Thq paramount object of" The Statesman" will he to promote the interest of the entire nation, irrespective of party or personal consi derations. In Home Politics "The Statesman" will support those principles of our constitution which have been established by the will and reason of the English people, and will urge he extension of political power in correspondence with the increasing intelligence of the community. In accordance with these principle 4," The States man" will seek to correct the abuses and amend the defects of the representative system; it will support all measures for completing the great work of commercial reform; it will aid in devel pb g the municipal power of local bodies, with a view to a more faithful and vigilant administration of local affairs, and a More prompt execution of the measures required for promoting health and general well being. The subject of Education is one which now occupies the most anxious thoughts of all earnest thinkers. .• The Statesman" will endeavour to obtain the cordial co-operation of all thwe practical reformers to whom the public good is the supreme consideration. In pursuing this object, it will not confine itself merely to a discus sion of the various schemes which have been proposed for the educa tion of the labouring classes. The worst evils under which the nation is new suffering, spring mainly from the want of such a system of education among the middle and higher classes as would teach them to be more earnest in the fultllment of their duties. Without a reform in that direction we cannot expect much improve ment in the government of the nation from any system c f education for the poorer class. The principles of our own Constitution will be the guide in Foreign Policy, with a view to render it just, bold, a ,, d uncernpromisi.g. " The Statesman" will act wilh those politicians who seek to aid and animate the Government in giving its cordial co-operation to foreign states strugoling to develope a freedom cognate with our own —a policy of alliance with constitutional governmen's forming the only true and practical counteracting farce to the dynastic combina tions now threatened in Europe As regards India, wide diversities of opinion prevail. "The Statesman" will endeavour to show that the time has come for organizing the Government of that vast empire in a manner alike consistent with the dictates of Christianity, the welfare of India, and the true interests of Great Britain. Party Politicians and Anti- National Journalists may try to show that, is India, these objects are irreconciieable. "The Statesman" will seek to unite those patriots who believe that the national conscience,and an enlightened regard for the national weal, equally demand that our Eastern Emp're shall no longer be governed by the shortsighted policy of Leadenhall-street. The starting events of the last few years, no less than the preent aspect of affairs, have taught politicians that the efficiency of the army is one of the first elements of national independence and na tional strength. "The Statesman' will give its hearty support to the various measures required to make the army, in the largest sense of the wcrd, efficient, and accessible to all ranks of her Ma jesty's subjects. In the Literary portion of the paper the main object will be to give the readers of " The Statesman" full and accurate Information as to what is going forward in the various departments of the Book world.

FOUNDERING OF A LONDON AND BREMEN STEAMER. The foundering of the Butjadingen, London and Bremen steamer, in the North Sea, during the late heavy weather, was announced yesterday at Lloyds. Happily the whole of her passengers and crew were saved. Tbey were landed at Margate on Tuesday. The steamer left Bremen on Wednesday, with 250 head of cattle on board. She was pursuing her usual course from Texel across the North Sea, to make the English lend somewhere near Lowestoft, when she encountered the fearful weather of Thurs day night, the wind blowing heavy from S.S.E A tremendous sea struck her stern, carrying away her rudder and sternpost, and causing her to leak considerably. Every effort was made to reduce the leak and repair the injury, but the gale continuing, all their ex er ti ons p rov ed f ru itl e ss. Throughout the whole of the night and following day Captain Wieriekv, the commander, and his crew kept to their lost, in the the hope of saving the ship. The water, lengthhowever, kept increasing, and their position at eght, ca in ai and, w became most critical. A sail had not come rl the heavy se a th a t w a s r unn i ng , there wa s not muchi wor pr obability of the boats living long in it if th ey lowered. On Friday eveni n g the water had gained so the upon her that it w a s up to the cattle between he d deeks. At l eng th th e son signals which they kept i sending up were observed by a Norwegian schooner, who eye up for the sinking steamer. The crew were bore up hailed to c ome off. Unfortunately one of her swa mped and another stove, so that th ere was boats gotly one available to take those on board t o schooner. The nine passengers --amongst theme were two women and two childrc-n—were first got off ; ani after several passages of the boat the whole of the crew were conveyed to the schooner. The Butjadingen must have foudered sho afterwards. She was a powerful three-masted iron screw steamer, and was built at Shields three years since. In addition to the 250 cattle she had on board, she had a quantity o f merchandise. The loss of the ship and cargo will amount to several be insured. thousand pounds.

