'While still on his road to .Meerut, he received a telegram stating that his presence was no longer required, and he returnee to Simla. The Government had contradicted a report, hat the Royal Artillery stationed at Meerut, or that `he 75th Regiment, sympathised with the mutineers. In an official account published . by order of.

The official §tatement adds "It is the anxious desire of Government that no collision shall be brought aLout, and it is its I;elief that no exertion of force will be requisite to put down the demonstration of misguided feeling mainly exhibited amongst the younger portion of the soldiery."

IT cannot be denied that there is a great diversity of Liberal opinion, such as it is, in the new Cabinet, -=--quite sufficient to warrant the conclusion, that its composition is one of highly heterogeneous materials ; but still it is not such as to realise the assurance on which the compact was made for the overthrow of Lord DERBY'S Administration, that it should contain an " adequate representation of the whole Liberal party." A large proportion of that party, —that very proportion, indeed, without which the Whigs and Peelites could never have prevailed against the late Government,—has therefore very great reason for dissatisfaction ; and we are much Mistaken if it does not manifest it, on the first opportunity that presents itself, in a way to shake the patched-up Cabinet to its centre, if not actually to upset it. The fact is, that the whole proceeding, in so far as that numerous and powerful section of Liberals is concerned, has been a gross take-in. Already, we see it declared, that the meeting at Willis's Rooms, where the terms of the Whig and Liberal confederacy were settled, has turned out to have been " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare.'' And if this be really so, how can the new Ministry ever calculate on such an amount of. support as will eriable them to maintain their position in Parlia ment ? Deceived and disappointed as the Advanced Liberals cannot but feel cheated, thwarted, mortified, and irritated— how can they be expected to' give their confidence and support to those at whose hands they have received such unjust treat ment ? Nor is it merely their party that is thus insulted : their principles are slighted. The com bined Opposition owed its main force, both at the Gdneral Election, and in the new House of Commons, as .we have shown before, to those popular principles of wlaicla the very men were the foremost champions shimefully overlooked in all the Ministerial arrange mats which have just been made by the Palmerston and Russell Whigs. What claim, then, can an AdminiStration thus formed, thus composed—not only possessing a character of aristocratic exclusive nels, but having political proclivities, in many respects, of a most anti-Liberal tendency ever prdfer to the respect of those Advanced• Liberals whom, both personally and on principle, they have so grosslz. outraged Such feelings as we have here only too feebly ex pressed, are these, it is some consolation to find, of the great body of the Independent Liberals through out the country ; and although, there may, at first, be various reasons why they should show. a . reserve in manifesting them to the disadvantage of the Govern ment, we may depend upon it that it will not be possible to retain them very long. Already their organs of the press are beginning to speak out. It is not necessary to go to the Tory journals to learn the amount of aversion with which the composition of the new Cabinet is regarded. They, indeed, are remarkably forbearing, under the circumstances. They regard the Ministerial arrangements, as a matter of course, with deep dislike ; but the character of the whole proceeding is so notoriously unjust and ungrateful towards those without whose co-operation the Whigs would never have had the chance now appropriated in so exclusive and eon tracted: a spirit, that the Tories can afford- to look on with gOod temper, because with high hope. In the first really Liberal journal' we lay our hands on, for instanc e , we fi n d i t thus written, on the subject of the. new Ministry,—" We are not going to analyse its composition. The froth on.. the surface shows the poison that is at work within. It is an aristocratic Cabinet—a Cabinet overflowing with titled names and the nominees of titled families. With one exception, every man in it has held office before, and of more than one it may be said his being there was a national misfortune and disgrace. Two seats out of fourteen have been assigned to members of the Independent section. One-third of the Liberal ,party are represented by one-seventh of the Cabinet. 