THE DAY'S NEWS. The Calcutta Mails have arrived. The news is -of a sa.isfactory kind, so far as respects General Havelock's movements. He was still suceessuliy moving onwa.el towards Lucknow. The General did not retreat to Oawnpore. The movement which gave rise to that erroneous report was one which became neeessery under the peculiar circumstances of the case. After his latest reported victory he simply retrograded to within a few miles of the Ganges for three objects. First, he desired to relieve his column from the .encumbrance of the sick and wounded, whose numbers did not only diminish big force, but imp :e its movements. Secondly, he approached the Ganges to get wiqiin reach of reinforcements which he knew to be at hand. And those reinforcements airiving, more than supplied the gaps in his force caused by war and disease. Thiraly, he found, on a<vancing into the (ludo country, that every little place was fortified, and had its gun or guns; and he desired to strengthen his own artil lery from the park of Cewnpore. Another point of the intelligence will be received with pleasure, viz., that there exists reasons to hope that efforts to relieve Arrah have been suceesful. Nothing is said of the retreat of our forces from before Delhi, but that city had certainly not been taken. "In fact," says the Calcutta Englishman, " the revolt now includes at least 100,000 men, and extends through whole kingdoms. From the Puojaub throughout the North Western provincess, except here and there an isolated garri man, the Biitiah power is for the time extinct " rho seme paper estirnites that in the Cewnpore massacre nearly a thousand Christians lost their lives. The report that Nana Sahib had destroyed himself was, as we conjectured, unfounded. He still lives ; and when last heard of; was threatening Bithoor. R eruiting for the Indian army is going on with much less rapidity than was hoped would be the ease. The London Press, in noticing the subject, says:—" We are inclined to believe that enough has not been done to render the profession of arms an object of ambition to the industrial population. We cannot sea the use of the restrictions as to height anti age which are now in force. In an emergency of this character expedition is every. thing, and we are still of opinion that if our stand ing army must be increase 1, the quiekest and most effective mode of doing so would be to form an auxiliary corps of such regiments of militia as are willing, with their officers, to be enrolled in the Queen's army. It would be easy to make them distinct, if it should be thought necessary to do so, and the inducements of hall-pay pensions and widows' ano . vances might very properly be held out to them." Notwithstanding this undesirable state of affairs, we are given to understand that for the present the offer of commissions as a bonus is suspended, and that recruiting must take its usual course. The recruiting sergeant cannot stand against the temptation held out by youth ambitious of obtaining commissions. A perfect army would have been plaeel at the disposal of the Csnamander.in-Chief in a very few weeks if the system had been continued of giving an ensigney for one hundred mete for offices were immediately opened all over the country, and .£2 per head offered in addition to the bounty. Recruiting officers stood aghast at the competition, and the militia colonels and adjutants were about to sur render in despair. The intelligence by the Auatralian mail, given in another column, is not of much importance. Trade was tolerably steady. The imports from the com. movement of the year to the 11th of July were only £539,553 in excess of the exports. This balance of payments is considered small, but the eominercial community were somewhat alarmed at the immense shipm:n:s which were being made from this side. It was thought that, unless mo:e caw.ion be exercised, that the markets, already supplied very amply, would become glutted to such an extent as te exercise a most prejudicial influence upon quotations. The yields of gold continue satisractory, and the average monthly produce was 48,284 oz., fta , tinst 41,604 oz. for the corresponding period of 1856. The receipts by escort, were maintained, and the exports were still large. It is meutioned as one of the most important events in m )netary affairs, that Australian coined sovereigns and ball sovereigns were made a legal tende r throughout the colonies. They will consequently be taken by the bankers at their full value, and are no longer liable to the export duty or ship ment. We are in receipt of four &flys' later news by the America arrived here yesterday from Boston. The monetary panic had alt but subsided in New York, where it had been chiefly c2nfined to. Several more failures are, however, announced for large amounts. The specie brought by this steamer, in consequence of the anxiety ft lt in commercial circles, is very meagre. Something over 5,000 dollars. There is very little news from the Continent this morning. The Paris Pays says that a private letter from London of the 17th had been received, which stated t