That cycle of a Century —as we have before intimated—has but just now been actually completed ! A Hundred years having elapsed since 1757, when the great Angle. Indian Empire may be said to have been first organised. A similar superstition, it may be remembered, was really in vogue a year or two ago in reference to the anticipated close, at the end of four hun dred years, of the Turkish rule at Constantinople ! In each instance, of course, " the wish was father to the thought !" It was encouraging enough to Russian ambition—that opportune freak of fatalism which seemed to point out the very time when the mere touch of the Muscovite sceptre was to strike down with palsy the pride and puissance of the ()matins ! As encouraging A 3 this new and!kindred belief is now to the hopes of the Asiatic, race—a conviction that the hour has struck for their liberation at last from the long thraldom of their British conquerors. In Heaven's good time the folly • both superstitions will have been alike swiftly and signally demonstrated. Already the world knows perfectly well that the notion of the downfall h o f th e T ur ki s h em pi re , after 400 years have passed by, shouldwag, in spite of the CZAR, and his myrmid ons , ,after all the merest phantasy and delusion. The fifth century has commenced, three or four summ ers of it have already gone by, and still the Mahornetan lieges of the Sultan Caliph have not vet been driveu across the Bos phorus ! The supposed fatal period has lin,g since expired, and still th e anointed representative of the House of Romanoff has not - e . G conclude I his victorious legions through those gates of Stamboul, the streets of Adrianople, s a d the channel of the Dardanelles ! The Russians uay , II still fl, tter themselves, it is true, with the notion \ that eventually the long-looked-for hour of their success in the Golden Horn will inevitably be struck after all these reit rated disappointments. But at any rate the fact has by this time become indisputable that it was not lisonuied. as it wa prophesied that it would be soundel, as it was superstitiously believed that it would be sounded, gt the fatal instant prelictA—the close of the fourth century. Precisely as it has been with the Russian?, F wilt it infallibly be now with the Hindoos in re gard to a like evil and sanguin ar y superstitior. A superbtition instigating the former to draw tbe sword and fling away the se thbartl at the comple tion of 400, and the latter at the completion of THE S - UN, LONDON, FRIDAPir E.VENING, SEPTEMBER 4, l " 7. 100, years from the date, in each instance, of one particular occurrence. The vaticination idrefe:r env) to the triumph of Russia over Turkey has been flagrantly falsified even by the inadequate results of the famous siege of Sebastopol. An equally flagrant falsification will assuredly follow the prediction now forcing upon us, single handed, the yet more memorable siege of Delhi. A siege we say more memorable, because destined, we be lieve, to be followed up by far more decisive and more notable consequences. For as surely as there is a sense of justice amongst us, as surely as we have the blood of free men bounding in our veins, as surely as our hearts are not the hearts of dastards but of earnest Eaglishmen, loving our constitutional liberties, reverein our ances tral reputations, prompt to defend the sanctity of our hearths, and the chastity of our women, and the lives of our children—so surely is the fate of Delhi sealed with the seal of a doom such as History will hold for centuries to come in very terrible remembrance. THAT will bo the falsification of the superstitious prophecy of the fall of the Anglo- Indian Empire after a duration of One Century ! The obliteration of Delhi from the face of the earth—the extermination of its blood-stained and crime-blackened population ! An expiation as dire as any of which the world has yet had record —a vengeance as complete as it ever entered into the human imagination to conceive ! This, and nothing less than this, is what is demanded by every sentiment of Humanity. This, and this alone, and to the full, is what is required from us in attestation to the whole`pagan world, of our ineffable love and reverence for all the 1 sacredness of Christianity. There have been perpetrated at Delhi, and elsewhere by the ruffian-miscreants since then collected together in Delhi, abominations so unutterable that the globe is polluted until they shall have been avenged. The Offence of these Wretohes, more than that of the Murderer in " Hamlet"— " Is rank, and emelli to Heaven 1" Nothing short of the total destruction of Delhi— the bodily sweeping of it from the face of the earth, will afford any adequate expiation of these nameless horrors and abominations. With Delhi destroyed—literally and absolutely destroyed and buried away under the dust, as a loathsome thing to be trodden down, and if possible for gotten—then, but not till then, can we think seriout-ly of the reconstruction, and reorganisation, and reconsolidation of our Empire in Hindostan. That first—the rest afterwards. Delhi destroyed, we shall then, by that ono blow, have destroyed the whole pest of the Bengal Presidency. Then, but only then, we may console ourselves with having vindicated tke violated majesty of Eng land, and more than that the outraged glory of civilisation. The career of the truly unfortunate Transir, may afford a salutary lesson to "My Lords." Should