IiOLLOWAY Prieseee. This building is, of course, unproduetive of revenue. The principal and interest is, and must remain, a dead weight upon oar corporate resources, no provision having have been by way of siukieg feud for its liquidation. Ninety-two thousand pounds (besides the value of the site, which is not included in this sum), appears to be a very large amount as the cost of a house of correction for the receptiou of 400 pi isoners. It should, however, be remembered that at the time this building was erected, the Secretary of State reqnired all priQons to be built npou the plan of the Model Prison at Pentonville ; and, although the Government has since that period adopted for its own purposes a cheaper system both of prison construction nod management, yet at that time the In spector-General of Prisons, acting under the authority of the Secretary of State, was invested by law with the power to prescribe and enforce this expeesive form of construction, which the Corporation was obliged to* adopt. Alter these explanatio ne , it is not too much to say that the money thus expended has provided for the service of the City one of the finest and best-arranged prisons upon the separate System that has ever been produced. 2, THE IICTROPOLITAN CAME MARKET. The new market, which forme the other 'ergo item in this class of expenditure was, it should be likewise ob.;erved, undertaken at the wish of her Majesty's Government, as part of an arraegement connected with other important matters affswing the interest of the Corporation ; and, at the instance of the Secretary of State, an additional qutantity of laud was purchased to enlarge the site. Parliament has just passed an act authorising an increase of the toile, and empowering the Curporatioe to let upon long leases the surplus land, which experience proves is not actually required for mar ket purposes. It mast he seintitted: that the Corporation has, from its resources, eseected'a cattle market for the P which in poi n t o f s i ze , co veunbileie beauty, mo nc a e c , c a o to m d dlto in w no ithi il similar establishment in the world can be compared. It is to be hoped that iu the course of time the Corporation, under the provisions of tho new act, will be able so derive an improved revenue from the market, to relieve the Corporation from some portion of the debt aid the interest which at present pressed heavily upon its income. The property of the Corp )ration upon which the 535,7e0/ , the total of the foregoi ng b on d s 1 an d 2 may lee said to be secured, consists of f ree h o ld an d l ease h o ld s lands and houses, producing a gross annual rental ex ceeding 100,0001., in addition to which the surplus-saving of the Finsbury rental before referred to is available for investment in land or hou,fes. 3. PERMANENT STREET IMPROVICAIENT FUND. The Corporation has borrowed during the lastseven years 510,000/, for constructing New Cannon.street, and effecting other street improvements around the Royal Exchange and in other parts of the city. The money was borrowed on the corporation bonds, under the authority of Parliament, and the payment of the principal and annual interest (20,3001) is secured by Acts of Common Council upon the City's 41. duty on coals, to which the corporation is entitled in perpetuity, and which fund is an increasing one, and yielded in the year 1856 a net revenue of about 60,000/. 4. TIIAMIOS NAVIGATION BONDS. Many years sinew, the Corporation borrowed, under the directions of several act* of Parliament, various large s.uins of money, secured by its corporate seal on the toils of the Thome.; navigation above London-bridge. Oa the 31st Dec., 1853, the aunt of 130,9001. was out standing upon these bonds, bearing an annual interest of 4,5811. 10e. Of late years the charges upon this fund have considerably exceeded its annual revenue, and the deficiency, avzreging between 2,0001. and 3,0001. a year, has been advanced by the Corpora tion. During the last ten years the total sum thus ad vanced by the Corporatio n has amounted to 34,5811. 101. As conservators of the river, the Corporation, un der the Acts of Parliament, likewise administered the affairs of the river Thatnes below London-bridge and in that capacity possessed a consithrable surplus fund, which, however, was not available to supply the defici encies of the upper districts, although the interests of the river above and below London-bridge were so inti mately connected that any injury. which might be suf fered by one would necessarily be felt by the other. This defect iu the Thames Navigation and Port of London Acts has now been rectified by the legislature. The ant passed during the last session amalgamates the two funds; and transfers them, with other newly-created sources of revenu e , t o the new Conservancy Commission. By this means th e C orporation will b e e ff ec t ua lly re leved from all,respothibility in r igpect of the sums bor rowed for the purp oses on the credit o f i ts cor p ora te seal. BLA.OXPB-I-AB—S--3-RIDGE BONDS. - In 1833, when the dange rous state of Blackfriars bridge rendered a considerable outlay necesgary for its restoration, the CA. poratiou wag empowered by Act of Parliament to borro w th e r,quisite funds for the purpose upon the credit of the Bridg,-house estates. That fund was far more than sufhcient to secure the repayment of the sum required, but as it stood nt that time charged with the payment to the Lords Commissioners of ber Majesty's Treasury of certain annuities, terminating be tween the years 1867 and 1871, the Carp iration was obliged to guarantee, the principal and interest, in ease of need, by pledging the credit of its seal for the amount ci the required loan. We find that the amounts of these bonds outstanding on the 3141 Deo., 1856, was 73,1001., bearing an annual interest of 2,967/. 10s. We likewise find that the present net annual pcoduoe of the Bridge-house estates is 27,000/. the annuities which will terminate in 1871 amount to 21,5501. The rental of the Bridge-hones estates, princi pally situated in the City and suburbs, is largely in creasing in value, and there is no doubt but that both the interest and principal of the money borrowed on the City seal will be duly met, without calling upon the Corporation. 6. BOTA.L RICHANGS BONDS. Upon the destructon of the Royal Exchange by fire in 1837, the Corporation borrowed 85,000/. upen its seal toward , defraying a moiety of the costs of its reconstruc tion. This bum is fain outstanding. The annual interest amounting to 2,965/„ is charged, as well as the principal money, en the rente and revenues of the Royal Ex change. Iu some years the annual income hag not been quite sufficient to meet the charge, and the Corporation has supplied the deficiency by a loan to the fund. The present a nnual rental amounts to 5,785/., and exceeds the expenditure, including the interest en the bends. Property iu general i❑ the City is increasing in value. It appears to us that this property is sufficient to meet both the principal and iatereet of this debt, so as t relieve the Corporation frein any responsibilities on this account. 7.