'The subordinate offices have been filled up much after the old fashion. It is a Whig and Peelite Ministry, with just a dash of Radicalism to usher it into existence with a slight savour of popularity." This last named cunning artifice is that on which, it is evident, they have reckoned for reconciliation with those whom they have treated so unfairly. But just for the yery reason that it is an artifice, ought it to induce them to resist, rather than be reconciled to, any such wretched scheming. Now, from the same Independent Liberal columns let us briefly show what is the opinion entertained, in such quarters, of some of the details of this notable MiniSterial patch-work. First, as respects the Law, —" Sir • RICHARD BETHELL, as a law reformer, has claims equalled by those of no other man to the office of Lord Chancellor, and yet he is not to be the Lord Chancellor of the new Government. The appoint ment.is given to Lord CAMPBELL, a man a p proac hi ng the age o f f our-score years, who has shown no dis position to amend the law, and who is known to b e ho,ltile to liberal measures of every kind. It is not amonj tiff legal profession only that this appoint- Ment is• !natter. of ostonishment and disgust—so far as we have had 21 4x.oportunitY of judging, it is uni versally sonde nnecrby public." Next, as regards Parliamentary Roform, new Government is a- THE NORTITERN TAMS, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1859 Government only because Lord DERBY refused satisfactory measure of Parliamentary Reform, and because its authors have made distinct professions of their adherence to the cause of Reform. But Mr. GLADSTONE is against Reform. He supported. Mr. DISRAELI'S dishonest scheme of undermining even the Bill of 1832, and argued with great earnestness for the preservation of rotten boroughs, which are utterly destructive of the theory and practice of representation. Mr. GLADSTONE would have kept Lord DERBY in office ; it is not yet a full week since he refused to express a want of con fidence in him ; it is but a few months since he accepted an appointment from him which sent him on a ludicrous expedition to the lonian Isles; bnt, notwithstanding all this, we find Mr. GLAD STONE is now Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one of the most important members of a Cabinet pledged, if Cabinets are indeed ever pledged, to a considerable measure of Parliamentary Reform !" Then, as respects the affairs of India, still in so 'Critical a condition,—" Sir CHARLES WOOD' is now Secretary of State for India. Ho is supreme in the Council, supreme over the Governor-General, supreme over 150,000,000 of the subjects, the unwilling subjects, of the British Crown in India. The man who has defended every annexation, who stood by the old Company to the last, who directed the financial transactions, or, rather, to call them by their right name, the frauds, by which the credit of the Indian Government has been destroyed in India, is now, under a Liberal and Reforming Ministry; placed in the most perilous office of Secretary of I State for India !" • plain dealing throughout the whole diplomacy im mediately preceding the outbreak of the war. Of course, if Prussia is now drawn into the war, — which of necessity she must be, if Germany comes out,—it will be on the opposite side to that of England, under the present Government. Ours will now be a French alliance; while Prussia's must be an Austrian one,. We read in a German paper,— " Austria has last nothing by the fall of the Derby Cabinet, because it has never been of the least use to her. A cracked wall, in hourly danger of falling, is but an indifferent support. Lord MALMESBURY, on entering the Cabinet eighteen months ago, began by sending a despatch to Vienna, in which he alluded to the old alliance between England and Austria ; but now that we have seen one of those grand historical crises arise, in which for centuries England and Austria stood side by side —now that war has been declared between France and Austria—Lord MALMESBURY ends by making a declaration of neu . trality, which he surrounds every day with thicker and thicker ramparts, as a shelter for his faltering and timid policy. What does Austria lose in losing such a friend ?" This, to the German politician, may seem a pertinent question. But it will be a much more pregnant one,. we opine, to ask, as respects Lord MALMESBURY'S successor, " What has Austria gained by acquiring such an enemy 9" THE COURT. WINDSOR CASTLE, June IB.—Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort rode out on horseback yesterday afternoon, accompanied by Princess Alice, and honoured Madame Van de Weyer with a visit at New Lodge, Windsor Forest. In attendance were the Hon Mary Baited, Lord Colville, and Captain the Hon D. de Ros. Now these three appointments, to go no further at present, most reasonably, however lamentably, give rise to the following very melancholy reflec tions,—" Law Reform is effectually barred by the elevation of Lord CAMPBELL to the woolsack. Parliamentary Reform finds a powerful opponent in Mr. GLADSTONE. The cause of good . government in India is hopeless in the hands of Sir CHARLES WOOD." What, then, it may be asked, has the country gained by the change ? Certainly not what the country, so lately appealed to by her Majesty, returned a new House of Commons to secure ; and this, we feel well assured, that House will, in no long time, give her Majesty's new Government ample reason to understand. Princess Helena, Princess Louisa Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice drove out in carriages. There was no addition to the royal dinner party in the evening. The Queen and Prince Consort walked and drove in the Home Park this morning, and visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at Frogmore. In the evening the Dean of Windsor and the Hod. Mrs. Wellesley had the honour of dining with her Majesty. The band of the let Life Guards was in attendance, and played during dinner Her :Majesty's private band afterwards performed in the drawing•room SUNDAY. --The Qaeen and Prince Consort, Princess Alice, Princess Helena, Princess Louisa, and Prince Arthur, the Ladies and Gentlemen of the Court, and the domestic house hold,-attended Divine Service this morning in the Private Chapel. The Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean of Windsor officiated. -.