they profit thereby, the loss and inconve nience occasioned by her numerous accidents will be fully compensated to the nation. We fear, however, that Sir C. WOOD is incorrigible. Every additional proof of the grievous mistakes into which be has been betrayed, only strengthens and confirms his previous impressions ; and it would take a dozen Transits, endangering a dozen regi- meats, to alter his views. He may say with the old Roman— " Video meliora probsque; deteriora sequor." He will not have the candour or manliness to confess his error, or to enter on a more judicious eourse. his reason may be sitisfied, but " The man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still ;" and Sir CRAILLES WOOD will maintain his, until a majority in Parliament compels him to bend be fore the storm which he can no longer resist. It was but recently that ho delivered in the House of Commons an elaborate eulogium on the superior qualities of the Transit. He appeared to be totally oblivious of the disappointment oc casioned to the Peers, who fancied th they would have an opportunity of witnessing the naval review, but who met with a deplorable stoppage "in Transitu." He also ignored the dangerous accident at the very commence: meet of her voyage, when she all but foundered before losing sight of the English coast. In vain was it that she took refuge at Corunna almost in a sinking state. All these mishaps only increased his admiration, and nothing less than the loss of an entire regiment would suffice. Well, he has very nearly had the required proof. Seven hundred gallant soldiers, after enduring the most serious inconvenience, had their lives endangered and eventually escaped, with the loss of all their property—An:lost by a miracle t The ill-fated vessel struck upon a coral, reef, four miles from shore in the Straits of Ilinco. While her head rested just above water, at her stern there were 11 fathoms, and at one side as much as 17 fathoms. Her total loss was at once accomplished, and so rapidly did the water gain on them, that the troops were hurried in the boats and fortuna tely landed, although with the loss of all they had previously possessed. This, bo it remarked, was in perfectly smooth water where the sea was like a 14ke. Had there been anything approaching we shall not say to a storm, but even to a stiff breeze, the great majority of these men must have been sacrificed, and their valuable services for ever lost to the country. A heavy surf would have been attended with similar results. Sir C. WOOD is not entitled to claim credit for the miti- gated character of the catastrophe. So far as be was concerned, the whole of the troops might have shared the fate of the ill-fated ship. What is required, as we have repeatedly pointed out, is a judicious application of the auxiliary power of the steam screw. It helps, on an emergency, just as a pair of extra leaders may drag an overburdened coach through a heavy road or up a steep hill. It will carry on during a calm, when the vessa would otherwise be lyiug motionless on the water, and weeks may be saved by due assistance in the time of need. It was proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the average time taken by 98 sailing-vessels was 130 days to India, while the average of those posEessing the auxiliary screw was but 93 days a difference of five weeks and two days ! Why, the fate of tho Anglo-Indian Empire may depend on far less Can tbat which is wantonly sacrificed by the transport system. Our large screw men-of-war would be admirablya'lapted for the service; - and, in addition, there are twiny old ones now lying rotting in our harbours which could, at a trifling cxpense, be converted into serviceable vessels by the pro per application of the screw. They would last for many years under the circumstances, and be a va il a bl e either as transports or f or t h e defence o f our coast. The gunbiatF, too, so re cently contt ructe i , might be made useful. could, they How many nien convey to India or to AL xandria ? They would be available along the coast or at the different rivers, and, by judicious the men conveyed acreas tho th e arrangements, e cen i e ah of mus could be speedily carried On ready to cross bayonets with the action, sanguinary and treacherols mutineer:2. The Board of Admiralty wants overhaulin g . " My Lords" must b© csileil over the coals ; but there is nothing in which reform is so much re. quired as in the transport system. There must be ti total chant° in that respect, if we wish to over come the present crisis, or to be prepared for any future emergency that may arise. Messrs. LEDRII ROLLIN, MAZZINI, MASSARENTI, and CAMPANELLA have been convicted, par contu- mace, of conspiring against the life of Louis NArinuort, and condemned to deportation. In one respect this is a mere brueum fulmen. The parties are, happily for themselves, far beyond the power of their accusers ; and it is by no means probable that they would return to France under the existing regime, whatever might have been the result of the quasi trial. But, in other respects, it may lead to serious complications. It may be made the foundation of a series of attacks against theT right of sanctuary which England has invariably afforded to political refu gees of all classes without exception, and of which the French EMPEROR was, at one time, only too happy to avail himself. It is now proved beyond the possibility of doubt that the trial, par