hat Lord El g i n would b e soon appointel to tne post of Governor-General of India, and that Lord Canning would be nominated to another office. The Nouvelliste of Ghent says that the civic guard has been told t) be in readiness to take arms on hearing the rappel, either by night or day This precaution has been taken in consequence of the combination of workmen, which for some time past bail created a feeling of uneasiness in the city. The garrison is confined to their barracks. Private letters from Madrid describe the recent Ministerial crisis ; it appears that Marshal Nar vaez and his colleagues offered to resign, not once, but five distinct times. The Queen refused each time to accept their resignation, less from attach ment to their persons than from her inability to replace them by any competent persons. The Cabinet has nevertheless failed to gain a single point, and the Qa.een remains obstinate in her determination not to recall General Concha from Cuba. In all probability the Court will soon see the necessity of terminating a crisis which is most unfavourable to its interests; and Marshal Narvarz will be restored to good humour by the temporary sacrifice of sundry Court favourites. The Spanish Government has, it is said, remon strated with that of Portugal on the presence of several Spanish Republicans in Lisbon. The little villige of Arne, in Piedmont, has been all hut destroyed. A torrent, which falls over a precipice behind the village, and joins the Dora Grosso. a Hale way below, was swollen by a rain storm which cuma on in the evening, to such a degree that it washed down a great mass of earth aad rocks from the mountain side,and overwhelmed the lower part of the village. Many houses were buried in the falling mass, and between thirty and forty persons, wile sleeping in their beds, for the avalanche came at half past ten o'clock at night, instantly perished. The is qThest on the hely of the female found murdered in Leigh Woods, near Bristol, was ter minated on Saturday. Mr. Rudd Lucas, surgeon, deposed to having made a pest modern examination of the body, and quid on removing the deceased's hair, he found a scar recently healed, about 2 inches in leng:h, on the upper part of the righ , side of the head. On taltMg off the scalp, he found a wound in the bone cerresponding with the bullet mark, arid afterw irds found a bullet of a small size in the left orbit; it was extracted, and weighed 39 grains and a half. It was rather . a slug than a bullet. The bullet had passed into a small portion of the base of the brain. The jugular vein on the right side was divided. His impression was that she was a married woman Three cif her teeth, extracted from the upper j.iw, had been stopped with some metallic substance. The wound; in the threat causal devil. The wounds from the pistol would not necessarily have done so. There was no appearance of any ring on the fingers having been forcibly torn off. She was apparently about 25 years of age, and it marriel woman. A mm named Powell desired to see the b lv, as he had come many miles to do so, as his daughter Charlotte had left home six weeks, and had never since been heard of. He was permitted to do so, but returae I, saying it was not his child. The coroner put it to the jury whether they would a-31mm, hut, by a show of hands, they decided to finish the inquiry, and they ultimately returned a verdict, " That the unknown deceased was wilfully murderel by some person or persons unknown." A very singular scene his occurred at the Lon don Central Criminal Court. The second mate of an East Indiaman had been tried for ill treatment to a Lasear on the homeward voyage. About four o'clock, on Friday afternoon, the jury came into court and stated that eleven had made up their minds, hut the twelfth was of a contrary opinion, and there MO no probability of their agreeing. The jury were then taken again to their room, and on their return stated the same thing, and stated that the eleven jurymen were of opinion that the twath was either a madman or an for he would not listen to aey arguments, an I had told them that he would stick out for a week rather than agree with the verdict. As the counsel would not consent to the jury being discharged, they were again loeked up. A third time they were brought into court with the same resift, and the court wan ajourne 1 till next morning. Tne foreman of the jury said they had really suffered very much from want of refreshments. geese sand wiches and porter was, therefore, allowed them. It was understood that during the night the dissentient juryman had not had a pleasant time of it, as he was cuffed and pummelled, and water thrown upon him by the other jurymm, and he was not allowed to take any rest. Cushions were provided Dr them to rest up m Shortly after seven o'clock in the morning they were brought into court for the last time, and having stated that there was no chance of agreeing, the Commissioner took upon himself to discharge them, and the defendant was set at liberty upan his entering into his own recognisances to appear at the next session. At our pl'ice court; on S-tturday, five krirneynien cabinet-makers were committed for trial on a chat ae of conspiracy—inasmuch as they had intimidated eerlain work !non in the ernpl iy of Mess - es. Bradley Brothers, cabinet-mati . 