THE FASTEST 'HIP IN THE WORLD IN THE THAMES. The eelebrated " Black Ball" clipper 14- 11 TNING," ..ILd Belonging to Messrs. JAMES BAINES and Co., of Liverpool, and sister ship to the " Jams BAINES" and the " CHAMPION OF TIM SEAS," recently inspected and so highly eulogised by her Majesty the Queen and Court at Portsmouth, is expected to arrive in the Thames, to embark Troops for India, on or about the 21st instant. While lying off Gravesend, the " Delmore" wilt be thrown open to public inspection for a few days, and a charge of one shilling admission will be made, the receipts to be given to the wives and families of the soldiers who sail in her. The " LIGHTNING" is 2,093 tons register, 3,500 tons b ur th en, 243 feet long an d • 44 feet wide. She is VIE FASTEST SHIP IN THE WORLD, having made the passage from Melbourne to Liverpool in 63 days, when her speed during the whole voyage (round Cape Horn), a distance of 15,000 miles as the crow flies, averaged 10 miles an hour. On the 27th of February, 1855, she ran 19 mi'es per hour for 24 oonsecutivo hours, and from the 28th June to the 4th July, 1856, h3r hourly consecutive speed averaged 15 miles.

Lord PALMERSTON, as usual, pro mised that they should receive every attention, and that a.dvantage would be taken of any of them which might seem to conduce to the efficiency of the public service. These general promises are, however, easily made, and are hut too seldom thought of afterwards, until Parliament is again sitting to enforce the necessary proceedings. We should have been pleased if there had been an an nouncement that some of the most obvious and beneficial of these propositions had already been acted on, and that ample powers had been taken to be prepared for any alternative that may arise. The Premier declared that if between this time and the period when Parliament usually meets, it should be necessary to ask for further assist ance, he was sure that no members of the House Would grudge the attendance, which might be required to afford ttiat assistance to the Govern ment. We are perfectly satisfied an that point ; bu t We beg to remind the Noble Lord, that con sideralule time must be lost before Parliament could be Convened, and that when every clay would be of pital. importance. As we some time since pointed out it would be very valuable if the militia regiments that may be embodied should be authori zed to serve in our Mediter ranean or other colota„ s - --nay, more, in India itself; if they volunteered for that duty. They might certainly replace the regula r troops at Malta, who could be forwarded in a very short time by the overland route. Had this course been adopted, at least 5,000 men could h ave been added to those who were intercept e d en route to Chita, and thus there would have been no less than 10,000 disciplined and efficient troops added to the strength of the Indian execu tive, a number quite sufficient to have turned the scale, and insured the speedy suppression of the mutiny. The. proposition to despatch 1,000 sappers and miners, with the least possible delay, is one Via' should be forthwith acted on. As Sir F. SMITH truly declared, there is a great demand for erg - neers in India ; and even if the next mail should announce the fall of Delhi, there would still be abundant work on which they could be very usefully employed, in the con- THEE SUN, LONBON, FRIDAY 1 E . VENING s q AuGlusr 21; 113h7., Ist ruction of fortified places, and other much required works. The simple fact that a great proportion of the Sappers previously em ployed by the Company, had deserted and were now with the mutineers at Delhi, proves the im perative necessity of strengthening that im portant, and we may say, invaluable arm at the scene of action. It has been announced that ten thousand militia men are to be forthwith embodied. This is good so far as it goes, but we fear that it falls . far short of meeting the exigency. Thirty thousand regular troops have been, or are about to be, despatched to the East, and surely ten thousand militia cannot be regarded as an adequate substi tute for home defences. We believe that they would be very efficient, and might discharge the entire home duty, but at least double the num ber indicated would be required for the due and appointed task. We cannot forget that there are many difficulties still pending, and although convinced that the national enthusiasm would speedily supply everything required against any invasion that might be attempted, we should not leave anything to chance in such a case. Lord Palmerston has virtually admitted the force of this argument, by the reason assigned for keeping our steam line-of-battle ships lying up in ordinary, and of no immediate use. He declared that it would be inexpedient to send to the other end of the world the greater part of our naval force ; the fleet which circumstances occurring in Europe might, at short notice, render necessary for our defence at home. If there be any vali dity in this argument, if it he anything more than a plausible pretext, it is manifest that the further precaution of having garrisons capable of meeting any men who, eluding