contumace, which takes place in the absence of the accused, and without his being permitted any opportunity of defending himself, is a mere farce, under which the most innocent would have no security. We have already commented upon the absurd evi dence brought forward against the accused, which, in this country, would not induce a grand jury to find a true bill against a previously convicted pickpocket, and yet it is considered by the French tribunal as " confirma tion strong as proof of holy writ." There was nothing, literally nothing, against M. LEDRU RoLLIN, save the extorted or prepared confessions oft vo of the self accused conspirators. As accom plices, their testimony an oath, where the accused had the opportunity of cross-examining them would be worthless. But the parties did not agree with each other. One stated that " the stout person with moustaches, who was called . Rodrone,Rollini, had left the room before any improper proposi tion was made." The head and front of the individuals offending, whoever he might be, was that he had visited MAzZINI. But there was not a particle of identification —nothing that might not equally implicate any other stout gentleman who did not shave his upper lip. In the name of the people of England, we emphatically protest against the solemn monkery. It has not even the semblance of jus tice,-and for such a farce Great Britain will not withdraw the hospitality she has ever afforded to every claimant unstained by crime. The judgment was cunningly withheld until after the prorogation of Parliament, so that the topic might not be ventilated in either House. But we shall be greatly sur prised indeed if Lord PALMERSTON fall into the trap. If there be a well•founded charge against M. ROLLIN or his companions, the offence has been committed on English ground, and we ven ture to assert that none of them will shrink from a stringent investigation before an impartial jury. Let such a trial tike place, and we have doubt as to the result. But, as it is, the dodge is too transparent. Gullible as the Engliah may be, they cannot be prevailed upon to swallow such h palpable canard. LATEST NE Ws. MARSEILLES, S. 3. Despatches from Constantinople, of the 26 th ult., announce that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de Prokesch had, on the previous day, notified to the Porte the agreement of the Allied directing the attention of their readers to the fact that the organ of Lord Palmerston persists in its former opinions on the question, and that the whole animus of the article may be found in the single sentence :—" Notwithstanding this decision (to an nul the elections in Moldavia), we are firmly per suaded that the union is as far off as ever."

The cortege was opened by a body of the Cossacks of the Guard ; then came outriders and lackeys in splendid liveries ; and then masters of the cere monie, marshals of the court, and other dignitaries. Next came the new Grand Duchess, accompanied by the Empress Alexandra, in a magnificent car ) iage drawn by eight horses ; and the Emperor, the Grand Dukes, the Princes of Baden and Olden burg, all on horseback, surrounded the vehicle. The cortege, starting from the Peterhuff railway station, went direct to the cathedral of Our "My of Kagan, where the Grand Di - LA - fess and the illus trious personages who accompanied her were re ceived by the metropolitan, and where they offered up prayers. They afterwards went in proce3siou to the winter palace. In the evening the capital was illuminated." THE MOLDAVIAN ELECTIONS. The Minis!erial Oesterreichische Correspondenz of Vienna thus makes known to the world that the Monavian elections were aunteled by the Porte, at th 4 requeit of alt the parties to the treaty of March 30 : "On tie 27th of August, Prince Kallimachi, the Turkish Ambassador at this Court, made known to the Government of his Majesty the Emperor that the Sublime Port; having noted (akt neh,mend) the communications received' from the Vienna and Lon don Cabinets, issued or lers that the Moldavian Elections shonld be annulled, and that new ones hould take Om in 15 days from the time of the recept of the orders relating theret'. " Similar communications have :also been made to those Governments whose reprasentative4, in consequence of the recent difference, had broken off their diplomatic relations with the Purte. " The latest intelligence from the Turkish capital is, that the representatives of the Sates above alluded to have renewed their diplomatic relations with the P,J.te, and hoisted their flags on their respective residences." The Moldavian Secretary of State ad interim, has published in the official paper the following article on the subject of c3rtain coufidental letters which, about a fortnight since, figured in the columns of almost all the leading organs of the press : "Several newspapers have published letters relating to the Principality of Moldavia, which were stotea from the Kaimakan,Prince Glnaky-Vogorides, and not lost by him, as the persons who received them asserted. The c - intents aud text of the letters in question were greatly altered in the publication, and the undersigned Sacretery of State ad interinz has therefore been instructed by his Excellency Prince Kaimakan, formally to deny the authenticity of several phrases which wore invented by a small party that does not hesitate to calumniate most respectable persons, in order to make them hostile to the Kaimakan. _ _ " A.