We find also that the committee entered into a contract for the sale of surplus land under the Clerkenwell Im provement Act, for the purpose of the metropolitan rail way, but in consequence, as it is alleged, of the depressed state of the money-market, the terms of the contract have not been fulfilled, and proceedings at law are now pen& ing. We are, however I advised by th e City' s architect that we need not be apprehensive of the City being uLi mately called upon to make good any deficiency in re spect of this clams of bonds, as 'the unsold gr.)und and houses i n the possession of the corporation i❑ Cannon mtreet, Victoria-street, and the aoj.)ining site of the ClerkenwEll improvements, will, in the aggregate, realise sufficient to liquidate the bonds. O. SIMPLE CONTRACT DEBTS. We find that, on Dec. 31, 18511, the corporation owed fioating debts to the amount of 53,5731., incleding in this sum the estimated cost of works in hand. We flail, per contra, t:,at to meet this demand the corporation pos sessed cash balances in the hands of the Chamberlain, dividends on stock, arrears of rents, and oth(r sums av:ilalle to meet present demands, amounting to 113,427/. In clear:fusion, we wonld observe that, by dividing the items n the tab'e i into two clasfps, we doeire to rl cit views of the court, rather than express our own, as to either th.,ir character and amount. Having regard to the origin and source of our corporate revenues, it is im p-a ibis to -.ay that the cost of enlerging, or reimildirg our prisons and markets, or of wid‘tniog and ituproy:ng our streets, to meet the increasing wants of our increas ing population, ought not to form items in our ordinary creprate expenditure, if kept within the limits which the exercise of a sound discretion would impose We are not chsrgel aWI the duty of expreceing as opinion whe ther an expenditure of 915 9891. in excess of our income daring the last tea years is or ie notjustified by the air cumstances that led to such an unusually large outlay ; we therefore, make no c iminent. We beg„ however, to suggest, that if hereafter any such considerable - sums of money are authorised to be raised for public works, some provision should be made, either out of the revenue which it is expected to yield, or out of the gene ral income of the Corporation, by way of a sinking feria e to liquidate the charge in the course of years, in order that our successors may possess the .same opportunities we have had of effecting such useful public improve ments as the wants of succeeding generations may re quire. We take leave further to suggest that it will be expe dient, periodically, to lay before the Common Council in some agreed form, a full statement of the entire income and expenditure of the Corporation, year by year, with an account of the debts from time to time raised and dis charged, whether under the denorninati ,, n of City's cash, or in respect of any other funds which it administers. We think it would be likewise expedient to have some fixed day annually set apart for the discussion of the general financial affairs of the Corporation in the Court of Common Council, upon which occasion arrangements 'ally be made for fixing the expenditure during the ensuing financial year, by which means a duo re lation between its income and expenditure may be established. It likewise appears to your committee to be a matter of importance that arrangements should be adopted, as early as possible, to reduce the temporary loans of the Corporation secured on outstand ing bonds. We atstain from pointing specifically to any particular measure whereby, in our opinion, the income of the Cor poration may be increased, its depte diminished, or its expenditure reduced, without impairing the efficiency of our corporate administration, these objects being beyond the scope of our referenee ; but if it should be the plea sure of your Hon. Court to give us directions to that effect before we surrender our appointment into your hands, we shall endeavour faithfully to execute your instructions. All which we submit to the judgment of this Hon. Court. Dated this 24th of September, 1857. T. H. FRY, EDWARD lIIRRISON, H. LOWMAN TAYLOR, THOMAS DAKIN, JONATHAN THORP, R. C. BUCKNALL, ORO. C. GRAVES, BENJN. BOWER. It is expected that at the next Court a sharp discus sion will take place upon the conduct of the members of the Corporation who sanctioned a course of extrava once, by which the expenditure exceeded the receipt. to the enormous amount of 90,0001. a par for the last ten years. THE BISHOP OF OXFORD AND MR. GLAD STONE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS. ASSEMBLED We, the undersigned, of your speeial Revenue Com mittee, to whom, by resolution of your honourable Court, of the 21-t day of May last, it was referred " to examine into the amount and particulars of the revenue, the ex peediture, and liabilities of the various funds and estates of tke Corporation. for the purpose of considering and reporting to the Court whether some more economi cal mode of meeting its obligations may not be adopted, instead of effecting temporary loans at the high rate of interest which the existing state of the money-market re quires fur all neceesary advances for short periods," do cer tify that immediately after appointment we met to con eider the matters referred to us, and were furnished by Mr. Chamberlain, and the other officers of the Corpora tion, with such information as wo required from their various departments, from which we were speedily enabled, by our reports of the 25th and the 27th of June last, to answer that part of the reference which related to the best mode of dealing with