---..-.........--- HANDEL COMMEMORATION FESTIVAL Yesterday,' the first subscription day, must have realised eipectation. In spite of unfavourable weather the attend ance has been very largp. The naves were literally crowded ; scarcely a vacant seat could be seen ; and although the transept and reserved galleries'displayed numbers of unoc cupied chairs, there was still a full audience in front of the orchestra. On Saturday hardly a chair was without a tenant, but yesterday the season tickets were not admissible, and that circumstance alone accounts for the apparent nakedness of some portions of the floor. The orchestra had a prettier and more striking effect than on Saturday, owing to the prevalence of white dressei. Here and there in the snowy groups was a pink, blue, green, or mauve toilette, but - ,at very wideintervals. The oratorio was the Messiah. The overture was per formed magnificently. The solos were ,nndertaken by Madame Clara Novell°, Miss Dolby, Mr Sims Reeves, Mr. Weiss, and Signor Belletti. Shoitly before the overture there was a smart shower of rain, but as all were under cover it was not unacceptable. The morning had been close and sultry, and a little rain sweetened the atmosphere, while it improved the appearance of,the grounds The refreshment department is an exception to the general arrangement. The grumbling here is all but universal, and therefore must be not without just cause. It has been intimated that her Majesty, the Prince Con sort, and the elder branches 'of the' Royal Family, will be present at the performanees to-morrow (Wednesday). We are requested to state that admission to the Palace may be obtained by payment of five shillings at the entrances, or at the railway stations. When within the Palace, seats in either the one guinea or half-guinea blocks may be ob tained by payment of the difference beyond the five shillings for admission. Some of the one guinea seats still remain in eligible situations. Much inconvenience will be saved if visitors will provide themselves with tickets of admission, or for reserved seats, before proceeding to the Palace. The performances commence each day at one o'clock. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. diet, " Accidentally killed."—On the body of a child, named Henry Cross, aged three years.

THE ANNIVERSARY ©F THE \ ACCESSION TO THE THRONE. —Yesterday, the 20th June, was the twenty-second anni versary of her Majesty Queen Victoria's accession to the throne of England.

Mr. Jenkins appeared for the assignees, and offered no opposition. Mr. Yates appeared on behalf of some of the creditors, and opposed the bankrupts !icing allowed to pass, on the ground that there were no iisets. He contended that it was not a case for the Bank • :aptcy-court, and said he should petition the cou r t fo r the annulling of their petition on the above grounds. He applied for an adjournment of the case for a month for this purpose. The application was entertained, and the case was adjourned to the 20th of July. GREEBA CASTLE ACADEMY, ISLE OF' MAN.—This is the most delightful and beautiful spot any where to be found on the lovely island, and is universally acknowledged to be the healthiest. Few schools can offer so many advantages of situation and comfort as the above. It will be found in every respect suitable for the residence and educaticoi of the sons of the gentry. First-class masters provided for each branch of instruction. Prospectuses, with copper-plate engraving of the castle, may be had on application. The midsummer vacation will terminate on the 30th July. Pupils conducted to and from Liverpool by one of the masters, and to their residenceS, if required. tts THE WATER COMMITTEE. --The weekly meeting of this committee was held yesterday, in the Town clerk's office, at the Town Hall. Mr. Hodson'presided, and the following members were also present : —Messrs. Stitt, Ryley, Vernon, Rae, Wagstaff; Crellin, and Chilton. The business was merely of a routine character, the following being the reports submitted by the officers : —During the week ending the 18th June, 63,131,920 gallons were received from Rivington at the reservoirs, and 27,039,710 gallons pumped from the wells, making a total of 90,171,630 gal lons, the proportion of Rivington to well water being as seven to three. The engineer reported that the rain-fall for the past iveok had been 0.15 Inch, and the depths of water in the several reservoirs under their respective over flows as follows : —Roddlesworth, 33 feet 5 inches, and Anglezark 10 feet 64 inches, showing a fall of 6 feet 3 1 inches on the former and 114 inches on the latter ; and Rivington 3 feet 74 inches and Prescot 1 foot 6 inches, being a fall of 114 inches on the former and a rise of 2 feet 24 inches on the latter. THE AMPHITHEATRE.