The Deutsche Aligcnoine Zeitung pub!ishes a letter from Damascus, dattel Aug. 5, in which it is stated that the son of an Er.glish merchant there, named Whyte, whose fortune is estimated at 2,000,0001., Lai at his own expense raised and equipped a corps of 30 Europeans, with whom he had the day before set off to join the British forces in the East Indies, as a volunteer, together with his " following." The course they htd taken was in the first instance to Beyrout, to Embark there for Egypt, and to poceed thence t the East Indies. The uniform in which these volunteers have been clothed is very similar t 3 that of our Rifles. They have, however, been armed with the fowling-pieces they were accustomed to at home, and also csrry yatagans. Mr. Whyte's Adjutant and Quartermaster is a Mr. Finn, a relation of the English Consul of that name at.Jerus:►lem. Ho is described as having formerly s Awe I 12 yea"s as a Company's officer in Bengal, and as a man of middle age and of athletic stature. Attached to this lit le expedition is a Swiss surgeon of the name of Buchwaun, W ilola'ely s rued as as istant-surgcon wit►h our army in the Crimea. With the exc'pti(in of the above, the force has been raised exclusively from the working classes, andoonsists of 21 Britons, six Italians, two Frenchmen, and two Greeks ; and these modern Paladins trust to retch the scat of action early in this month.

The Presse d'Orient reports that, on occasion of the fete of the Emperor Napoleon, which was celebrated at Bucharest on the 15th ult., M. de Talleyrand was received with acclamations on his exit from the church. The crowd carried flam beaux, and shouted vivats while performing the national dances. A crown of flowers was offered to the statue of Roumania. M. de Talleyrand replied that the strong sym pathies of France and of the Emperor for the Principalities were unvarying, and that recent events were the proof of this. Letters and papers by the same conveyance state the revival of Mussulman fanaticism. Dis turbances and assassinations were increasing in Palestine.

The con vention c eitains the usual clauses relative to affixing the arms of the nation over the consular residences; their personal inviolabiAy, as well as that of the archives and papers connected with their office, Ate. Politics occupy the attention of the Paris jour nals in only a very insignificant degree. The Siecle dilates on the advantage of the water-cu e and on the great obligations under which Piies.;- nitz, the inventor, has placed mankind by intro ducing it to the world. The Union, complains of the continued dearness of butchers' meat in Paris, and declares itself opposed to the present monopole. The Constitutionnel contains a lon(Y article on the work of an engineer of the Pont7-et-Chiusseei, named Valles, respecting the dreadful inundation; which so frequently visit France, and the beat mea of neutralising, if not preventing, the dam lee which they produce. Our contemporary, adopting the views of the author, expresses the opinion that in undations, if properly regulated, are far from being injurious to the laud over which the water is spread, the muddy residue which it leaves behind on retiring being of a meet fertilising character. The consequence is that, ie. succeeding years, the land which has been flooded produ es far more abun dantly than it had done before. The whole ques tion to Le s Ived therefore is so to manage matters that the waters may run off without precipitation, and the removal of the valuable surface-soil be pre vented. Our contemporary, on the subject, in.th( s the following observations : " It is easy to see the error committed by those who, irstead of combating the mischief effected by turning to account the good which it might produce, have pre tended to suppress inundations altogether by confining the waters within certain channels. Such La; been the object of the greater part of the hydraulic works under taken for many years past. Longitudinal dykes have been raised en both sides of the rivers, and it has been sought to force the water, whatever might be its mdse, to flow off in the circumscribed space trace] out for it. What has resulted from this system f On the one hand, the valleys have been deprived of the prec oas benefit of the dep isits ; and on the oti er, catastrophes have not been prevented, but rather aggravated. The sy-te aof dykes, wrote the Emperor last year in Lis well-known letter to the Minister of Public Wee.lts, is only a pallid tive, ruinous to the,State, a I d imper'ect as regards the interests to be pretected. Vo-,• teey do not offer the conditions of resistance necessary to keep beck the water, and are always brok,o' thr. lige in some pl ices during considerable floeds, and the water then rushes over the sureourdieg land with greater violence that it has been kept at a greater height by the dykes themselves. It i , impossible fur these dykes to be made more resisting, as no one can calculate wish any degree of certainty that they will be high enough tprevent their being e over flowed, as no limit can be fixed to the height to which the water may rise. That system of defence is therefore ineffectual, dangerous, and contrary to the object which it is proposed to attain." What, therefore, are the moans to be employed and the works to be executed to prevent the