We are yet without any telegraphic despatch of the Overland Mails.; but we may at any - moment be put in possession of news from that portion ot the British possessions. The news by the forth. coming mail is looked forward to with much interest, as it will, in all likelihood, contain some of the details concerning the fall of Delhi, and may, probably, bring the glad tidings of the relief of Lucknow. Let us hope for the best. The banquet given by the Lord Mayonof London, on Monday night, was attended by several of the present Ministry, at which they took occasion to descant upon the affairs of India. Lord Panmure declared that the recruiting for the army had been most successful, and that considerable military ardour had evidently been invoked by what had occurred in India. The Premier contented himself with uttering complimentary and general observa tions respecting what had been done to suppress the revola and in the course of doing so he eulo gised the conduct of Lord Canning in such a way as to intimate that the Governor General had his entire confidence. The other Cabinet Ministers will consider this indiscreet, for it is now well understood that they have opposed his lordship in his desire to retain Lord Canning in power. If we are not misinformed, Lord Palmerston stood alone in the Cabinet in thinking that the present Governor general of India, should be retained at his pose The Premier also appeared to be firmly of opinion, judging from his observations, that the army which has gone out to India would be all-sufficient to make that empire tranquil. There seems to be no change foe the better ie the state of Commereial affairs. It was rumoured yesterday afternoon that one or two private banking firm: in London had secunibed to the pressure ot the times, batt.we are yet without any confirma tion of the statement. In Glasgow, yesterday, there was a veey severe run upon the banks for gold, but so far, we are happy to say, all claims were promotly met. The Shareholders of the Borough Bank had a meeting yesterday, at which the following; resolutions wore unanimously passed. lste—That the B inking Company, called the Li verpool Borough Bank-. be forthwith registered as a Company under the Joint Stock Banking Com panies' Act of 1,857. 2 id.—That the thanks of the meeting are due, and arc hereby given, to the. Committee of Shareholders, for their valuable ser vices, and that they be requestel to continue to render their assistance. 3rd.—That this meeting be adjourned till Tears lay, the 12:h inst. at two o'cloek, for the purpose of allowing the comnany to be registered in the mean rime under the Joint such registration beitidefl'ac - ted, to receive Worn the Directors a statement cf the affairs and concerns of the Company, and to take into consideration the propriety of winding up voluntarily under the provisions of the said act, or of taking auch other proceedings es might be deemed expedient. We understand that it is the intention of the Directors and shareholders, to start the bank on anew basis, as .soon as its present dill' lilies are got over, and under a new management, a new name, and the Joint Stock Company Act, of 1857. they lojk for ward to for a prosperous career. We regret to say, that several failures are announced to-day, and that others are expected to ollow. The serious fall in produce and goods of every description, men; endanger the position of many of those who have large stocks on nand, especi Illy as so much difficulty is experienced in getting bills discounted.. It is not the mere question cf 3 or 4 per cent. in the minimum that solely produces inconvenience, but the stop which it puts to business, and the almost. insurmountable difficulties thrown in the way of those houses which, although highly re spectable, do not hold first rank in the commercial scale. The question is asked by a London con. temporary, 4. Will any one venture to say that 10 per cent. is a ruinous rate?" It may not be so to the merchant princes, but what becomes of second and third rate .firms, which in the aggregate are of far greater importance theta their more powerful competiters, who, with all their imputed wealth and prestige, do not pass through the ordeal unscathed. How is it, if the rate is not ruinous, that we hear of faatmies being closed, of mills worked on the "short time" system, and of operatives being out of employ ment. What has made, the piiees of goods decline, and produce fall to most ruinous .values? The Directors of the Union Bank of Scotland have put forth a statement to the effect that eheutars will be immediately issued to the creditors communicat ing details and suggesting measures to be pursued, which, with forbearance and calm self-possession on the part of the public, may avert many of the calamitous tlTects which would otherwise result from such a eatastropha. There is Scarcely .another bank in Scotland (they ado) which. if time as allowed by the creditors, is so able to draw upm the rescources of its wealthy proprietary. The heldees of the notes of the bank are endoinen not to Net Nvith them .at a diseouut, as lull ultimate payment is certain When Dr. LiYingstone visited 14 , !eds, the Chem. ..ber of Commerce of that town adopted memorials to Lord Clar,%ndon, reqtzesting him to use his : influence with the Portuguese government to .