the outstanding tempo. racy loans that had been raised by the Corporation. If the solo object of your honourable Court in ap pointing your committee had been that which is ex pressed in the furegoiog r eference, we should have con sider etl our labours had ended with the adoption of our last report ; but it will be remembered that although the reference grew out of a report from the - Improvement Committee, respecting the raising of money, and was moved without notice, yet the Court was pleased to suspend its standing orders to permit the appointment of a Special Revenue Committee with larger functions, upon the express understanding that full information would be furnished to the Court as to the financial state of the corporation, in conformity with a notice of motion that had been placed on the paper of business by an henourable member, who was by a special resolution of the Court added to the committee to assist in conduct ing the investigation. In order that we might give full effect to the inten tions and objects of your honourable Court in our up p , intment, we directed the several officers of the Corpo ration to lay before us all the accounts specified both in the order of refereace and the notice of motion, together with such other documents as we thought necessary ; and, after maturely considering; the same, we take leave to report the following results : The first document submitted to our consideration is a statement, prepared by Mr. Payne, the principal clerk to Mr. Coamberlaiu, " showing the revenue and expen diture of the City's estate, for the year ending the 31st Dec., 1856, and distinguishing the ordinary from the ex traordinary items both of expenditure and receipts." By this statement, which we have annexed, it appears that the total receipts of the corporation during the year 1856 amounted to 254,7411., whereof 227,1251. is classed by Mr. Payne as ordinary, and 27,616/. as extraordinary receipts, while 215,944/, is given as the amount of its ordinary, and 46,391/. is stated to be its extraordinary expenditure during the year ; thus it should seem that, although during the year there was a surplus of 11,1811. of ordinary revenue over the ordinary expenditure of the corporation, yet there was an Excess of 18,774/. in the extraordinary expenditure over the extraordinary reve nue, leaving upon the entire year's account a general de ficiency of 7,5931. It is obvious that a statement of this description for the year 1856, or any other single year must necessarily cm tain some items on both sides of the account peculiar to that particular year, which may render it quite unsuit able as a guide in making regulations fur leture years. We reque,ted Mr. Chamberlain to lay before us in a tabulated form a summary of receipts and payments of what is termed the City's cash, for ten years, from 1841 to 1856 (both inclusive), to be extracted from the printed statements of the produce and expenditure of the Ci.y'e estate, which by the 20th standing order are annually laid before the Common Council and circulated amongst ;ts members. In this tabulated statement the several items of orsinary and extraordinary receipt and expen diture are likewise separated and placed in juxtaposi tion in each year, as in the first account. Thu total receipts and payments of each of the ten years will be found added up at the foot of each yearly column. The sum of the several items for the whole ten years is given in the two right-hand columns of the tabulated account, and will show the total amount of the City's receipts and expenditure, both ordinary and extraordinary during the whole period. As the account extends over tee years, the yearly average of each respective item, as well as of their aggregate amount, will of course be obtained by striking otf the right-hand figure from the total amount of pounds in the two right• hand columns of the account. We have annexed a copy of the tabulated statement to this report, from which every member of the Court will be able, at one glance, not only to ascertain the aggregate and average amount of every particular branch of revenue and expenditure during the whole period embraced in the table, but he may compare and contrast the amount of each particular branch in any year with the corresponding branch in every other year. In case any further explanation shall be required, it can be readily obtained by referring to the printed annual etatements, which contain, in detail, the items from which the abstract ia taken. We have likewise bad prepared a synopsis of the tabulated statement omitting the detaiied items, and showing only the totals of the several years. A copy of the synopsis we likewise aanex to this report. From these tables it appears that, during the 10 years, to which they relate, the receipts amounted to 2, 595,2161., whereof 2,007,1.42/. is classed as ordinary, and 587,7731. as extraordinary receipts. Per Conira, it appears that during the same period the corporation has expended 2,578,9281., whereof 1,780,111/. is given as ordinary, eel 798,8171. as extraordinary expenditure. The difference between 2,595,2161., the total amount of the receipts, and 2,578,9281., the total amount of payments, namely, 16,288/., represents the excess of receipts over payments during the 10 years. This sum agrees with the cash ba- lance in the hands of the Chamberlain at the end of that period, which exceeded by that amount the cash balance in hii bands at its commencement. It iikewise appears by these accounts that during these 10 years the corporation has paid of 30,4001. (exclusive of interest, amounting to 4,2901. 