3rs, of Bal THE all-absorbing topic of the day throughout the United Kingdom is the progress of the Mutiny in India, and at no time since its firs outbreak has expected news presented such mo mentous importance as the intelligence N . vhich we have reason to anticipate by the next Overland Mail. British supremacy in India has long been in a critical position. At last matters have assumed a phase where conquest or defeat must be declared, and while we write either one or other of these issues has become matter of history. Nevertheless, we must suffer several days of acute suspense and terrific anxiety ere we learn the details of the grand and final struggle between the heroes of Britain and the savage and treacherous hordes of India. For ever memorable will be the military transactions in India during August, 1857. They will be interesting in the chronicles alike of Asia and of Europe, It will be recorded that in that month the British Empire in Hindostan passed through a severe and trying ordeal ; that then Great Britain had to put forth all her strength in asserting her right and power to rule in India. The theme which •some future AlicAniy will take up and philosophise upon i•, ere this, one well known and understood at Calcutta, but we at home, who have friends and relations engaged i❑ civil or military service, must wait in positive agony for the bloody intelligence which the next Overland Mail will be sure to bring. View the subject in whatever light we may, its importance at once becomes apparent. The result of the contest will exercise . an effect upon the civilised world weightier in its consequences than any similar event of either ancient or modern times. When CLEO PATRA'S galleys fled at Actium—when the last terrific charge of the Old Guard failed on the plains of Waterloo—no small portion of the civilised world change - 1 masters ; still, momen tuous as these consequences were, they were insignifilant matters compared with what has taken place in India. The contests between ANTONY and AUGUSTUS, or the fierce disputes between BONAPARTE and the Muse of Bourbon, were, after all, nothing more than personal con tests of ambitious aspirants for regal power and supremacy. Under any circumstances, the civilised world would have got on independent of the person or qualities of its immediate rulers In this view of the matter we are fortified by the fact that history furnishes us with innumerable instances, setting forth the most notable exam ples of the human race, the most glaring triumphs of faith, liberty, and truth, both civil and religious, which were accamplished during the reigns of the worst, most debased, and besotted of monarchs—an evidence that the imbecilities and the vices of the rulers for the time accellerated the progress of national improvement. Again, the contests in Europe,. which have been maintained at several periods by ambitious competitors, for possession of coveted thrones, exercised but little influence upon the character and condition of the people. Civilisation was progressive, and, as we have before remarked, it mattered little whether it was a weak-minded, or a benevolent and vigorous monarch, that ruled the destinies of the people. The vices and follies of weak and vicious sove reigns only tend to spur the people to acts of regeneration, if civilisation is an element in their social system. When, how ever, we come to consider the present aspect of affairs in India, we find a very different state of things existing. The mutiny that has taken place involves the very existence of civilization in that vast empire. Upon the issue of the gigantic struggle in which we are engaged will depend whether that vast country, with its 130 millions of people, shall be ruled and governed by laws which have civilization as their foundation, and the people trained and nurtured to habits of industry, loyalty, and the principalities of Christianity, or whether they are to be permitted to relapse into all the bar barities of their past history. This is the grand question. And although every patriot—and who in such a case is not a patriot —yearns for the infliction of summary vengeance upon the murderous miscreants whose atrocities are, with out the shadow of doubt, beyond a parallel, human nature revolts at the savage butcheries and the monstrous iniquities perpetrated upon helpless women and children. Nothing that one man can do to another, no matter how savage, would be a tithe of the punishment which these miscreants merit. Our firs': duty, however, is to regain the superiority which we have lost. In doing so we must not study to imitate the barbarities of the Sepoys. Hiving hunted down the mutineers in every quarter, and dispersed them over the length and breadth of India, we should show to the 'people of India that they have to choose between the civilizing rule of Beitain and the absolute sway of