It will be seen that tin majority, if not the whole, call out for vengeance on the Sepoys. It is asserted by some that we have employed the violence of tyrants without their policy, that we have plundered the native poptfation, and in no way promoted the moral and mate' ial progress of the territories Ruder our charge. On the other hand, it is asserted, by the advocates of Loa lenball-streea that we have regenerated India, that we have accomplished more than could have been expected, and that our Government has omitted none of the duties ap pertaining to a conquering Soste, whose arms have reduced more than a hundred millions of men to absolute, political, and social dependence. The truth is, that both these views are intensely over coloured, but the latter is mere accurate than the former. We have committed many blunders in the East, we have forgot en many responsibilities, we have sometimes treated es a property that which was only a trust; of recent years especially •ur representatives in the East have been supine; we have selected them from a lower order; Canning sits in the place of Haetioes, Mangles in that of Elphinstene, Vernon Smith in that of Minto. An improved system of police might easily have been established, wi h railway extensions, a mitigated' land tax, a more liberal trade in salt, and other reforms, praetical and finan cial, which would have operated greatly to the benefit of the people of India. Bu', as a London cotemperary remarks, only ignorance- or bigotry can venture to essert that, upon the whole, our supremacy has not been a blessing ; that we have not redeemed matey devastated provinces; that we have not considerably humanised the natives ; that we have failed to vindicate our colas plete authority, not only over the petty ancient princes, but over the Brahmieical despotisms, and those gorgeous Moguls whoa:" monuments of encaustic and marble were reared amid the groans and sufferings of innumerable millions. The Times of yesterday has a long anicle on Indian affairs; the writer m lintaining, that it is the duty of the Government to put the best man in a place, but that in eases where he must act on the inspiration of the moment, we must respect tnat inspiration, and not censure, clog, or discourage him, unless there should be a very strong case, indeed, agaiusi him. The Indian Government, however, has taken the contrary course. Daring the las': two months the successive mails have brought the se.ri,us intelligence that from Allahabad to Calcutta every city was fester ing with conspiracy and menaced with open ie surrection, and that large bodies of mutineers were roving about, at no great distance, in corres pondence with traitors wi,hin. At Calcutta and some other large cities the danger was removed by the arrival of European troops. But at One of the cities named as on the eve of an outbreak confidence was all at once restored, and the danger entirely dispelled, by the energetic measures of the civil officer left in charge of the place, by the simple exile lint of hanging up seve ral proved traitors, If we are correctly informed, the re. - 1-tapists of Calcutta have procure , ' the removal of this meritori us officer, on the ground that he ought to have sent the men to Calcutta for trial, or merely kept them under surveillance, or that he ought to have let the city go through the regular process of unbounded confidence, massacre, conflagration, long siege, tardy rescue, and so forth. We cannot respect—indeed, we utterly despise, a truckling, huckstering humanity, which shows itself at the cost of good men, and to the encouragement of traitors and villians. The repu tation to be got by such a course is cheap feet worthless ; and we trust the British people will be so much of our opinion on this point as to insist on justice being done to the victims of this base policy. The Daily News is of opinion that, come what may, India henceforth will be governed by Europeans India is ours, and will continue ours ; but to restore the tranquility which has been disturbed by the revolt of the Bengal army will cost us mush money and great efforts; and every moment's delay, occasioned by the ignorance, apathy, and indecision of our rulers, increases the expense and difficulty of the task of restoring order An Indian Reform League, inaugurated at Cal cutta, and supported by the leading merchants, lawyers, and professional men who have no connec tion with the Government, propose a changsain the political and administrative condition of India, involving the removal of all governing power from the hands of the East India Company. The League intend to press their views upon the attention of the Parliament and people of Ells land ; and beside the radical change con templated, they further demand a uniform administrati Nn of justice on the principles of English law, she abolition of stamps and all other taxes on the administretien of justice, the im provement of the police system, the revision of iscal arrangements, and the throwing open of civi employment to all Europeans (not native) with out distinction, if they only possess the necessaey qualifications. Of the inauguration of this important movement. of the names of the individuals ass-- ciated with it, and of the speeches which have been made in its defence, we learn nothing in the Auglo-Indian journals, on account of the resnic• tions placed on the liberty of the press, Wc are, however, in possession of a full report of the proceedings, and will at an early day publish them. Some gentlemen at Worcester, while anxious to subsc_ibe to the Indian Mutinies Fund, felt reluc tance to do so, in the belief that no adequate security was given for the proper administration of the money. Sir John Pakington, to whom they mentioned it, and who had heard the same feeling