the vigilance of our fleets and cruisers, might contrive to effect a landing on the British soil, is absolutely essential. It appears also that the engagements embodied in the recent Treaty with Persia have not been yet fulfilled. Herat has not been evacuated. It has been affirmed that additional troops have been despatched by Persia, and " great doubts are entertained of the good faith of Persia." If this be so, it requires no great stretch of imagina tion to ascribe it to the sinister influences that excited the war, and we firmly believe fomented the military insurrection in India. Any cir cumstance may be taken advantage of by Russia, which can, at any moment, discover a pre text for war. It is, therefore, but a penny-wise and pound-foolish saving to encourage acts of aggression that might lead to an expendi ture tenfold, nay, a hundredfold more than that which would be required under more liberal con duct. The extra cost might properly be regarded as a premium of assurance that would be amply recompensed by the additional secur;ty conferred on the nation. But with great deference for Lord PAL3fERSTON, it seems to us that several of our large screw line-of-battle ships might easily be spared and an effective channel fleet still maintained. Many of these valuable vessels are lying up in ordinary, and it would take almost as much time • to render them effective as it would to bring them back from another quarter of the globe. We fully concur in the efficiency of our navy as a protec tion to the coast; but surely, under such circum stances, far more than 2,000 additional seamou should have been voted by Parliament, and this was not the fauls of either House, but of the Ministers who were granted all they asked for. Wby net add 5,000 t) our marines and marine artillery 7 They would serve both as soldiers and sailors in case of necessity, and woull be found invaluable for any emergency. We may also ask, what of the gun.-boati t Everything shows that they would be moat useful in India and China, and yet a large number are lying by uselessly, while they might reutle,r the most valuable services. If we had them not there would be a universal outcry for their con struction at any expense, but having them we per mit the benefit to be neutralised, to gratify tLo red-tapist propensities of Sir CHARLES WOOD. And so the "Crowded Dstellings' Bill" is with drawn, and preventible, pestilential disease is to remain undisturbed in its scats, and the infliction of preventible sickness and of premature mortality is to be maintained. The reason stated by Mr. COWPER for the withdrawal of the bill was " the feeling that in the last week of a protracted ses sion the opponents of the measure had power more commensurate with their pertinacity than their numbers. The opposition in the present instance had this peculiarity, that it came mainly from Hon. Members who represented those parts of the metropolis in which evasions of the law were the most frequent, and in which the greatest number of lodging-houses were found to the injury of health and the detriment of morality." We have not time to comment on the condition of the Commons' }louse and of its precedure, in which such an opposition from such a minority may prevail against such a measure. It was the excuse of one of the opponents that it would not succeed--an excuse impudently set up in the face of the fact that it was only a partial extension of a measure which had had unwonted and extra ordinary succes?. Let us recall attention to some of the chief points of the incontrovertel and incon trovertible evidence set forth in various reports, and to the recognised principles of legislation involved in the measure. The common lodging-houses of the metropolis and throughout the country were the most con stant sources of typhus, and of physi3al as well as moral pestdence. By the o)eration of Llrd SHAFTESBURY'S Act for their regulation, a large proportion of them have had their cesspools abolished, the rooms whitewashed and cleansod regularly, water introduced, and over•orowding prevented. It has followed uppn these mea. surer that epidemics have been banished from the bou3es operated upon ; that they are no longer fever nests, but stand out in high sanitary contrast to the tenements occupied at weekly rents by the labouring el asses. In the metro polis six or eight thousand persons die annually from diseases which have now no spontaneous origin in the well-cleansed common lodging-houses or in the model dwe:lings. Parliament has had before it the evidence of the beneficial working of the acts but that it is much evaded. The House of Superior Landlords readily passed a bill for the prevention of the chief evasions, and for the par tial extension of its provisions for tho prevention of overcrowding in those tenements occupied by the poorer classes, which only differ from the com mon lodging-houses in the rents being paid weekly instead of nightly. But in the House of Inferior Landlords, and by new, so called reform members, the measure, for the extension of proved benefic,::, instead of being hailed as a boon, is virulently op posed as an haveit