—Last night, Mrs. Charles made her first appearance before an audience, which was numerous, considering the character of the weather, and the strong inducement it offered to out-door, rather than in-door amusements. Mrs Young app6ared as Juliet, and must be allowed to have made a successful debut. It would be, of course, wholly unjust to institute any com parison between Mrs. Young and some of the great actresses, whOse impersonation of Juliet we all remember, but Mrs. Young's acting was not deficient in any of the principal qualities, which, with careful development, constitute a leading performer. There were many successional bursts of emotion and gleams of pathos, which were full of nature, and showed a true appreciation of the spirit of Shakspeare. Mr. Cooper sustained his repute creditably, as Romeo. The juvenile comedians, the Lechmere family, made their first appearance in the after-piece, and were entirely successful. The late libur at which the performances closed, compels g i ao o llitthv el taai c o a t s i l es n. them. We shall notice them more Young THE CHURCH EDUCATION SOCIETY FOR IRELAND.—The annnal meeting' , of this 'society was held last evening, in the Hope-hall. The Rev. Charles Lawrence occupied the chair. The other gentlemen on the platform were—The Revs. James Smith, of tArabane, County Derry ; Alexander Pollock, who attended as. a deputation from Ireland, and Dr. Baylee. The meeting was opened with prayer, and the _chairman then addressed the meeting, and urged the importance of scriptural education, especially in reference to Ireland. He concluded by reading the statement of accounts for 'the past year, which showed that there were £l5B gathered in collections during the past year. The expense amounted to about £lO. Collections were made on the previouS day on the part of the society, which; he said, were generally satisfactory, and would, he thought, amount' to more than what had been collected during the past year. The Rev. Dr. Baylee was then called upon to address the meeting. He spoke.upon the question of general edUcation, and of the special education of the Church Education Society for Ireland. He pointed to- the insufficiencies of secular education, and advocated the religious principles. . The Rev. Alexander Polloek, next addreSsed the Meeting, arid afterwards the Rev. Mr. Falloon. A hymn was sung, during which a collection was made, and the meeting was then dismissed with prayer. WALLASEY LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH. -- This board held its last meeting yesterday evening at the Publid-offices, Egremont, previous to the annual election of commissioners. Mr. Caine presided. There were also present—Messrs. Kerford, Holmes, Ball, Roberts, Hughes, and Hill.

The Confederation is quite prepared, and so are all the States of which it is made up. It was intimated some days since, that " matters in Piussia are in a very ticklish condition. The feeling against France is so great among all classes of the population, that it is not supposed the Government will be able to resist it." The mobilisation of the army, which has since been mentioned, only confirms this too well grounded apprehension. Later accounts inform us, that " the armaments continue allover Germany with unabated activity, although the public exchequers are relieved from the burden of maintaining large bodies of soldiery until actual service is required from them • for as the me heave uuu Lurou b u a great ammint or arm tor last eight weeks, they will be, it is presumed, efficient enough for all martial purposes." Prussia is no doubt very unwilling to be involved in a war with which she has, from the first, had nothing to• do. But her situation is exceedingly critical. Not only is her own safety to be considered as in some degree bound up with that of her near neighbour and confederate, Austria ; but the German mind and will must of necessity exert an influence over her, d impel her to join in a course of resistance to the encroachments of what they consider the, common enemy, which otherwise she might successfully have striven to avoid. Prussia is well aware of the im portance, at such a conjuncture, of her sailing along with the current of popular German feeling, as much as possible. And then, there is her own national defence to look after. It can therefore create no surprise to find her become busier and busier with her defensive preparations. " Last week," it is stated, "twenty new gunboats were ordered by the Government at different private establishments, told the - completion of the works of Konigsberg, Loetzen,• Marienburg, Danzig, Thorn, Graudenz, and Posen— the Prussian line of defence on the Russian side—is near at hand; and within the last week, incredible numbers of workmen have been engaged upon them. Another item of recent intelligence, is most impor tant,—namely, that " a few days ago the Prussian Cabinet, in resolute words, requested the French Government