-iseetture the free, nxvigation of the Zambesi, and w „give that freedom of transit. and _freedom of carn mercial in the Portuguese colonies, on both the west and g.last rousts ut Africa, which are necessary, in order to develop° the resources of these colonies, as well as of the native districts The memorials were presented an tlie;sth instant to Lori Clarendon, by Lord Goderich and General • Thortlpsan. The :latter gentleman writes to say, that Lord Clarendon listened most attentively to the statement which we made to him, and gave us very sirisfact9ry assunceec es to the intentions or the goverriment. Dr. Livingstone, he sail, would proceed t,) Lisbon with the strongest recommenda tions both to the king and (I,3vernment of Portu gal, and he azsufed Lord GoderiOi that he would receive the hearty support of our Minister at that Court in his elf , rts to secure the freedom of the w.vigation of .the ZThesi, an I the utmost facilities • Pier commercial intercourse wiih the interior of 1 , 4frica, It wou'd appear that LO r d Clarendon is fulZy impressed with the necessity- of encouraging the growth. of Cotton by ail praeleal meant'.

Of Conti9ental news there is not a great variety %lay; yet it is of tta interesting description. Trie THE NORTHERN TIMES. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1857 formation, at Brussels, of a new Ministry thoroughly liberal, which in Belgium means anti catholic, is the most important news from the Continent. This turn in the politics of our constitutional neighbour was to be foreseen from the time of that great and somewhat violent agitation, to which the education bill of the late government gave rise. A direct connection between that outbreak and the present change of government is established by the entrance into the the cabinet of some of the statesmen who on that occasion led the opposition, and particularly of M. Frere Urban, the favouite of the liberal masses. The new ministry wishes to govern with a new Chamber, and thus a dissolution, after a short time, of the present Chamber, whose majority is catholic, forms one of the arrrngetnegts between them and King Leopold. The withdrawal of the late ministry who commanded a small, but distinct majority in the chamber, was principally caused by the issue of the municipal elections, a fortnight ago, in which their adherents almost everywhere were beaten by overwhelming majorities. This they interpreted to mean that neither they nor the chamber had any longer the majority of the electors with them, and unwilling to give up their opinions, but afraid to govern against public opinion, they told the King that he had better look to the safety of his throne. It must not be supposed, however, that the catholic party in Belgium have grown so weak as the mucipal elections considered in themselves seem to indicate. The Etoile du Danube of Brussels publishes the report presented by a committee to the Divan of Wallachia in the sitting of the 21st ult., which recommends the union of Moldavia and Wallachia, the election cf a foreign prince to reign over them, and the establishment of a representative system of govere - ment. It is known that the Divan passed resolu tions in accordance with these recoLemendations which scarcely differ from those previously men tc.ried in the report presented by the committee of the Divan of Moldavia. The screw-steamer Kangaroo arrived off Queens town yesterday afternoon. She will .arrive in the Mersey to-day, an 3, in all probability, will bring us tidings regarding the (ff_.ct of the Persia's news from England. WE have more than once taken occasion to animadvert upon the conduct of Lord CANNING as Governor-General of India, and express it as our opinion that his lordship had given abundant evidence of his unfitness to occupy that high, important, but critical office at the present juncture. Since we last wrote upon the subject, two important official personages have volunteered a vindication of Lord CANNING'S Indian policy. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE and Lord GRANVILLE played their parts well at the Guildhall of L - mdon, on Wednesday. Nothing could be more admirable than the nice little farce of e Not as bad as it seems," which they performed with the view of making the public think that Lord CANNING was " courageous, indefatigable, energetic," and " industrious." These are very good qualities, as far as they go, but the Governor-General of India must have others, both of head and heart, before his advocates in the Government can induce the people of this country, or even India, to regard him " the right man in the right place." We have objected to Lord CANNING not only for sins of " omission," but sins of " commis sion." His lordship, it is well known, had not ranterimate knowledp-a . of India. and flip, pa -01 its people. necessary to cope wan the savage and wide spread mutiny which burst forth as a mighty avalanche in the province of Bengal. Nor could he give any evidences of military conception and stratagem, so necessary in the supreme ruler in a contest noted for fierceness, determination, and magnitude. The want of these qualities more than counterbalanced the sterling qualities set forth by L)rd GRAN VILLE. But, diplomatist though his lordship may be, and cunningly but earnestly though his advocacy of Lord CANNING was, we must put in a demurrer and say, that anyone who has read carefully the official account of the Cawnpore massacre, must be convinced that the Indian authorities, with Lord CANNING as Governor- General, displayed a want of foresight, an evident trucking to the mutinous Sepoy, and, therefore, symptoms of cowardice which has told harassing and bloody tales, too cruel and shocking for the minds of civilised beings to reflect upon. Where was the " energy" or the " courage" of his lord ship when he sanctioned, nay, authorised, Mr. GRANT to usurp the functions of General NAIL% and set at liberty his prisoners of war, caught in the very act of high treason to the Sovereign of England, and brutalising, torturing, and mur daring the faithful and loyal subjects of that sovereign —men, women, and children ? It is a principle of military warfare, that the more prompt and decisive the blow aimed at the enemy, the more humane and merciful is the conqueror. Lord CANNING set at nought this principle, and hence the promulgation of those most reprehensible instructions respecting the treatment of S.Toy prisoners. Hence, also., the liberation of the 150 miscreant murderers by Mr. GRANT. Ind.epmdent of the baneful conse quences which such an act must exercise upon ; the mutineers, it is one calculated to sow more or less the seeds of disaffection in the minds of our own brave s They cannot help , regarding the act as one which places them in a false position, preventing them from obtaining that fall satisfaction for all the hardships, incon veniencies, privations, and cruelties to which they and their helpless Wives and children have been exposed. Taken in this light, a more reprehensible and mischievous proclamation, or one better calculated to encourage the mutineers, could not be issued. No wonder, therefor..., that Lord GRANVILLE, when addressing the company at the Mansion House, on Wednesday evening, was forced to exercise a little diplomatic caution, and decline to venture an opinion upon the " Proclamation" . in question. His lordship's apologetic explanations respecting it, while, at the same time, be declined to venture an opinion as to its expediency and justice, reminds us of an Old Bailey lawyer, pleading with the most solemn earnestness for the acquittal of a henious mut.- derer, althongh he had the prisoner's confession . . of guilt in hi s poc k et. Wh at w ill the Plwlla • think, what estimate can it form of the force and value of Lord GRANVILLE'S defence of Lord CANNING, when it finds him approving of the doctrines laid down by the American Ambassador —that where a people commit crimes that con stitute their perpetrators what pirates are, what Cannibals in the Fejee Islands are—enemies of the human race—and meriting, not from one nation, not from one people, but from the whole human race, summary and peremptory extirpa tion—and at the same time bolstering up every act of his protege, and, we believe, noble relative ? We know that the special pleading in such matters of Lord GRANVILLE will have as much weight with the people as the mountebank oratory of CHEAP JOHN, alias a travelling auctioneer, Lastly, if anything could have satisfied the Government that Lord CANNING was unfit to act as Governor-General of India, it was the memorial of the leading European residents in Calcutta and elsewhere. These memorialists had the means and opportunity of observing the passing events of the day. They, too, were well aware of the power, inclination, and determination of the enemy, and were, therefore, well able to calculate upon the occurrences which took place. Their remonstrances has been unheeded, and the nobleman whom they pronounced as unfit is forced upon them as Governor-General during a struggle that has no parallel for atrocity and barbarism. Lord GRANVILLE feels that the matter will not rest where it is, and that Parlia ment will demand explanation and invest:gation. This was a fine pretext for declining to say what the Government thought of the whole affair. NOTWITHSTANDING the discouraging position in which the affairs of the country are placed, and when the fearful results of a monetary and commercial crisis, with gloomy forebodin2s regarding our position and prospects in India, occupy the public mind generally, it is satisfac tory to notice the praiseworthy efforts which the leading Statesmen'of the day are making on behalf of that most important of all social questions— National Education. It is now quite evident that the public will not rest