expressed elsewhere, wrote to the Lerd Mayor of London on the subject. The reply informs him that the fund is applied on the general principles of the address issued sometime since by the Man sion House Committee, and gives the names of the gputlemen on the Committee as a guarantee. £4O 000 has been already sent to India. It is not stated whether this has been deemed satisfactory by the Worcester gentlemen. Yesterday, at Aberdeen, was hanged James Booth, convicted of murdering his mother-in-law in July last. He denied, on the scaffold, the truth of what he said about provocation at the trial. As extraordinary a case of mistaken identity as we ever remember to hai-e heard of was brought to light in the Marylebone Police Court, London, on rues - lay. Mr. John Probert, a wealthy farmer residing in Monmouthshire, was arrested on a charge of being concerned in a robbei y of watches and gold chains at jeweller's soup ; but it was proved, on the clear and irrefutable evidence of three trustworthy witnesses, that he was on his own farm in Wales at the time of the robbery. As the magistrates ramarked, the case of alibi was most satisfactorily proved ; alid yet the principal witness for the prosecution swore positively as to the prisoner's identity with the suspected thief. It is fearful to contemplate what might have been Mr. Probert's rate had he been a man without money or friends. Ho might have been consigned to a doom which to him would have been worse than death. Of local news to-day there is very little. We report, at some length, the proceedings at two Yard meetings—Scotland-road and Abereromby. In another column►, our readers will find a full report of the proceedings that took place at the Wirral Court Lect, which Court, it has bee❑ stated, was anhilated—done away with—but it will be seen that such is not the case. Mr. Judge Grace is determined to make Mr. Christopher Bushel succumb to the jurisdic tion of the Court ; for further particulars we would direct the attention of the reader to the ample report published in another portion of to da)'s paper. The news from abroad This morning, though not of much importance, is of a very inftrc i sting ch7racter. The health of the King of Prussia has undergone no change. The intellectual faculties of his Mwjesty have not suffered, except, as it seetw, his memory. We find iu a Prus3ian paper, a rumour that the Prince of Prussia, if appointed Regent, I%ould supplant the present ministry by one of strongly pronounced liberalism. It is h'ghly improbable that the Prince, as a mere regent, should resolve upon such a step. The German Diet is to assemble in a few days. and the chi' f point of interest is whether the .qurs tion of the Danish Duehies will be brought before it. The Danish Supreme C•:uncil is convoked for the 14th of January, which shows that if the King is really inclined, as rumour says, to matte one more coacillis.tory proposition, he feels in no hurry to do so: An organ of Russian opinion, we may here 013 serve, namely, the MudUde Rune, discusses the whole Indian evestion from a somewhat d:ffrent point of view to that with which we are alcus :omed in r ngland. It argues that if there be a necessity to reconquer India, such a work will bo beyond the capacity of England, but it inti mates its opinion to be that is is a work which Europe might successfully undertake. Then what would be done for India after . Europe has reconquered it? Would it be made over to Eng land, or to France, cr to EUSSI3, or to all Our Russian cotemperary shrinks from raising such a question, but it suggests that India might be placed under European p; . oteetorate, and that a new and special work for Europe would be to discuss the propogation of civilisation among the natives of Hindes'an. The rise in the rate of discount by the Bank of France, has created some excitement in Paris. It now is 7 per cent. This rate of interest mast appear enormous to French tradesmen, since it is only by virtue of a very recent law that the Bank is enabled to charge more than 6 per cent., and this in law was never acted upon till last week, when, for the first time, the rate was put up to 6 per cent. Under such novel circumstances it would be very difli cult to say what the effect of the measure is likely to be. It is to be. feared that we shall hear of some disastrous and unusual occur rence from Ang,u.s. A receiver-general of taxes has suspended payment. The deficit is reported to be ten millions of francs The person in question was a man of large fortune, but has b3en unfor tunate in speculations at the Boursa and in the corn mai ket. A letter from Zurich states that thirty commercial houses engaged principally in the silk and ribbon busi:.ess have failed there. years, and at the end of that time we believe the Cotton Supply Association at that time will have given up all hope of help from that quarter, seeing that after the suppression of the mutiny the East India Directors will be without a shilling to expend on such works, as we have alluded to. Every penny that can be raised, by taxation or otherwise, will be required for erecting fortresses, barracks, and such like undertakings, and if is very properly hinted that should the Indian Empire be annexed to the Crown of England, it is not probable that Her Majesty's Government would make financial arrangements that were not quite indispensable. Under all these circumstances, we see clearly the East India Company are not likely to grant assistance for the objects referred to. It is not to be denied that some means must be taken to obtain increased supplies of Cotton, and that we must not be left entirely at the mercy of the United States, and it becomes a question of significance, and one in which almost every one is interested— namely, what is to hinder the