31. Bd.), which it had previously borrowed on bonds to purchase prop.rty for the formation of Victoria-street leading to Clerkenwell. It has likewise laid by 113,0231. out of the surplus ren tal of Finsbury estate, which is annually set aside by act of Common Council, for investment in funded, freehold, or leasehold property, to replace the loss of income the corporation would otherwis e suffer by the falling in of the Finsbury lease in 1867. This sum has been from time to time invested in Government securities, out of which the sum of 29,5121. 10s. has since been applied to the purchase of ground in Victoria-street, by authority of the Common Council. These sums of 30,4001. and 113,0231. will be found amongst the payments in the tabulated account, and, together with the 16,2881. cash balance above referred to, constitute a total of 159,7111. to the credit side in the City's account. Oo tlso other hand, amongst the extraordinary receipts in the tabulated accounts, will be foetid 92,7001., the amount of monies borrowed to provide for the construc tion of Holloway Prison, and 43,0001. raised for pur chasiug the site and building the Metropolitan Cattle Market. These several sums are still outstanding upon bonds of the Corporation, and the principal and interest are charged upon its estates and revenues. In determin ing what has been the actual expenditure of the Cor poration during the ten years, it will be necessary to treat the total of these two same (535,7001.) as so much money actually sunk ; and if from this sum we deduct the 159,7111., we shall have a sum of 375,9891„ which shows the excess of our corporate expenditure over its iucomo daring the ten years, on account of what is termed the City's cash. But, in determining the actual excels of our corporate expenditure over its income, this 375,989/. must be increased by 540,0001., the amount raised upon bond forthe formation ofNew Cannon-street. The principal of this sum has been charged upon the 4 1. coal dues, which is the property of the Corporation, and the interest of the loan is provided out of its annual in- come. As the whole of this 540,0001. has been borrowed and expended during the ten years, and is still an outstand ing debt, and does not yield any return, it is impossible to do otherwise than treat it as part of our corporate ex• penditure during that period, although it is not to be found either in the autumnal accounts of the City's cash, or in the tabular statements taken from them. We have . therefore added it to the foregoing sum of 375,9391., and have to report to your honourable Court that the expenditure of the Corporation during the ten years from Ist Jan., 1847, to 31st Dec., 1856, has exceeded its income by the sum of 915,9891. The sum of 20,0)01 per annum, which appears in the annual accounts of the City's cab, as a gran - t by the Common Council for pub lic-improvements within the City, is applied in part pay ment of interest upon this loan of 540,000/. According to the ancient practice observed i❑ keeping the accounts in the chamberlain's office, this fund, and the several other funds specified in this report as Nos. 4,5, 6, 7, 8, are not considered as City's cash, but treated as trust funds. They are separately audited, and from to time reported to the Court by the several committees who act under its directions. Haying, in the foregoing statement and the annexed table, placed before your honourable Court a full account of the receipts and expenditure of the Corporation, we now proceed to submit to your consideration " An ac count of its liabilities at the termination of the last finan- MEETING AT CHESTER. On Monday the annual. meeting of the Society for the Aid of Foreign Missions was held at the Music Hall, Chester ; and in the evening a second meeting, in furtherance .of the same object, took place. At both the Lord Bishop of the diocese presided. At the evening meeting the Right. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., spoke as follows :—My lord bishop, friends, and brethren, I have undertaken to move a resolution, the purport of which is as fol lows :—" That the present crisis in India, together with the rapidly increasing field of labour opening out before the society calls for extended exerti on and support from Englishmen, to further the spread of the Gospel, notwithstanding the present trials and difficulties." After some preliminary observations as to the other foreign missions of the society, Mr. Gladstone said—And now we come to the occurrences that have give rice to the rose tier' which I now move--that two of the lights which have been lighted in India by this society— one at Delhi and the other at Cawnpore—have for the moment been quenched in gore, and the mis-. sionaries who were doing God's work .have added their names to the noble army of martyrs (Hear, and cheers.) My lord Bishop, that misery is one which fills, at the present moment, the hearts of every one. It is not as in a case where danger is at our door—it is not that the power and the glory of England are in danger, but it is the sufferings to which England has been subjected— it is not only to those who were engaged in the pur suits of traffic, or engaged in the administration of the powers of Government—but it is grief that the peaceful missionary of the cross has been deprived of his life—of the wife of his bosom, and the babe of his arms. My lord, why is it that, at this mo ment, this groat visitation has come upon us ? Was it not time that something should arrive from on high to bring us to consider our position and our. conduct ? For years Englend has been be coming more and more a spectacle to the world. During the last ten years particularly, we have wit nessed, an