satisfied until the problem which has been so long a source of party feeling and keen debate in the Senate, the pulpit, the plat form, and the Press, is fairly considered and fully solved. Am mg the great Educational Reformers of the present day we must rank that veteran nobleman, Lord BROUGHAM, who has just been among us for the distinguished purpose of inaugurating the Queen's College. But others, although much later in the field, are taking up the question and advocating it with an earnest ness of purpose and moderation of views, which lints them infinite credit, and cannnt fail to p..ouce We allude, particularly, to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord STANLEY, and Sir JOHN PAICINGTON. It is an encouraging sign of the times to perceive such distinguished Statesmen throwing aside their minor differences and petty jealousies and joining together for the purpose of promoting the mental and moral illumination of the people, without dis.inction of sect, class, or creed. That distinguished American divine, the Rev. Dr. CHANNrNo, was, in his day, an earnest advocate for the diffusion of knowledge. But like everyone who has thought over the subject, lie felt that to extend and improve the education of the people we must begin with the Elicator; he somew here writes, " One of the surest signs of the re-gener ation of society, will be the elevation of the Art of Teaching to the highest rank in the community;" Dr. CUANNING was right, and so,. also, was that great philantrophist, PEsTALozzr, when he instilled that memorable maxim into all his pupils. " As the Teacher is, so will be the school," is not less true that " As the school is, so will be the scholar." Sir JOHN PAKINGTON, and those who labour in the cause of Education, are constantly deplor ing the evil pf children being taken from school at such an early age, and put in the factories or other places, where their juvenile labour can find employment. Now, it strikes us that if the Educators of the present day were equal to the requirements of their high and important voca tion, we should see children following- up the instructions and training which they received in the Elementary Schools. The thirst for sound and useful knowledge would lead them to Evening Sthools or Mechanics' Institutions. They. would not require to be forced to attend such places; every evening would find them longing to be released from the labours of the day, so that they could pursue their favourite studies, whether it be " language," " science," art," or any other department of literature and instruction. It is, then, by means of a thoroughly efficient race of teachers that this thirst for knowledge can be created in the minds of yeung people, and once it is created, there would not be any necessity for the adoption of such a resolution as .Lieutenant -Colonel TOWNLEY moved at Burnley, on Wednesday last, on the occasion of distributing the prizes awarded by the Council of the East Lancashire Union of Mechanics' Institutions. The purport of the resolution alluded to was " That it was desirable to induce the scholars of the Day Schools to continue their education by attendance on Evening Classes when they leave the Day Schools, and to enter Mechanics' and Literary Institutions when they are of ripe years for instruction. Entertaining these views, as the result of long and anxious study of the question of National Education, we are desirous of seeing the attempt at its extension and improvement proceed from true principles. How can it be expected that a race of teachers will leave a lasting impression upon the pupils mind, if they do net proceed in expanding and cultivating all those mental facul ties and moral and religious sentiments which are planted in every sane being for wise and holy purposes ? And what reason have we to expect that the shoolmaster and schoolmistress of the lower classes can qualify themselves aright for an office, the emoluments of which and the status in society that it confers are, in many instances, below that awarded to a clerk in a merchant's office, or the liveried and peruked footman of my lord this, or squire that. We do not see much good in agitating the question of Educational Reform without making the character and position of the Educator a main element in the scheme. Another consider ation connected with the subject is, the entrusting the direction and control of the educational machine to those persons only, who have made the teaching of youth a matter of practical experience, and who are, thereby, conversan t with it as an art and a science. In fact, we would select every officer connected with the administration of National Education from the ranks of practical teachers. If we are to have a Minister of Instruction, we can get practical Educators for the post, without entrusting the office to some scion of nobility, whose only recommendation is, that he is closely connected with the leading members of the aristocracy. Again, we are not much in favour of compulsory assessments for the support of our schools, and