His high character and vast experience must entitle any opinion of, his on military mattars to great weight, and we rejoice to have received such powerful cor roboration to propositions, the execution whereof we believe to be imperatively required for the maintenance of the national honour, and the secu rity of the Anglo-Indian Empire. As we have stated, we have no doubt as to the ultimate result. We are thoroughly convinced that the insurrection will be completely suppressed, the mitineers punished, and tranquillity restored. But great exertions must be made for that purpose, and every shilling judiciously expended at the present moment will save a pound at some future period, besides many valuable lives, and the inconvenience and annoyance of permitting such a question to remain open for any protracted period. Every precaution should therefore be taken to apply adequate remedies to the existing evils. Not a single day should be lost, and inasmuch as Parlia ment must shortly be prorogued, ample powers should be taken to meet any exigencies that may arise. We may also add that full provision shotild be made not only for the Indian demand, but also for our Home defences. Surely, then, the addition of 2,000 seamen to our naval forces was totally inadequate to the magnitude of the emergency. That increase would scarcely meet the Chinese difficulty. But, as General EVANS truly remarked, " the demand for gun-boats is much more urgent at Gilcirta than in the Cinton River." He emphatically declared., that "No assistance could be more gra tifying, or more useful to our countrymen on the banks of the Ganges, than a squadron of these gun-boats, and he hoped, therefore, that orders would be) transmitted as speedily as possible to have them employed on that duty." This is a point which we have repeatedly nrgd since the intelligence of the mutiny was received . But, unfortunately, nothing has fallen from any Minister to show that the slightest at•ention has been besto we d on the subject. Lord PALXIERSTON, last niuht, entirely ignored the topic, although it was one on which Sir Ds LACY EVANS laid great s'ress, if th e p Leinier could hwe made any sa tisfactory statement, he would most assuredly have done so. Ills silence therefore, may be Considered conclusive that nothing whatsoever had been done in the matr,er. Duce mote, then, we t r ust, that some member will insist ou a categori _ as to wh e th er sir CHArless Woon, GAI reply from any sty has been taken, or is in centemplation; with respect to the gunboats now rotting 1, Out harbours, but which might render such important service on the coast and in the rivers of India. The sum of 200,0001., asked for the extr a expenses of the militia between this time and the 25th of March next, a period of seven and a half months, is manifestly totally inadequate. It is said that thirty militia regiments are to be forthwith embodied, and surely 7,33 31 . Bd., or something less than 1,000/. per month, cannot possibly be sufficient for each regiment, to say nothing of the probabilty that many others may also be required for actual service. As General Evans declared " not less than 50,000 men Should be embodied." We place great reliance on the national spirit ; we believe that every true hearted Englishman would be prepared to come forward with purse and person in defence of his country. But such devotion should not be re quired, and it is far better that the public de mands should be limited to the mere question of s. d. A much greater number of the militia should therefore be called out, and full authority should be taken to employ regiments that volun teer for the duty not only in the colonies, where they might replace the present garrisons, but even in India, should their services be required at the post of honour and of danger. We know something of the high spirit by which both officers and men are animated, and we have no doubt that notwithstanding the ill-treatment they received at the termination of the Russian war, they would still be found ready and willing to answer promptly and satisfactorily every call, not merely of duty, but of the most chivalrous honour. Lord PALMERSTON declared that greater time would be lost in sending men forward from Malta and other Mediterranean stations, by the overland route, than would be required by long sea. With the greatest possible respect for this opinion, we must still doubt the fact. There are he men actually at Malta, and we do not believe that there would be the slightest difficulty in ob taining the permission of the SULTAN and of the PACHA, for their transit through the country, or even in obtaining their assistance and co-operation for facilitating the journey across the desert. The case is not at all analogous to that of a war between rival Powers, where such a permission might be regarded as a breach of neutrality. The only difficulty would be in obtaining the means of transit down the Red Sea and on to India. This might occasion some trouble and expense, but we have no doubt that it could be accom plished ; and the presence of a few thOusand dis ciplined troops in India a month or two earlier than they could otherwise be received would well repay the cost. Directions have been forwarded to the Cape to send every soldier that can possibly be spared. But by substituting mil,tia regiments almost the whole of the present garrison could be forwarded, and thus eleven regiments would at once be made available. These matters may prove costly, but the Indian Empire should not be unguarded for ten or twenty millions sterling, more especially when the entire cost will eventually be provided for from Indian resources, and where the outside that can be required from the United Kingdon, will be a guarantee to enable the Anglo-Indian Government to obtain the necessary funds at a cheaper rate. It now seems to be universally conceded that the Company's rule shall be speedily terminated, and that the Indian debt must be provided for from Imperial resources. It is, therefore, our interest to see that the money should be obtained at the cheapest possible rata ; and this, too, is a point to be considered before the prorogation. Sir CHARLES WOOD absolutely refuses to say whether Commodore KEPPEL has been recalled or not ! This seems to confirm the rumours that have been circulated to that effect, and to lead to the conclusion that the nation is about to be deprived of the valuable services of that gallant and distinguished officer. A strict investigation into the causes of the loss of the Raleigh has al ready been held, and Commodore KEPPEL has been fully and honourably acquitted, and the sword which he has wielded with so much effect against the enemies of his country restored to him by his brother officers. He has also exhibited on a trying occasion the bravery and skill for which he has invariably been dis tinguished. Why, then, supersede or recall him from the position for which he is so pre-eminently qualified ? Is it in obedience to some red-tapist tradition, drawn from the musty shelves of the Admiralty ? or is it to perpetrate a snug job in favour of one of the family patty—one of the RUSSELLS,PREYS, and illusroT, whose unflinching nepotism, was so beneficial to themselves, if not to the community at large ? The First Lord of tag Admiralty is not the man to let slip any change of helping a friend ; and we fear that what ever may be the reasons publicly promulgated, the interests of an ELLIOTT may be the chief cause of the intense anxiety to seize on any exeu*, however frivolous, !whereby he may be pro moted, although at the expense of one of the mcst efficient and distinguished officers of the Royal Navy. Wo cannot altogether forget that Com modore KEPPEL was sent to replace, and supersede an ELLIOTT—that his exploits have cast his pre decessor in some degree into the shade, and it may be that the proceeding has been taken for tke mere purpose of giving another chance of promo tion t) the favoured ELLIOTT ! IWe must, however, protest against the conta- H eltous and insolent manner i n which Su I CH A.RLES WOOD refusel to answer the question of the Member for Southwark. A simple inquiry was made respecting a matter of deep interest to the House and country. It was asked, whether the gallant officer, whose daring exploits had so recently filled the columns of the public journals, whose name hAd become almost a household word in every dwelling throughout the length and breadth of the land, was to be sacrificed at the altar of routine to be made another victim to red tvism ? Surely in this there was no interference with the Royal Prerogative. Nothing to show that any naval appointment has been, or would be impeached. Information was required on an important topic, and Sir CHARLES WOOD, with true official arrogance and impertinence, thought proper to refuse it. If any additional naval estimate remained to be voted an answer could be enforced, and we shall be greatly disap pointed if some Honourable Gentleman does not repeat the interrogatory to the Prime Minister in place of the subordinate, before the conclusion of the Session. Can we feel surprised that the entire system of promotion in the Navy and Army should be complained of under such circumstances. The country wants " the right man in the right place," but Sir CHARLES WOOD wishes to involve everything in mystery, to stir up the official mud, so that no authentic information can be obtained. This insolence should not be tolerated by the House of Commons. The guardians of the national purse should know on what grounds they are required to grant the supplies. They have a right to ascertain everything respecting the expenditure of the money which they have granted ; and if they allow themselves t ) be snubbed by such a man as Sir CHARLES Wool?), they may bid "a long farewellto all their greatness." The Executive have for some time pastf been g ra d ua ll y encroaching on the privileges o P arliament, and if thi s l ast specimen of out rageousimpudence be sanctioned, it will be im passible to tell where the line can be drawn, or to what extent official impertinence may be e& rried.