a chief wh )se actions have shown that he recognises no restraints of faith or humanity, who violates the most solemn oaths, commits the most hideous bar barities, and impudently declares to the world that he can be bound by no tie of moral princip!e or personal obligation. Nor should our rulers at h )me forget the fearful character of the contest. Every energy should be put forth to meet the crisis. Against us we have an overwhelming force of rebels, the casualties of weather, and the probabilities of the prevalence of that terrific pestilence—cholera. The latest advices from India show that General HAVELOCK had to encounter this new and for midable enemy. Cholera had forced him to beat his retreat to Cawnpore, there to remain until he had cured his sick, and obtained some reinforcements. This is truly painful intellli g.snce, and shows that the bravest men, who despise all odds and diFfi.Alties, when opposed to a human force, succumb before the irresistable attacks of cholera. We only hope, with true fervency, that the God of battles may so preserve our soldiers' health and strength, although subjected to the ravages of an Indian climate, that they will have conquered a peace. convinced the mutineers of the superior military prestige of England, and taught the population of India to respect conquerors who, although powerful, are just and merciful in their dealings with foreign dependencies. IT is, at all times, an unpleasant duty, to find fault with a public body like the Birkenhead Police, but, as public journalists, we are, in the discharge of our public duty, constrained to ignore private feeling on this, as on every other matter which appertains to the public weal. We are not of those who would find fault, unnecessarily, with the manner in which Police officers discharge their duties, knowing, as we do, that, as a body, they are obnoxious to a very large section of the community ; on the contrary, we would afford them every possible encourage ment, and award them all due credit while they acted strictly within the limits of their duties ; but when we are in possessi of authenticated statements, charging individual members of the force with committing acts, or, rather, outrages, grossly illegal and unconstitutional—and when it is indicated that the whole body are united in a common brotherhood as it were, which organi sation has the effect of securing immunity to its various members from punishment, however flagrant or unconstitutional their conduct may have been—such a combination as this, amongst such a body, is fearful to contemplate. Let but an individual give offence, and he is for ever a marked man. Of this we have evidence in abundance. We published, a short time ago, a letter, from a party who gave his name and address, com plaining of a gross outrage to which he had been subjected, by this truly inquisitorial and irresponsible gendarmerie of Birkenhead, The THE NORTHERN TIME S.-LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21. 1857. story told by the individual in question, accords precisely with many others of a somewhat similar kind, which have recently been brought under our notice. He says, "I had occasion to pass some waste land at the back of Conway-street, on my way home on Saturday evening. I was accosted by a policeman, who demanded my business and seize I my parcel. I told him I was going home, and looked at his number. lie then struck my hat over my face, and took from under my arm a pair of old shoes I was carrying home. I told him his conduct was improper, and I would go to the office and report him. I went accordingly, and when stating my case, the policeman came in, and charged me as a suspicious character. Oc his charge I was booked; although I had referred them to a respectable party, to whom I was known. My papers were taken from me, and all perused by the officers, and I was locked up in Thidewel until Monday morning, when I was brought before the magistrate, by whom I was remanded until Tuesday, when I was discharged ; a gentleman, to whom I was known, having satisfied the magistrate of my respectability. Before being liberated however. I had to pay nine shillings for accommodation !" Such is the statement of our correspondent, Mr. NEAME, of whom we know nothing. But we wish to ask the authorities of Birken head what they have done in the matter. The charge, and it is a grave one, has been before the public long enough to have enabled the magistrates to have investigated it thoroughly and pronounced on its truth or falsehood. Has anything of the sort been done ? We believe not. It matters not how gross the conduct of their officers may be, the magistrates are, it seems, ready to throw their protecting shield over them . But they may rest assured such conduct will not always escape without meeting its just deserts. What ! is it come to this ; that a person going to the Police office, to prefer a complaint against an officious policeman, is to be (out of revenge) charged as a felon, deprive I of his liberty for days and nights, and mulcted in a very heavy penalty, ere he can again procure it ? monstrous. We read of oriental and continental despotisms, and we shudder at the outrages perpetrated on the unhappy wights of those lands, and we rejoice that we live in a free country. A fre e country, forsooth ! Where is the freedom, when an organised Police can, with impunity, commit the acts• which these men have been recently charged with committing. It is something more than disgraceful to the Cheshire Magistrates that they have not long ere this instituted a searching investigation into the doings of this confederacy. Their apathy is positively criminal. Charges of the most serious kind have been preferred against them ; yet no steps have been taken to investi gate these. But if the magistrates 'cannot, or will not, perform their duty, they may rest assured we shall not neglect ours, nor shall we fail to denounce, in the manner it deserves, conduct such as has been recently displayed by the Birkenhead Police—conduct which is a reproach alike to Christianity and civilisation. A combination such as this has been de scribed to us, must not, cannot, be tolerated in any country having any pretensions to free insti tutions. Orange or Ribbon confedracies, with their burning passions, their fierce hatred, their blood-thirsty spirit of revenge, their certain tendency to perjury, and the grossest immorality of every kind, are not the elements of which an honest, respectable, well-disciplined police force ought to be composed. Yet, if we are not much misinformed, such are the constituents of that body in Birkenhead. WANT or SoLnizas IN INDIA.—The Indian government is straini'rg every nerve to col!ect the troops wirhin its reach. Tha Globe states that "the Pottinger, the Assaye, and a small sailing vessel have been sent back to the Mauritius to c - mvey another wing of the 33rd, a troop of Artillery, and a wing of the 4th to Bombay. Captain Griffiths J3nkens has been despatched to the Cape with the. Chusan, the Madras, and the England, screw ships of 1,000 tons each. The Himalaya has also been sent from Calcutta to the Cape." Tae Leader enters its protest against the present system of literary purling, and olaerves that when, after all forms of pufiling have been tried in vain, the book rerwtins unsold, a fresh title-page is printed. The volume formerly called " The War in the Panjaub," is now culled " Ths Bengal Mmin3.'" , Misery," a tale of appalling interest. re-appears as "Woe ! Woe !" a work wt.i , l should be in every young lady's hands. It will come out next year as " Lualine ; or, the Story of an Anguished Heart." We shall be t .1.1, " Tnis is a fiction of surpassing power," But who will tell us ? One who would as wi:lingly indite the pr she of a pill or a psletot as promote the iramortllity of "Eialine." There may be no vice, ro d;sh , n‘szy in the practice; but if it m's'eads the public, it is at least per nicious, and out t) k sown for what it The Atlas thinks there must be some such weighty reason as the personal convenience of Soasebody'a Cousin— or surely even our governmert would not, at the present crisis, subject the public to an unnecessary suspense of two or three days in waiting for Indian news, as it does, by sill insisting that the deep atchos in anticipation of the overland mail; shall be seat via Cagliari. Cagliari is four, if not fire de) s' sail from Alexaedria,evea for a quick steamer; so that, when the mai's have safely passed the perils of the Indian Ocean and the desert five days, setae time must elapse ere any telegraphic Ina: of their contents can be pat in motion. Now, there happens to be a city called Constantinople, which is only two days' sail from Alexandria, and from which city there is a telegraphic communication all the way to London. The question then arises, why not send the mails from Alexandria to Conslaetinople, and telegraph the nature of their contents from Constantinople to Lon. don ? Oae objection has been urged to this, that the line ottelegtapWc oommunicatin with the Turkish capital runs through Austrian territory, and our Cl•vernment would rather trust their secrets in safer keeping than' the hands of our great Imperial (we beg pardon, and Royal) German ally. Very good ; but are they in safer keeping now ? What guarantee have we for the fidelity of the Sardinian and French goveraments to our own intlreets in preference to that of the Austrian ? During the Crimean war, when Austria was more tin half siding with our enemy, she transmitted our messios for us faithfully. Barely, now we are on such tremendously affectionate terns with her, she may be relied upon for the performance of the same friendly office? At any rate, the short cat might be tried ; and, in the event of saythiur like a hitch, we could rettrn to the old roundabout route, as betas. But the fact ig, Austria is not the objection. Depend upon it, we were rig'at in our original surmise. The Saturday Review says, the difficulty of providing for the security of India, by a force exclusively European, is perreetly enormous. The expense would be such as to paralyse the Indian exchequer, and to put a stop to almost every public