were so it would be far pure air under a d espot:tarn, than foul air under such a rule and atmosphere as those members seek to maintain—shortening the period of health and working ability of the inmates, and deeLlatino their children. No possible p)litieal tyranny could in these days visit upo n its sulject. evils so grievous as are inflicted on the i n ._ mates of the vile tenements sought to bo amend e d. , The measure is one of relief and emanci pation.. Unconstitutional ? Whera could, the lawyers, the metropolitan representatives, and the squires who set up the cry, have learned their law? In no institutional book ! Law pupils so mis using the term would be plucked, in any proper examination now instituted, to keep out such ig norance. The substantive old common law is of the highest order, but it exists in vain for the want of a cheap summary procedure for its en forcement. We quote from the nearest legal state ment, containing references to the authorities on the question. Thus it is decided " to be a common nuisance, and indictable, to divide a messuage in a town for poor people to inhabit, by which it will be more dangerous in time of infection."-2 holes Abridg ment, 139.—Such indictment of one Brown for dividing a messuage in the village of Hertford was held good, and he was put to plead to it ; and it was then said that such indictments are frequent in London for dividing of messuages/ " The Policy of the Common Law was en deavoured to be enforced by the statute of the 31st of Eliz., c. 7, which provided that there should not ba any inmate or more families or households than one, dwellings or inhabitings in any one cottage, made or to be created, upon pain that every owner or occupier of such cottage, placing or wilfully suffering any such inmate or other family than one should forfeit 10g. for every month that such inmate or other family than one should dwell in it." This is a specimen of some of the Legis lation of " Good QUEEN Bess" for the protec tion of the labouring classes ; and we trust that similar and grateful mention may yet be gamed for Queen VICTORIA. Later on, in our own times, "it was decided in the case of the KINQ v. PEDLEY, 1834-Ist Adolphus and Ellis, 822: that if the owner of land erect a building which is a nuisance, or of which the occupation is likely to produce a nuisance, and let the land, he is liable for such nuisance being continued or created during the term. So he is if he let a building which requires particular care to prevent the occupation from being a nui sance, and the nuisance occur for want of such care on the part of the tenant. That if a party buy the reversion during a tenantcy, and the tenant afterwards, during his term erect a nuisance, the reversioner is not liable for it ; but if such reversioner re-let, or having an opportunity to determine the tenancy, omit to do so, allowing the nuisance to continue, he is liable for such continuance." Per LITTLEDALE J. "And such purchaser is liable to be indicted for the continuing of the nuisance, if the original re versioner would have been liable, though the pur chaser has had no opportunity of putting an end to the tenant's interest, or abating the nuisance." The production of typhus fever and the like diseases is the creation of a nuisance. The landlords of the disposition of Mr. BONITA.K-CARTER, the Member for Winchester, should be reminded that property has its legal duties as well as its rights. The occupiers of the tenements at Newcastle-on-Tyne, which were so terribly visited by the cholera, and which, yet in all probability, especially require the application of the provisions of the Act, should have their attention directed to the exertions of the lion. Member to maintain the illegal impunity of ' their bad landlords. But the economical notions, or mere commercial views of the adminis tration of house property, entertained by the defenders of the lilt!), are almost as er roneous as their notions of constitutional or legislative principle. It has been found that when the class of tenements in question are pet into a proper sanitary condition, and the attacks of sickness and the frequency of deaths are diminished, the frequency of long interruptions of rents is diminished. The most healthy houses pay the best rents to the owners, and the best rates to the parish. That the aged Prime -Mi nister should stay up to the last for the vigorous defence of this bill, (unsupported by Mr. SLANEY and other younger Members, who have talked much, but have this Session dope little in sup port of the sanitary measures) is great!) , to his credit ; but Ile would have achieved more if ho had persisted to the last. But the cause needs the revival of the Health of Towns Association, t) inform constituents of their interest 4, and to give warning on their betrayal under the cover of popular inattention, or misrepresentation in be half of foul cliques of bad owners. Tile mail packet Colombo has just taken out 1,095,0141. in specie for India and China. This, we are - bid, was I,ss than was anticipated ; the estimates amounting, in round terms, to twelve hundred thousand. pounds sterling. This