E SUN, NDON, WEDNESDAY EVEN 1 G, AUGUST 12, 1857 MONEY MARKET A ND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market closed with a quiet appearance, and prices were without any material alteration. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales. Theßailway Share Market closed without animation and prices were a shade lower. Owing to the temporary lull in the demand for silver, the Continental exchanges are firmer, and yesterday there was a slight advance on most of the principal cities. The quotation at New York for 60 clays' bills on London remains at about 109 k, and we are still receiving small remittances from that quarter. The Vanderbilt, arrived yesterday, brought about 105,0001., but some of this is in tended for France. The following is an extract from a circular pre pared for transmission to India, by Messrs. H. W. Jewesbury and Co. :---. "The late unfavourable advices from India have again caused more speculative inquiry for salpetre, indigo, and rice, all of which articles have again advanced iu price. In oth©r produce little has been doing, excepting for im mediate requirements, the "unsettled state of affairs in the East making buyers very cautious in their operations. Dyes and dyeing materials have been in moderate request. There has been more inquiry lately for lac dye, under the impression that (owing to the disturbances in India) sup plies may begin to fall off. Cochineal and Safflower are both dearer since our last. From the continental produce markets the accounts are, that business had remained quiet, bat prices were very firm. From the cot ton manufacturing districts we learn that busk ess had not been so much interrupted as was anticipated upon the receipt of the Indian news ; and although buyers were operating with caution, the amount of business transacted had increAsed, and former prices were fully maintained. From the woollen districts the accounts state that the ad vance in the price of wool bad checked business, and as merchants were not inclined to pay higher rates, trade had continued flat. On the 16th ult, the Bank reduced its rate to si, at which it now remains ; the demand for money has lately increased, and rates are fully maintained. We quote six months' paper 6 to 6f, three months' 5b and money on call 4i to 5 per cent." It was announced yesterday afternoon that the Eastern Counties dividend will be 55., and not 45., per share, as erroneously reported. This caused an immediate improvement in the shares, which, how ever, has not since been fully maintained. We believe that the Government have paid over to the agents of the Danish Government the 1, 200, 000/. which, it had been agreed, should be given as indemnification for the abolition of the Sound Dues. The report presented to the shareholders of the English and Australian Copper Company to-day proposed a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share. At the half-yearly meeting of the Royston and Hitehin Railway Company to-day, the usual divi dend, guaranteed by the Great Northern Company, of 6 per cent. per annum, was declared payable forthwith. During the last two or three days the demand for Money has been exceedingly active, and as there is nothing to account for this but the ar rangements of the commercial community, it is thought that no further improvement will take place at present. The operations in silver when the Overland Mail arrives, the settle ments at the Stock Exchange, and other inci dental demands may support full rates, but t hera is no immediate apprehension of a return to a higher quotation of discount, unless the specie movement become so unfavourable as to cause a renewal of the efflux from the Bank of Eng land. At this moment we are receiving large sup lies of the precious metals from Australia, the United States, and Mexico. Thus there are ample means for pure'iases of any amount of silver that may be immediately required for shipment to the East, bit:, if the drain continue on the scale lately witnes , ed it is probable that large sums may be occasionally taken away from the Bank vaults. The Funds az e still very flat, and business is dull, pending the receipt of later intelligence from India. Although considerable doubt is felt with regard to the fate of Delhi, and it is known that if its capture is confirmed, prices must advance, speaulative sales are continued, • be cause the prospect of an Anglo-Indian loan is considered unfavourable, and it is thought that the struggle may he protracted. The Bears are therefore encouraged to extend their engagements.