to state distinctly whether or not, under any conditions, it was intended to carry the war beyond the limits of Lombardy and Venice," the answer to which, it since appears, was signifies cantly ambiguous. Now the French Emperor has, for some considerable time, been aware of the strong feeling that prevails in Germany against his policy, if not also against his dynasty. We find proofs of his knowledge of the state of feeling in Germany in Lord MALMES BURY'S official correspondence. Lord COWLEY, for instance, writing from Paris to the Foreign Secretary, so long ago as March last, and giving an account of an audience he had just had with the Emperor, states,—" His Majesty said that he could mot ex aggerate the critical state of Europe. He, admitted that that critical state had arisen from a series of faults from which no one, perhaps, was exempt; but it was useless now, he observed, to inquire into the past. We were in presence of facts, and with those facts we had to deal. Sardinia was armed to the teeth, Austria equally so, Germany had taken the alarm; and although he could conscientiously assert that up to this time he had made no armaments, he must declare that if means were not found, and that immediately, for restoring Europe to its natural equilibrium, he must at once put the French army on the war footing. Already France began to show symptoms of dissatisfaction at the haughty tone assumed by Germany. Within a month the whole country would demand war. His Majesty read me letters from the interior to prove the truth of his words, and I believe he is correct in his assertions, and that the demonstrations in Germany have had the contrary effect to what, perhaps, was expected' of them, and have, to a certain extent, excited the indignation of the French nation." Subsequent events have corroborated much of thiii pregiction; while they have also given a fiat contradiction to his pretence, that "up to that time' he had made no armaments,".-.a circumstance which only increases i one's mistrust of Louis INTAPoLEmes Sincerity and 1 very much interested is what they had seen. After a few words from Mr. Anderson the party separated. We cann ot omit to notice a number of drawings which were exhibi ted t. as the productions of the children. They drew forth m u ch admiration from the ladies and gentlemen present, an d certainly reflect great credit on the youthful executors; During the course of the day a number of prizes were distributed among the deserving children. This year th pupil-teachers' prize was awarded to Wilberforce Williarasd for the diligent and conscientious manner is which he b° discharged his duties. MAItKETS' COMMITTEE.—This committee met yesterdaYs in the Town-hall, and the members present were—Mes srs. Johnson (in the chair), Woodruff, Ridley, Haydeekt Haughton, Shimmin, and Holden. The sub-commi ttee f appointed to take into consideration the practicability e making the Gill-street market into a wholesale mark et ' reported that there was not ground there sufficient for th is . purpose. A letter had been received from - Mr. Be',D r drawing attention to the brutal, practise of plucking ru", 3 alive, at St. John's Market. M. Hutchison confer with Mr. Booth, but the latter gentleman could not nia l:e any definite statement. One man; however, was since caught in the practise, against whom steps are being take° for prosecution. Mr. Grose, 21, Salisbury-street, acknew" ledged the receipt of a summons " from the committee, te, attend at their next meeting. Ile said, not having solicit e d an interview with the, committee, and having no business to transact with them, there certainly must be some mistake. Mr. Ridley said, he ha d been told by authority, which he considered good, that Mr. Grose had been in the habit f visiting Mr. Luya, in St. John's-market, assisting him i n keeping the books, and had been mixed up with him in t he market. He, therefore ) , thought that they should not Pa ss by this matter with a silent vote, and he moved that it be entered on the proceedings. Mr. Woodruff said, he thone t Mr. Grose would have been very glad to attend the corn mittee, and give any explanation in his power. He w as surprised that such a letter should have been received front Mr. Grose. It was agreed that the matter should b e entered on the proceedings. Mr. Bally, auditor, was c alled in, and he entered into, a long explanation of the ne w , system of book-keeping ad o pt e d i n th e ma r k e t s for the la s' three months, and suggested some further improvemen ts ' Mr Hutchison, superintendent of St. John's-market, ga ve as his opinion that the system was no improvement 03 the old one. Mr. Stonehouse,.superintendent of St. Martin's, said he agreed with the system in its entirety, and he co' sidered it a most.excellent one. The check was more re m' plete and less labour entail e d. It w as ag r e e d that ta l , system be continued for the present. Mr. Shimmin mov e d that a special committed be appointed to take into consider'''. tion the following motion, of which he had given notice• 'tThat a plan be prepared of all the markets, silo/il thereon the number of each shop, s tall, and table, suc h numbering to be consecuti v e.