almost unexampled increase of her great ness and her prosperity. We have had at once wealth and the security and the blessings of peace on the one hand, with - the intoxicating glory and success of war on the other. We have seen great advances in the condition of the people-- an immense increase in the trade of the country —a real increase in the comforts of the great mass of the population ; and we appear to have 'as cended the ladder so rapidly, that it may have made us forget from whose hands we received all those blessings. For perhaps it may have been observed, that a spirit had gone forth amongst us savouring too much of pride and negligence, and recalling the me mory of those who, in early times, sought to scale Heaven itself with the works of their hands. Oh, my lord, it is good that, at this peculiar period, we should be awakened by calls of thunder to think of Him from whose hand we have received all that we have received ; in whose hand is all that we now possess, and whose creatures we ourselves are. And, surely, in the circumstances of this mercy there are likewise points so peculiar and character istic that they should be carried home to us as of deep note. Now, for example, if there has been, as my right rev. friend has observed, one error which mere than another has been cautiously avoided in India, it has been that of indiscreet zeal for the pro pagation of Christianity ; and having applied our own minds to the avoidance of the't indiscreet zeal, what do we find now happens Why, that this re volt has taken place under the belief—a belief which has undoubtedly existed in the minds of the army of Bengal—that they were about to be made Chris tians through force, through the acts of the Go. statement, and, again, it might be said that there has not been a perfect observance of right and jus tice in all our proceedings in India. It is clear, however, that the persons who served in the army have been the special objects of regard, considera tion, affection, and indulgence from the Indian Government. Nay, more, because among the dif ferent armies in India—for there are three armies in different parts of the empire--:.one has been chosen to be petted beyond all others. It is the army of Bengal, and it is that army which has risen against us. The cause is a belief t hat those who have never attempted to make them Christians— nay, would not permit them to become Christians —were going to force Christianity upon them s Now, my lord, I think, if we read the manner iu which Divine judgments come upon man, we may perceive in these great national affairs lessons of the Divine purposes conveyed to us. Unfortu uately, if there was a people who had cause for great national humiliation in respect of a great national crisis, I do not hesitate to say it is the people of England at the present moment. But hero again I must avoid going into a ques tion of who is to blame and who is not to blame. That is not a question to be settled here. It is, perhaps, a question difficult to be settled at all. India has been governed upon a system and a principle originally devised by the British Parliament—a sytem by which it was thought necessary to dissociate the Government of that countrp from the popular institutions of this country. The effect of this most curious contri vance for governing in India was that it made it to us as a foreign country and I do not hesitate to say that no man in ngland knows or can know India, unless he has made or chooses to make it a subject of special study, as he would make the affairs of any other foreign country. (Hear.) Eng land knows nothing of India. Our public men even know nothing of that vast empire, 'unless, in deed, they devote their time and. labour- in acquir ing a knowledge of its affairS. •As they would learn the affairs of Russia, so must they learn the affairs of India, because we. have continued a system of government for India which interposes an impene trable .screen between the ordinary habitual and daily routine •of Government affirrs in Eiigland and the administration of - Indian affairs. (Hear, hoar.) Thor/fore, Ido not at all presume to enter into•the question . who is to blame, or whether any one is to blame. It may be that it has been our own fault, the fault of our divided responsibility, the fault of oursystem of absolute secrecy ; it may have sprung - frirn the difference in the system of administration in this country and that adminis tered in India ; but, whatever the cause of the out break, you may search the records of history far and wide before you come across an instance of to vexatious and extraordinary a failure on ihetpart of a i4overning power in the administration of its po litical trust. (A ppl tuse.) We go into that coun try with superi r strength. We a - e acknowledg-d cgequererg. The natives met us in the field, and they felt that their military genius was subordinate to our own. Their organisation becomes, our work, and our government iu India became the admira tion of the world. Ido not believe that up to a few months age, anything could have apparently surpased the manlier in which our Indian Govern ment and our Indian army , were organised. In -a moment the Whole staff of our strength in India tact alone crumbles in our hands, but pierces our hearts at the . same time and a great part of that . immense country is to be reconquered - by British arms. (Hear, hear.) If capable of being taught a lesson of humanity, here are certainly facts teaching that lesson. lam afraid, ,even at the present moment, when we are humiliating ourselves before God, and imploring pardon of sin and a blessing upr.n English arms in 112.1ia, our