Eastern Counties have improved about 108., Bristol and Exeter 11., Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee, Great Western, and North-Eastern (Berwick) ss. Great Northern shares are depressed, and declined about 11. North-Wk stern 155., Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolvezhampton, and South -Eastern 10s., and South `Vales 55.

DEATH BY DIiuWNING IN THE REGENT'S CANAL.— INQUEST.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley held an inquiry al; Ihe Elephant and Castle, Ring's-road, Camden-town, touching the death of Emanuel Solomon, a retired cigar manufacturer, aged 46, who was drowned in the Regent's-c Anal, at Agar-town. An open verdict was returned. HORRIBLE EFFECTS OF DISSIPATION.— LIE GOLD DIGGINGS.---Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Railway Tavern, Hampstead-road, before Mr. Wakley, the coroner for the western division of Mid dlesex, on view of the body of Mr. Jahn Jones, aged 46, late clerk in the employ of Messrs. liolietz, of Mark lane. It appeared from the evidence that the de-, ceased >a short time before his death had become pos. sassed of a very considerable sum of mousy, left to him by a brother who hdd accumulated the same at the gold diggings in Australia. The possession of such wealth changed the habits of the deceased, who was previously a sober man, and he took to excessive drink inz,—so much so that he became a decided madman.

Facts and figures are ugly things. They stare at us with immovable features, and tell an irresistible tale of our errors. When we ponder over a return such as the following, we nearly come to the con clusion that we must have been mad all along or to`ally blind, to have called an arm into life which was intended for our enemies, but which has now turned out to be a double-edged sword, whose backhanded blows are draining our best blood. One thing is certain, the Bengal Army, which has ceased to exist, must be buried, and that for ever.