work which carries with it the promise of material progress; for it must be remembered that, in additisa to the ordinary co9'. •f a gnat army, the funds must be forthcoming for a regular system of reliefs oo the largest scale. The more we keow of India, the clearer it becomes that, to meet Europeans, the country is one long disease; and no plan of reconstruction is for a moment admissible, which does not involve machinery for reviring the health and vitality of our soldiers, by periodical sojourn in a temperate climate. There are other considerations which have less force et present thae at °nat. time - . Ex - ceptional measares sten! for the moment in need of no justifilst'on ; but, is the long ran, we shall assuredly chafe at the ju lgment which our critics in Europe and Americ.s will not be slow to pass on oar damiricm, if it b allowed t• rest permanently on the bayonets of a foreign uldiery. Our Indian empire will be ec►reely mare in harmony with our situation in Europe, if we adopt the Asstiian principle of playing natienalities against each other, by committicg the guardianship of the Bengal province to Ghoorkas and Sikhs, who have no more affinity for Ilindoos, than a Turk h te for an Irishman or a Swede. AMUSEMENTS, &c. ZOOLOGICAL G 011Y3.N4.—The closing of the present season of this really beautiful place cf recreation, we oblerv-, is fast drawing near, as the present is advertised to bo the last week. That the eclat with which the past has been carried on, and may be continued to the close, the proprietor, Mr. Atkins, has determined to have a series of " festivals" on each of the next five days, com mencing with the present Monday, c.nl on which occasion the amusements will be of mere than ordinary magnitude. In addition to the usual novelties. Miss Julia Pastraae, the "Nondescript," will hol I two]levees. when, no doubt, fr,en the interest created by this " lady." great exciterneet will ensue, more particuleriy, as we have been informed, this is to be the'" last appearance in Liverpool." Not only as a subject of intetest to the general public, we can certainly recommend the "Nondescript" to the further consideration of the medical and scientific. This young person is related to have been fjund, when an iaf int, in a cave in a wild part of Spanish India, hundreds of miles away from any human habiteion. She was receiving nourishment from one of the females of the tribe of Digger Indians, and it is also stated that the part of the world where the woman and child was discovered, abound vviih monkeys, baboons, and bears, and the delicate inference is therefore obvious. She singe well, both English and Spanish, and her dancing possesses all the grace of a ball room belle. In reference to the al fresco entertainments, they will be of a most !varied and unusual attractive nature, affording ntaltitudinous opportunities for varied and instructive recreation. Mr. Capeland's continued kindness enables the " Choreographic Troupe" of Mademoiselle Je?.ny Lanni also to aid to the many features of these " festivities," and from the ktman high artistic taste, classical tableaux, and really enchanting danc:ng of thes e fair dansues, together with the assistance of Signor John La . uri and Signor Charles Lauri. the B allet amesetwents in the Theatre at these Gardens is of a first rate character. Should the weather prove favourable, we doubt net the concluding portion of the season will prove highly pleasing to the thousands who patronise the place, and, we trust, also pecuniarily satisfactory to the proprietor. THE MORMONS. Yesterday, a large number of people assembled in Parliament Fields for the purpose of hearing a dis cussion on Mormonism, but Major Greig interfering, nothing but a lecture on the errors of Mormonism was delivered by Mr. Bennett. That gentleman commenced by giving a description of the Book of Mormon, from the writing of Orson Pratt and others, and proceeded to examine the evidence on which the Mormon tribe rest the Divine auther:ty. He at some length demolished the fictions regarding the finding' of the G Hen Plates by Joe Smith, and read the evidence of John Spalding and Matilda Davidson, proving. that one &lowan Spalding wrote the book which Jsseph,Stnith bad printed for the purpose of deluding his fellow min. The lecturer alluded to the Salt Lake settlements, an I denounced in no measured terms the practices of that spot belonging to the Latter Day Saints, wh . ose tenan's "insult alice the feelings of common sense and religion." He would put down such blasphemies by the arm of tha law, and, in conclnsion, hoped that the assernlily wculd use all their exertions against the so-called saints. THE COURT, &c. BALMORAL, Friday, Sept. 13.—Tier Majesty went yes_ terday to the Shiel of Alt na Guissach. Lady Churchill is in attendance on her Majesty. His Royal Highness the Prince Consort, after enjoying a day's deer stalking in Glen Gelder, joined the Queen at Alt na Guissach. The different members of the royal family remain at Balmoral. The precise time of the return of the Queen and Prince to the Castle is at present uncertain.