ill effects of the rise of rivers, to lessen their violence, and to convert into a benefit what is now a great disaster ? This is what the Constitationnel propesei to examine in a future article. The Debate, in no icing the elevation of Xi-. Macaulay to the House of Lotels, pays the following well merited tribute t; the talents of the dis:in guished writer : "This just leeonpense honours both the Government which has co derred it and the eminent historian who, after having served his country in the House of Corn mone, will find in the House of Lards a theatre more in cenformi y with the elevation of his talent and the phi losophical character of his eloqu , nce. Recently nomi nated a foreign a=sociate of the Aeadeney o' Mural and Po itical Sciences of F ancP, Mr Macaulay may jest!) , be considered as belonging to let e.ed Europe as a ell as to England. Hi; account of the Revolution of 1683, which is so ; xect and elovent, se precise in details and in the study of character, amid so philosophical and ele vated in thought, is a veritable course of cenetitutional policy by which all those who interest themselves in the good government of nations ought to profit. This noble interpreter of the English constitution, this cieli;htened friend of liberty, who has become, by force of clearness and of interest a popular historian, has done in his cone- Ay and beyond his country all the good that talent and uprightness can produce in this world." 'niece is, however, one subject of a political na ture to which the Debate, the Union, . and the Ga zette de France allude, thotteh in the slightest man ner, viz., the article in the Post on the Pi incipalitioe They all notice it for the purpose, they state, iof AMERICA [A summary of the following appeared in Tht Sun of yesterday :—] The news of the three days covered by the Fulton's advice is of minor import. The New York papers follow with great interest the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise, of the suspension of which they were not aware, and speak well of Lord Carlisle's " hand some speech" at Valentia. The Indian mutiny is also discussed with eagernes. Great surprise is expressed at the course taken by Lord Canning in gagging' j. trn IS of hig characterp.fli e those of India, and still greater surprise that the English public ac- quieses tamely in a measure so foreign to their ;rad itions of liberty. A meeting had Lem held in New York of men who hadbaen enlisted in the States by British agents during the war in the Crime). their object in meeting was " to prevent any more men being de ceived by the fallacious promises of the British go vernment. Many were the deceptions which had been practised upon them, anclmatiy wore the hard ships which they had suffered, and they were re solved to put a stop to the enliAinents then going on iu New York for the British service in India." A very bold and successful uttering of counterfeit money took place on the night of the 18th in New York, when about 10,000 dollars w. rth of spurious bills, all of the denomination of five dollars, on the Lee Bank of Mas , tachusetts, was circulated in every possible place where bills could be changed. The large hotels were among the sufferers ; the theatrss suff-red ; every grocery, liquor-sore, and &sop was inundated with them, until at last a suspicion was aroused, and several arrests were made. The police were chasing the culprits, and it is believed that ahout forty persons in all would be held to answer. The correspondence 'of the War Department at Washington c-infirms a report from Fort Kearny that a party of drovers, with 800 head of beef cattle in ehargedestined for the Utah expedition, had b e'i attacked by the Cheyenne Indians, and the cattle run off. Tile same correspondence shows that California wac:gon-road parties have been delayed by Indian hostilities and sickness. The New York papers state a very serious fact in connection with the Utah expedition ,: they say that two of the United States infantry reintentl4 lost as many as 500 men by desertion. Brigham Young, it is said, is hardening his heart, and preparing to give the Federal troops infinite trouble. The New York Times has stated that the mission of Cap , ain Simms, of the United States navy, to the East, is connected with a project for seizing For mosa. The NGW York Herald denies this ; and the Philadelphia Press gives the following as an authen tic statement on the subject : Commodore Armstrong, commanding the East India squadron, received a letter from Mr. Robinet, an enter. prising American merchant, who for more than a year has been carrying on the mercantile and shipping business at Ape's-hill, Island of Formosa, with the in formation that the American ship Higtifiyer, wrecked upon that i,land, had been plundered, and its officers and crew murdered by the natives. Some time after, another American vessel, the Progressive, was seized by the Chinese authories, and the officers and crew impri soned. They were only released on the payment of a heavy ransom. All these proceedings were contrary to the (xpress understanding with the authorities of island, that Mr. Robinet should carry on his business unmolested, and under which he had been acting, with the American flag flying from his house, for at least 12 months. Commodore Armstrong despatched Capt. Simms