may bo regarded as a regular drain, occurring twice in every month, which cannot be averted during the existence of the monetary code of 1844. There are also prospects of the Bank of France renewing the premiums for merly offered for gold, s) that we shall have to meet the double demand. Farewell, then, to money or pecuniary ease f o r some hr)P time to c to ie come. Indeed, we may consider ourzelves well off if we are not called on to en dure a commercial crisis, of even greater intensity than that of 1847, before the end of the year. October is always a trying month, and there is no great degree of timidity manifested in wishing that it may pass without any extraordinary dis turbance in the Money Market. It is now too late to hope for any change during the present year. The Select Committee have suspended their labours without arriving at any conclusion, and if relief is to be obtained it can only be by the Government following the precedent of 1847, by suspending the unwise and impolitic restrictions that compel us to re duce our domestic circulation at the very time when it is of the utmost importance to have ari ample supply. We can, however, hope for nothing boyond more Omporary expedients before next year, and even then no effectual relief will be granted, un less it be earnestly demanded by the people. The pressure from without must be strongly ap plied before Sir G. C. LEWIS will make ally con cession. He is, however, retch) of squeezable materials, and will yield t) the proper amount of coercion whenever it is judiciously applied. The great mistake that has hitherto pre vailed, as well with the members of the Com mittee as with the witnesses, is that they are " always bearing in mind the convertibility of the bank-note." "Inconvertibility," as it is termed, is the great bugbear that frights the i6le from its propriety. In comparism with that the currency Tracks care nothing for the ruin of every person embarked in trade, commerce, or manufacture, or the disemployment of labour of every kind and-description. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands may be sacrificed at the shrine of the golden idol; but what signifies that, say the cold-blooded philosophers, so loiig as the integrity of the standard is maintained ? We have the authority of the Times for saying that, so far as our internal commerce is concerned, there is no necessity for the deposit of a single ounce of gold. The hypothecation of an adequate g amount of Canaols, or the fact that the notes_ would be received in payment of taxes, would be quite sufficient to ensure their willing reception by every tax-payer. The foreign trade may require bullion, but that could easily be provided for, although it were made an article of trade and purchased at its market price. The element of uncertainty, looking merely to the interests of foreign merchants, and throwing over those of our whole home population, would be far less than that occasioned by the fluctuations in the rate of interest and the purchasing powers of money. An additional issue of notes, particularly of those of small denominations, say for 11., 21., and 31., may alleviate our difficulties ; but we shall never place the matter on a stable foundation until we get rid of the idol " convertibility," and establish a domestic currency that can neither be hoarded nor drawn off by foreigners. Our taxa tion furnishes the proper basis, and so long as that continues—and when can we hope for ex emption I—there is no chance of the national inconvertible paper currency being neglected, or materially deteriorated in value. Gold and silver will be articles of commerce, which may be safely left to the skill and enterprise of our bullion dealers. LATEST NEW TRIESTE, Auo. 20. Mr, Murray has demanded from Persia the im mediate evacuation of Herat. Despatches from Monte Video state that, on the reiterated demand of France and England, the Government of Uruguay has just authorisel the nomination of a mixed commission to arrange the claims of the subjects of those two nations. The Vienna correspondent of the Nord of Brus sels speaks of a letter which King Ferdinand of Naples is said to have wri•ten to Queen Victoria, and in which he begs her Majesty to take pity on the unhappy inhabitants of Corfu, and also to give instructions for the discontinuance of the horrible massacres and butcheries of rebels now taking place in India. Although the correspondent affirms that several high diplomatic personages had spoken of the existence of this letter, lie does not adduce any sufficient reason to show that such is really the case. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. General Windham has arrived in Paris on his way to Marseilles to embark for India, where, as already announced, he has been appointed to a high milita►y command. A despatch from Marseilles, of the 18th Aug., says thit the 1.4 umhard papers denounce new Mazzinian meetings and plots at Genoa. Piluee Jerome yesterday morning embarked on board the Ariel steamer, at Havre, and went to make a short excursion along the coast to Trou ville and Honfleur. The Prince returned in the evening.