hands, are not altogether clean. • I am bound to admit that, for the last twenty-five years, daring which I myself have taken part in public affairs, I have observed'grievous instances of policy in respect of our Indian empire,—measures under taken without a shade of justice, and a perfect scan dal to English history ; and no page of that history has folder blots-upon it than that which .refers to our Eastern policy., (Applause.) The question is, what is our duty in this great crisis ? Smile persons think that we should be well rid of the labour and the responsibility ; and, on the _other: hand, some think that England would be no longer England if India were to be torn from her. I believe myself there is nothing clearer than the duty of England to to use every effort and exertion to keep her hold upon India—(hear, hear)—that there should be no sparing of resources—no sparing of sacrifices to re instate the British power in peaceful possession of the whole of that vast territory. But then, on the other hand, it is not because I believe that the possession of Indian is necessary for the sustenta tion of the power and glory of England. Depend upon it, it is no such thing. It is, upon no such narrow and selfish basis that I for one would urge the duty of using the energies and. the power of this great empire for the retention of our Indian possesSions—it is upon the ground of a so'emn moral obligation. (Cheers.) The question is, not whether we were justified in the acquisition of the country or not—the question is not whether our hands were clean or not in those acquisitions—the question is, what obligations have we contracted towards the nearly two hundred millions of people udder our rule in India, and towards the God who cares for that people as much as for us. (Applause.) To fulfil these obligations truly, there is still abun dant work for England—and for England to give up India would be one of the greatest calamities hat could befall. the people. I argue thus not because of the material benefits of the connexion— kr, after all, these benefits are but of secondary con sideration. It is not on account of the benefits to ourselves—for, after all, England would not per haps greatly suffer in the essential elements of her power—but it is because we have perhaps r.ishly and p esumptuously, placed ourselves in the con dition of trustees standing between God Almighty on the one hand, and two hundred millions of his creature 4 on the other ; and because it is our abso lute duty to discharge the trust we so undertook to the glory of GM, and the benefit of these his . 'creatures. Well, then, my lord, in what manlier is that trust to be discharged ? For my own part, I, certainly do go the whole length with those who are of opinion that Christianity is never to be en forced, and never to be propagated to the prejudice of justice ; and that we are bound not in deroroga tion to Christian principles, hut in consequence of Christian principles, to abstain both from force, fraud, and from anything that bears a resem blance either to force or fraud, in respect to the propagation of the Gospel. (Hoar, hear, and chi ord.) It appears to me that we have to ask— that what this society and the people of England have a right to ask and exact flout the Government iu India amounts to this, that the Government should separate itself from all practices—if any such practices there still remain—should separate itself from any remaining practices by which it appears to be implicated in the acknowledgment of the prevailing film religion and false worship of the count ry—(loud cheers)—and that having severed their own political and public action from connexion with, those false religions, the next thing they should do would be to establish a perfect freedom and toleration of opinion. (Hear, hear.) But we have a ditty beyond the establishment of toleration in India, and that is, a strict adherence to propriety of conduct on the part of our European residents there—the avoidance of unjust and unnecessary wars—the avoidance of all countenance, and especially of all direct connexion, and substantial connexion, with all demoralising practices, under whatever' name they may be veiled, and with whatever apparent practical advantages or necessities they may ba allied. But by what Weans and by what agency, thee, - are we to discharge those immediate obligations which appertain to us in connexion with the Gospel of Christ ? I must confess that haie greet faith in that silent preaching of Christianity which •is con nected with the general exhibition of Christian con duct bath in the lives of private.individuals and likewise in the direction of public policy. For, in truth, in heathen countries generally, and, certainly not least of all over the vast Indian provinces, the sufferings the people.have undergone in former times from the cruel inflictions of wicked governments have been such that there cannot be found on the earth a population more ready:to recognise and ap7 preciate the differences between Christianity and a Christian method of government and 'heathenism, and a heathen form of gosiernment. And, my lord, we have the consolation that amid present distress, as far as we are enabled to form a judgment, al though the whole native military power of a consi derable portion of the country has revolted from us, yet, thank God, there is no evidence that the will and disposition •of the people ara adverse— (cheers)—but, on the contrary, as far as we can tell, the great mass of those peaceable and quiet Hindoos are disposed to acquiesce in, nay, perhaps, rather to welcome and support, the sway of the British Go vernment. (Cheers.) But