to inquire into and ascertain the correctness cf Mr. Robi net's report. The commodore instructed him in a cau tious, prudent, and friendly manner, to learn from the authorities all that could ba a certained on the subject, reporting to him, by every opportunity, such informa tion as he should obtain. His head-quarters were directed to be at Mr. Robinet's, Ape's-hill, where the American flag bad been flying, as stated by Mr. Rebinet, by per mission of the,authorities for more than a year. He was to abstain from hostilities as far as possible, but in Cast , of riccessity he was to cell upon the American ship All these facts were communicated to Dr. Parker, our c,unwissioni.r to China, with the further sta,:ement that Captain Simms would be kept at Formosa until the Government could be bend from, and that this step might be necessary to legitimate a prior American foot hold, in case our Government should lo :k to future re priBals and occupancy. Dr. Parke-T approved what bad been done. The lat communication to the Govern ment was dated April 10, 1857, at which time nothing had been heard from Captain Simms. A murder was committed in Broadway, New York, early on the mo:Diug of the 22d ult., iu the "Shaw House," a dining stleoh. The parties to the affray were an actor named Nyruns, lately engaged at Wallack's Theatre, and a, Tombs lawyt - r named Wagstaff. They met in the bar room and soon quarrelled—abow , a won an, it is sad—and after many hari erthels Wagstaff struck Nymns a powerful blow . . Nyains, re covering in a moment, drew a revolver and fired twice in qulck succession at Wag staff. The first ball hit Wagstaff's arm, and pa's,(l in , o the breast, injuring the lungs. The second ball passed through the mouth, and upwards through the head, a pact of which wag shot oft. Wagstaff fcll to the floor a corpse. Nymns retreated immediately to the street, and had beea ar rested when the stea ner 14t. Wagstaff was well known about the town, as is also Nyinns.

The Moniteur de la Moselle of Wednesday, states a fact not noticed by any of the Paris journals, which shows that the Emperor Napoleon's project to go to Germany is now official. At Chalons his Majesty was waited upon by a deputation from the council-general of the department of the Moselle, who expressed a hope that he would visit Metz. The Emperor said in answer that he would have great pleasure in doing so "on his way to Germany, after the camp inanceuvres." The Emperor has issued the following order of the thy to the camp : Soldiers,--I have assembled you here under my own command, because it is useful that the army should, by :icing together in camp, acquire a common spirit, and receive the same discipline and instruction. The guard, as a corps d'clite, ought more especially to make unre mitting efforts to maintain the rank which it holds from old tradition as well as by its recent services on the field of battle. Montesquieu says that the Romans considered peace as a preparation for war ; and the truth is, that the suc cesses obtained by young armies are in general but the result of assiduous exercise during peace. I do not doubt that both officers and soldiers will nealously co-ope rate with me in the course which I propose to pursue. To officers I recommend a paternal severity—to soldiers necessary obedience—to both a willing mind and strict Attention to discipline. For discipline is respect toyour uniform, and the uniform is the emblem of that noble professi .n of abnegation and self-devotion, of which you are justly proud. Let us never forget that every cha racteristic sign of the army, beginning by the flag, re• presents a moral idea which it is your duty to honour. This camp will not then be a vain spectacle offered to public curiosity, but a serious school, which we shall turn to profit by persevering labour, and the results of our studies will be evident if ever our country shall want you.

The Memorial Bordelais, in its impression of the 31st ult., after a brief summary of the recent deplorable masures in India, publishes the fol lowing appeal to the French people : " All Christ an hearts, without distinction of nation 'silty, will sympathise with the sufferings of their brethren in Berge], and in the other provinces where the rebellion prevails, and will be ready to come forth to their aid. "But we Frenchmen, who in recent and different calamities, especially at the time of the earthquake in Martinique, and at the time of the inundations of 1856, received such substantial proof of British sympathy—we who fought and suffered side by side with the English in the late Crimean war—we hold it as our duty to be the first to come forward to offer help to those of our friends and allies who are in misfortune. "We therefore etpress the wish that a public sub scription may be opened without delay to receive the gifts of those who are desirous of giving a proof of their sympathy for the unhappy ♦ictims of the Indian insur rection. " At the head of this list we doubt not will appear the names of the most august personages and of the highest functionaries. All the notabilities of the country will subscribe. " There is not a town in France wich will not make it a point d honnear to appear in the list, a•ld we need not attd that the city of Bordeaux will figure among the first." IRISH AND SCOTCH BANKS.