Copies are also printed of correspondence between the commissioner and gentlemen entrusted to report the progress of the various works. From the abstract of the correspondence, "it will he observed," writes Sir Benjamin Hall, "first, as seep: eta 13;tt- rsea Park, that the sum of 69 ,909/, 15e, is required to complete the works comprise! in the revieed estimate of 1547 ; and when that ate unit is ex• pendel, the excess upon that estimate will amount to that toe eum of 34,503/. 4s. 10,1„ reqeired to cer o pl e t e 111,065/.

The right hon. baronet urges that the best course will be to ob tain a grant of money for the purpose of clueing these matters, and that he should be instructed to realise, as speedily as possible, the value of the property which will remain at the disposal of his department after the completion of the wares. He is confident that the sum so te be received will exceed the total of the amount required to complete the abovh-trientioned undertakings (170,612/.

" The object of our despatch of the 20. h May, was to ascertain with greater cieartv.ss what were the inten tions of the government of the King of Denmark relat.ve to the convocation of the States of Holstein. Your Excel lency will find annexed the reply of the Minister Michel. son, dated the 24th June. I cannot conceal from your excellency that the declarations of the Cabinet of Copen hagen appear to bestill very vague, and not of a nature to allow of any certain conclusion being drawn relative to its intentions. The 11riod for the convocation of the States is moreover near, and the Government of the King of Denmark will then be bound to act. Under these circumstauces and in accord with the Imperial Court of Austria, we have thought it most proper to wait f,r what the unequivocal language of facts will re veal. We can do so with the conviction that we have never left any doubt in the mind of the Cabinet of Copen hagen as to the manner in which we vie., the que,tious which are pending, and as to the resolutions which, ac cording to events, we may determine on taking.

PIEDMONT. TURIN, AUG. 17. The Duke de Gran:anent, at present French Minister at this Court, is nominated Ambassador at the Court of Rome. This appoiryment is lo upon hero as a measure of great impoitance, con sidering the well-known felings of Count Rayneval towards the Italian cause, and especially with re gard to the Roman question. The new French Minister at Turin is to be Priuce Latour d'Auvergne, at present Minister at the Courts of Tuscany and Parma. With regard to Sardinia tire Court of Rome con tinues to evince its hestdity, notwithstanding the complimentary mission .of Chevalier 13oricompagui to Bo'ognl.

The Sar Tinian Government on its side has instructed Chevalier Boncomplgni to avail himself of a leave of absence, which he has obtained of late, during the time that the Pope remains in the Tu4can capital. The tone of the Neapolitan Government lies come of late more unfriendly to this Government. It is expected that dip!ornaCc relations will be broken off between the two Governments bubre long. Tao Sardinan Government has of course made no remonstrance against ttie arrest o f certa i n o f its subjects by the Neapolitan ahorities for being on board of the Cagliari when she wis cap captured. Oa the contrary it wishes that every inquiry on the subject should b proceeded with ; but it naturally expects that they should be treat° as human creature s ought to be.

Walker, a vol.ce-constable, No. 56 K, who had been watching the prisoner and saw the whole ttansaction, ran after him, and after a long chase overtook him and seind him by the collar. The prisoner made a determined resist. ance, and Walker was compelled to throw him down, and with the assistance of others secured the fellow, who was irleatified by Roche, the gaoler of the court, as hav ing been in hie custi dy for a felony five years; ago,' but he could not. say vitiat was done with him on that occasion.