The native army, on the other baud, including the police, amounted to 288,569 of all ranks. To the fatter must be added, according to the same official authorities, the standing armies maintained in time of peace, according to treaties, by the several independent native princes in alliance with the British Government, 393,918. If we make allowance for officers on leave in England, and for other casualties, and, on the other hand, take i n t o cons id era tio n the number of civilians at different stations, we may se% down the number of 50,000 as a fair estimate of the English men who wera in India at the time of the outbreak. On the other hand, we sea that 687,514 native 8 , 11- diers of all grades were accounted for, a proportion of about one European to every fifteen native - . Thee are fearful odds, as the Englishmen were scattered over an area of more than a million square miles.—Advertiser. REALM OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week that ended on Saturday (August 8) the number of deaths registered' in London was 1,224. It differs little from those of tho two previous weeks, which were 1,209 and 1,238. In the ten years 1847-56 the average number of deaths in the weeks corresponding with last week was 1,217 ; but as the deaths of ltst week occurred in an increased population, the average, with a view to comparison, should be raised proportionally to the increase, in which case it will become 1,339. The number now returned is therefore less by 115 than the average rate of mortality would have produced ; but as the period from which the latter is derived includes two weeks, viz , those in 1349 and 1854, when cholera was extensively fatal, it will be seen, if due allowance is made for the increase in the average arising from that cause, that the mortality of the present time is rather high for a season when the public health is net disturbed by any extraordinary epidemic. The progress of diarrlme appears to have received a check ; for whereas during the six previous weeks the weekly number of deaths from that disease rose by de grees from 33 to 302, it fell last week to 258, which is almost the same as that of the week that ended July 25th. The air was considerably colder in the latter part of last week than it had been for a month, and was, in this respect, more favourable to the health of that part of the population which is peculiarly subject to fatal attacks of the disease. Of the 258 persons who died last week from diarrhea t, 222 were carried r.ff in the first or second year of life, 12 were two years of age and less than 20, none died between the years 20 and 40, only 2 bet ween 40 an 1 60; the next period exhibits an increase, 22 person: having died who were 60 years old and less than 80 The deaths referred to cholera, which were 24 in the preceding week, and 30 last weet. Twenty out of the 30 occurred to infants. Adding together the numbers under diarrheet and cholera, it appears that 8 deaths from these complaints occurred in the sub-district of St. Mary Paddington, 7 in that of Belgrave 9 in S-. Margaret Westminster, 8 in St. Joh n Marylebone, 7 in Somers Town. 8 in Poplar, 7 in St. Paul Deptford, and smaller numbers in neatly all the other sub-districts. The deaths from typhus and common fever were rather more than they had been for many previous . weeks, having been 48. From small-pox there were 5, from measles 14, from ecarlitina 32, and from hooping cough 33. A man died of ulceration of the ilium from drinking chloride of z;nc by mistake for gin. Tae deaths of five nonagenariens are returned, namely, of 3 men and 2 women. Two men were respectively 94 and 95 years of age ; and a widow who died on August 6th, in the workhouse, Wapping, is stated to have at tained the great age of 106 years. Last week the WI the of 736 boys and 753 girls, in all 1489 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847-56 the average number was 1455. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean b.ight of the barometer in the week was 29 704 inchir , . The mean temperature was 65 . 2 degrees, which is 3 . 1 degrees above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The mean temperature was nearly 73 deg. on Monday and Tuesday, which is more than 10 deg. above the ave rage ; on the last two days of the week it was below the average. no highest readings in the week occurred on Monday and Tuesday, and were 88 deg. and 87'6 deg. ; and the highest readings in the sun on the same days were 108 deg. and 114 deg.' The lowest reading of the thermometer occurred on Friday, and was 52 4 deg. The range of the week was 35.6 deg. The mean dew-point temperature was 56 . 3 deg., and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 8 9 deg. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 69'4 deg. The wind blew from the south-west on every day except Wednesday. Rain fell to the amount of 0 85 in., the greater part of it on Thursday.

He opposed the motion. The amendment was negatived without a division. The bill, as amended, was then considered. Mr. BUCHANAN moved the substitution o f tha words " 200 yards" for " a quarter of a mile" in refer' ence to the distance of factcries from a town to be empted from the operations of the bill.

Sir E. PER,RY proposed to bring up a clause t ° exempt Scotland from the operations of the bill. 4 Mr. ROEBUOI protested aga i ns t proceeding the bill in such indecent haste. If the bill was good f o e England, it was equally good for Scotland ; but a 0 1 ° 1 0 preposterous piece of legislati on was never sen t doo a from the House of Lords, and that was saying deal. It wal an attempt to make people virtuous 'l e 'act of Parliament, and he was arraid it would be ma de use of to establish a sort of magisterial inqpisition. Sir G.