it becomes a question for deep and earnest consideration whether we should not break through national prejudice and enact a law, compelling the attendance at school of all children of certain ages. Other countries, with less pretensions to civilisation, have acted upon the principles enunciated in this article, particularly as regards the social position and professional attainments of the teacher. Take Prussia, for example. There, a first and essential step towards increasing the authority and influence of the schoolmaster was. to raise the office in public estimation. This was accomplished by connecting it with the State. The schoolmasters salary is paid out of the public purse; a provision, too, is made for his old age, or for the maintainance of his family, should he be cast off while still young. In ceasing to be the recipient of the pence and shillings of the scholars, the instructor rises in their respect, and attains a position in which he can acquire a moral influence, superior in its effects to any system of artificial rewards and punishments that ingenuity can devise. There is a regular gradation, from the modest village schoolmaster, hunau,,, /1011.:Ji, 111 ms own sphere, to the Minister of State, for the department of Public Instruction ; and merit, not favour or seniority, is the guide to promotion. These are the true principles of the economies of Education, and we hope the agitation now going on in this country may lead us to imitate Prussia in her E lucational means and appliances. TUE social position of Ireland has been one o f considerable quietude for the last three or four years. The only exceptions are the party feuds at Belfast. The tide of crime has, however, begun to flow into Tipperary, a county noted for deeds of desperation and daring. We have already given the details of the murder of Mr. JOHN Ews. These particulars clearly show that nothing was wanting in this particular case to render that assassination a full and complete type of the old agrarian homicide which, for a long series of years, rendered Ireland a bye-word and a disgrace to the British Empire. Mr aids being a Scotchman and a Protestant, was obnoxious to the peasantry of Tipperary, as an " alien," a stranger, and an obtruder. offence was that of exercising ownership of pro perty, and serving some of the tenantry on an estate, which he had purchased in the Encum bered Estates' Court, with notices of ejectment. For this offence he was brutally murdered. The Lynch-law of Tipperary was dealt out to him for exercising an undoubted and constitutional right —a right which reason, common sense• and Divine revelation alike sanction and enforce. The Lord of Life has laid down an emphatic princi ple on this very subject. In the parable of the vineyard, he asks the grumbling labourer this most important question—" Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with my own 2 " The " boys of Tipperary" think otherwise; and have recourse to bludgeons, and other destructive weapons, to enforce their principles of meum and teum. This is the old tactics of Munster, a province which has so often figured in such unholy deeds; and we are afraid that they will continua to disgrace that portion of the British Empire unless there is a bold and determined stand made against the abominable system. No grievance, civil, religious, or social, under which the Irish population labour, could justify, or, in the slightest degre., palliate such a crime as the assassination of Mr. ELLis. le-could not be accused of exacting rack rents. The peasantry were in good employment, and obtaining a com fortable existence, the wages for their laboUr being higher than they have ever been before. Even the Vice-Regal favours are disposed of to the Roman Catholic population, whilst their priests are courted and feted at Dublin Castle. The party is subsidized in all the great depart- ments of the State, and the national exchequer mad,: to bleed year by year a heavy sum for the education of their children. There has not been an alleged grievance for some years. Neverthe less, agrarian outrages have again exhibited their hideous mien, and innocent and unoffending gentlemen are brutally murdered. The reflecting portion of the community will ask themselves the question, is there a cause for such diabolical effects? It cannot be that men will plunge their hands into human blood for mere sport or pastime, and deprive their fellow being of life without a powerful motive. Robbery was not the impelling power, for we are told that there was no less a sum than 801. left on the person of the mur dered man. It is most desirable to trace this renewal of agrarian outrages to its legitimate source. Not long since certain outrages were committed in the extreme North of Ireland, the object of which was to expel certain English and Scotch farmers who bad rented the pasturage of mountain lands in Donegal. About 1,000 of their sheep were destroyed, houses were pulled down, and the lives of the strange shepherds threatened in the most violent manner. This caused