if it be true, as I believe it is true, that ycu cannot look to the direct action of your Government for the propagation of the gos pel—if it be not only contrary to policy, but to duty, that you should enforce on them that prop. gation, then, I ask, is not the appeal made to you to-night made on strong grtunde I For, if we can not propagate Christianity as a state and as a king dom, why should we not propagate it as a Church and as a people ? (Loud cheers. ) Why not try our own individual exertions and individual contribu tions,, and endeavour, by prayer, to strengthen the hands of those who are willing to go forth iu this service—willing to brave the dangers that the la bours in such a Lend may entail—willing to snake sacrifices that we may desire, and who have, through the energy of this society, and by the great" and holy operations that it has conducted, done much to dispel the darkness that lowered round many nations of the globe ? (Loud cheers.) Mr. Gladstone then compared the Irish famine of 1847 and the subsequent prosperity of that country to what had happened, and he hoped might happen in India. We feel that England has at this mo ment a great, and even an awful vocation before her. She has got to administer strict and stern justice ; but to administer it, as I trust, even in a spirit of mercy, which can never be separated from that of justice ; and above all to recollect that ven geance is not an instrument which we are per mitted to take into our hands. The cry that went o ut from this country for vengea nce was, I hope, but the passion of the moment. The frightful atrocities that have been perpetrated must neces sary kindle to the very greatest heat the as 'ens of those whose d u ty it i s t o put down the rebellion ps in India. They do not require to be inflamed and inspirited by missives sent from hence. (Hear, hear.) In fact, that severity may—:even that rage which can be understood and accounted for—which can be palliated and excused in those who have be fore them perhaps the reeking remains of English women and children—those passions which may be excusable there, become odious and unnatural wh( n they are cherished here.

(Logy applause.) . THE RED-TAPISTS OF CALCUTTA. (Prom . the Paris Correspmtdent of the Morning Po :t.)• The despatches of foreign agents at Calcutta 0 their reap active Governments are becoming more and more interesting, as' passing events oblige those • ~ ., , ent'emen to extend their ordinary dry commercial reports to matters political and military. They are free from all local government influence, prejudices, and associations, and therefore more likely to . c•iticise'with a severity, so Much' demanded at the present moment, the policy of the Indian Supreme *: Council.' The general bearing of those reports reach me occasionally from two friendly Govern nieut;s, and where individuals are not compromised , here is no reason why they -should not he known. . Sooner or later the prominent members of the civil service will be the objects of severe comment, because it is by their policy that the t wolast Governors-Gene nil have ruled our Indian Empire. But it is neither wise nor generous to attack individuals; with the. befit intentions to do good, they are often only the instruments of evils they lament. Public opinion, however, may be brought tole .arin a most salutary , way on a bad system, and oblige reforms. I remem- - ber many gentlemen who passed through PariS after thoCriniean war confessed with deep regret to being, the instruments of many grave blunders—" But what could we do ; who would take upon himself responsibility and even if things went well get repri manded ?" - Such observations I have heard from ' the bravest and best of men. A want of supreme power, ands vigorous and de.ermined will to enforce it, are the reasons why in time of war we do not aecomplish so much as the splendid materal of our army - and navy lead the nation to expect. The evils I have ventured to record have, according to the re;- - p•rta of friendly spectators; been going on in India, ~ and military ad vice has been too often pooh•poohed. One cannot help asking—has the Home Govern ment provided Sir Colin Campbell with powers to suspend the old macbirery. of Government, at least until the mutiny is thoroughly put down ? Are lvr Majesty's advisers at home aware of the views and character of the men who, holding high office in India, first allowed the rebellion to spread, break out, and, then reported home that it was not serious, and that a few European troops, added to existing resources, would restore tranquillity immediately. Such were not the, views of foreign agents when the mutiny commenced and it must be confessed they took a correct esti mate of the condition of our Indian 'Empire. Here is a remarkable passage in a late' des.pateh : —" The high authorities- in India do not en courage reports or opinions from men who point out abuses,. so that the few really clear sighted military men who have prophesied evil, have never bean popular at head-quarters." This is not the moment, however, to dwell on the past, and" only mention these views to show the ma terial with which Sir 001;n Campbell has to work, or rather let us hope the lumber will tee pat aside. For a long time to come it is only militant authority which can govern India, and in the military element must supreme power be reposed. It is gratifying to learn foreign agents do not for one instant doubt our final success. The supeii ority of a small number of British troops cher clouds of sepoys, will, it is calculated; have a goa effect in future. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER 'MEETING.
