiare in several pieces commanded the warmest applause, and was enhanced by the powerful assistance of Giulio Regondi on the concertina, Signor Andrcoli on, the pianoforte, M. Pique on the violoncello, and Herr Eng e l on the piano-harmonium. The cavatina, " Robert toi quo j'aiine" (Meyerbeer), sung by Miss Stabbach, with harp obbligato by Herr Oberthur, elicited high approbation. The vocal portion of the enterta n• went likewise embraced several songs, mostly German, admirably execu t e d by M a dlt e . Wagner and Madllo. Sedlatzek. The conductors were Herren W. Ganz and Pirsoher. PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS IN MELBOURNE.—Mr. G. V. Brooke, having terminated his engagement at Sydney, has returned to this city, and intends playing a farewell round of characters at the Theatre Royal prior to t.king his departure for England, whither he proceeds, accom panitA by Mr. C.ippin, in June next.