the county authorities to saddle the localities with the amount of damage inflicted, which drew forth a remonstrance, and a petition was got up and presented to Parliament, which partly denied, and partly justified, these out rages. That document denounced the introduction of British capital on the lands of Ireland, as an intrusion and an oppression which it was justifi able to exterminate. The history of the petition was somewhat remarkable. It purported to have some two thousand signatures, but when submitted to the Secretary of the Committee on Petitions, it was found that it only contained three genuine signatures, and these three were Roman Catholic Priests. This was certainly a flagrant violation of the privileges of Parliament. Yet the Government took no notice of the affair, and the Irish authorities have not had the courage to enforce the payment of the amount assessed for the damage done to the sheep. Now, we must look upon this as a great triumph for the Ribbon Conspiracy. It is only in such secret and iniquitous councils that deeds of the kind are concocted. After this came the declarations of the Romish hiarchy in Ireland, regarding the mutiny in India. Then followed the memorable, but truly disloyal, manifestoes of the men of Tipperary, regarding the nefarious Sepoys of Bengal. These documents counselled rebellion and sedition, and even some of the public journalists so far forgot themselves, as to give expression to sentiments truly disloyal and treasonable. The very paper containing the first account of the murder of Mr. Eems, contains the copy of a placard posted on the gates of a chapel in Tipperary, calling upon the Irish people to avail themselves of the opportunity that offers, of freeing their necks from the iron grasp of English taskmasters. That same week, Mr. alas, the Saxon invader, was butchered. In justice to life and property this system must be put down• The law is quite competent to deal with these crimes, and the Executive should not look on with indifference at scenes which are only equalled by the atrocities of the S ,•poy. Much was said and made of the street-preaching riots at Belfast, but they are nothing to the agrarian doings of the people of Tipperary. Tile Government has been remiss in its duty, and the voice of an indignant people should force them to deal a signal chastisement upon blood-hounds who know ne law, and are devoid of every feeling of humanity, and all those principles which go to make up the character of civilised beings. Oua readers will not have been surprised at the Election of Mr. JAMES HOLME to the Mayoralty, in preference to Mr. Alderman PRESTON, on Mon day. This result hat been shadowed forth clearly enough in the various articles which have recently appeared in our columns on the subject, and it proves how truly we estimated the value of those Liberal clap-traps resorted to by some, at all events, of the candidates at the late election. There are certain of those instances of tergiversation that are truly disgusting, as showing that in the " Hade4 of Toryism," beneath the lowest depths, there is a lower still. It is only a, little wool.: ago, since some of those men, who, on Monday, voted for the Tory Candidate, were loudly denouncing faction, and everything connected with it, and pretending to be overflowing with indignation at the bare Insinuation of their ever having owned allegiance to the party; yet, on the very first opportunity which presented itself of recording their .votes, they rush forward and belie all their previous a3sertions.. Seeing that the delusions had answered the purpose, they throw off the mask,and stand before the world in their true characters. Whore now is their sincerity? Where is the proof that they d2sired that politics should be excluded from the Town-hall ? Where is their independence of party, or individual influence? Let Mn. HOLME'S election of Monday, furnish the answer. True by a species of brute force, they succeeded in pitohforking him into the civic chair ; but they have done him no honour thereby, while they have disgraced themselves, and proved that no speeieaof conciliation will satisfy the rampant spirit of bigotry and intolerance by which they are ' now, and ever have been influenced. Talk of ignoring politics in the council, forso3th, in the face of Monday's exhibition—yes, when parties are once fairly balanced ; then indeed there may be some feasibility iu such a proposition, but so long as the Tory faction are, as they have unfortunately so long been so much in the ascendent, so long will they continue to ride, rough shod, over the p )pular. voice. Surely the insult offered on Mouiay, to the independence and iutellifonce of this community will not fail to teach the Liberals a lesson for their Future guidance. In one sense it is not undeserved, for there has been an amount of apathy displayed by the party of late years , which I°lll4s° fl palliation. on 3 " 1 The speeches of the propose r, and lifee to tif Mr. PRESTON, were alike, eloque nt, argnuleli and truthful; but what then ?