proper cultivation of Cotton in India? The dacument which called forth our present remarks was subsequent to one sent to the East India Company, calling upon them to make roads, improve the navigation, and otherwise promote and extend the public works of India, so as to aid the cultivation of cotton in certain districts of India. Some may object, and say that this is a work which the American Government does not perform. True, but it gives large free grants of land for the purpose of encouraging the construction of roads and railways. There, capital and energy have the widest scope, though the cultivator of the soil is little more than a mere machine—" a hewer of wood and a drawer of water." Notwithstanding that England detests slavery in every form, prac tical experience has shown that her government in India has fettered both nature and industry, and both have been kept in servile bondage. The land system of India is bad in the extreme, and until the Government adopts another and more reasonable and equitable method of dealing with this important matter, there is little hope that any great extension or improvement can take place;in Indian Cotton cultivation. Such a system engenders the worst feelings. The cultivator of the soil—alias, the ryot—has not the means to cultivate the land as it ought to be tilled. The Indian Executive neglects —it may be refuses —to aid in the construction or repair of the roads, or to act considerately. Hence, ;an everyday experience teaches us that nothing can bring the Indian peasant nor the native merchant to perceive that they lose by adulteration. Their modes of growth and manufacture are imperfect, and their schemes of barter and buying and selling are imperfect, and without system ; uncer tainty marks the progress of industry, trade, and commerce, so that we need not wonder that, under such a system, " Indian Cotton " is generally poor in quality, and limited in the extent of growth. WE have more than once pointed out that much of the disaffection which pravails in India was more or less attributable to the want of forethought, or the . utter indifference, on the part of the Governing authorities in the respective Presidencies; and, though last not least, the East India Company. In this opinion we are borne out by the fact that there has just now made its appearance, in the public journals, the copy of a memorandum forwarded to the East India Directors, in which the various essentially necessary works " to increase the quantity and improve the quality, and reduce the cost, of Cotton exported from India," are put forward. This document has been drawn up and for warded to the Court of Directors in London, by the Cotton Supply Association of Man chester. It sets forth that, for the purposes aforesaid, it is necessary to obtain 286,0001 but that sum is not intended in any way to interfere with, or supersede the previous pro posal made by the Association to raise and apply a sum of four millions annually, for five years, in such public works as may be considered necessary for the development of the country. There is no doubt that the plans suggested by the Cotton Supply Asso ciation would, if properly carried out, do much, not only for a more extensive, but improved, culture of the Cotton plant in Ilin los tan, and by increasing its supply, and improving the quality, it would be brought into competition with that produced by the United States, the consequence of which would be a reduction in the cost. This would be of immense advantage to this country. One would have expected that a proposition, important not only to this country, but vastly more so to the native population of India, would have been seized upon by the Directors of the East India Company. Not so, however. It is true that the Secretary of the Directors, Sir JAMES MELVILLE, sends our neigh bours in Manchester a courteous reply, in which. on the part of Directors, he candidly admits the vast importance of the subject, the practical character of the suggestions, and declares that the whole matter has their warmest sympathies• But, being saddled with the war in India, it is not convenient to give directions that the suggestions" alluded to should be carried out. What does this mean ? Simply. it tells all who are anxious for the extension of Cotton in India, tosay no more about the matter for at least a couple of It is for these reasons that we commenced those remarks by asserting that the Indian mutiny owes much of its origin to the defective government of that vast empire. In the article of Cotton alone they have been most remiss. No one disputes the capability of the soil to produce large quantities of the best quality, but to do so it is requisite to construct roads, harbours, piers, &c. This the Indian Govern_ ment has neglected. 'We trust, however, when Parliament assembles, that this matter will, not escape the able and eloquent member for Bir mingham, who has more than once urged the great importance of every one interested in the welfare of India to foster and encourage the growth of Cotton there. Oa Tuesday we alluded to. the nature and objects of LORD CANNING'S order to regulate the punishment of the Sepoy mutineers, and from that and other acts of d -cided mismanagement, contended that his Lordship's re-call is an imper ative duty which the Government and the East India Company coul I not hesitate to carry into immediate execution. Truthful, indeed, are the remarks of one of our metropolitan cotemporaries in alluding to the " order." " The Governor General might have displayed a nobler trust in inborn humanity of the British civilians, and soldiers ; while he might at least have recognised the imperative demand which exists for the in fliction of a great example of power, and of justice, in avenging the devasta . ion in India." Without, however, dwelling futher upon the " order" alluded to, and the absolute nece.ssity for a change in our Indians rule, it becomes neecessary to enquire who is the most fitting man to succeed LORD CANNING. present juncture, must be a statesman who has studied the habits and dispositions of its people, and one whom the stern dictates of justice, softened', y the principles of humanity and mercy, shall guide, in all his dealings with the country and its inhabitants. The longer the struggle is protracted the more difficult will it be to attain the good wishes or secure a pure and permanent allegiance from the people of India. Hence it is that bold and instant must be our dealings with the mutineers. They must be taught the terrible extent of our power, and by the example of condign punishment for their atrocities, made to feel that their resistance to British authority, and the unparalleled massacres by which it was evinced, cann at—will not—be tolerated; and that all who aid and abet such rebellions must prepare to encounter the invincible arm of England. The merchants of Calcutta, and other influen tial residents in that city, seem to be entirely imbued with sentiments similar to the foregoing. They feel that Lord CANNING is not " the right man in the right place," and they have cast their eyes around them to look for a successor, and have come to the conclusion that Lord ELLENBOROUGH is, of all other statesmen of the present day, the one best qualified for the task of tranquilising India, and laying the founda tion for its future good and peaceful government On the breaking out of•the mutiny, Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, in!his place in Parliament, enunciated his views at some length. He spoke with authority, for his observations were the result of actual experience, The British residents in India have endorsed his sentiments with their approval. They see in him one who is possessed of the capacity for military policy and affairs, hence it is that h:s appointment would by them be regarded with satisfaction, and inspire confi dence in the tact and energy with which he would meet and deal with the crisis. We are no admirers of the political views 1121 d by Lord ELLENBOROUGH, but as we consider that as the aspect of affairs in India is of a • most serious character, it becomes the duty of the Govern ment at home to select the hest man, no matter to what political party he belongs Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, like every other public man, has his demerits as well as his merits, but if we calmly balance both together, we will not fail to observe that the latter predominate, and that, every thing considered, he is about the foremost statesman we have now got for the immediate work that there is to be done in India. He may be sneering and insulting in speech, but he is full of sagacity and vigour, two most essential elements in the Governor-General of India. His policy would be nearly the reverse of Lord CANNING, for in him the military service would have a staunch supporter. This the civilians detest and fear, and it is not at all unlikely the authorities in Thwning and Leadenhail streets may take a similar view. Lord ELLENBOROUGH has lately given publi city to his present impressions and opinions respecting India, and although his Lordship is reputed to be a man disposed to carry his point with a high hand, nevertheless in the letter which he has addressed to the members of the Winchcomb Agricultural A sociation he states " Vengeance belongs to a higher power, but to punish crime so signally as to deter all hereafter from the commission, and to vindicate our Sovereign authority, is no doubt our right, and it is our duty." His Lordship, although full of high hope respecting the victorious operations of the British army, does not consider that our Indian difficulty 1 . is not a sudden temporary danger to be repelled by sudden temporary exertion." This is the language of a man of experience, one who knows India, and can form a true estimate of all the difficulties and dangers which attend an Indian campaign. He tells us, too, that the military institutions of this country, managed as they now are, are insufficient per manently to supply the number of men required to reconquer what we have lost, and to hold our empire hereafter. in security. Sentiments such as these at once show that, however faulty in other matters Lord Ellenborough is, he has the quality of knowing the position of affairs in India, and would bring to bear upon all his experience, knowledge, and sagacity in restoring civil authority in all the provinces. We cannot, then, come to any other conclusion than what we have already intimated, that Lord ELLENBOROUGH seems to be the man for the crisis. He would not perplex, as Lord CANNING has done, by red tape routine, the military operations of the gallant Sir COLIN CAMPBELL. He would be merciful to the people of India, for his best endeavours would be to put down the mutiny, and then proceed to devise ways and means for the future government, on principles that would promote the moral and social condition of the whole population. That a most important crisis has taken place in India no one can deny. The murde s of the mutineers, and the possibility that disaffection may spread itself, and influence the native troops of Bombay and Madras, at once su_gest the ex tensive character of the contest;—a vast extent of territory, a large portion of which has. to be re compered, must be guarded and controlled by British armies. Independent of the damaging and harrassing duties of the field, the influence of climate must act most injuriously upon Euro pean soldiers. Another difficulty presents itself to our minds: the religious prejudices of the people of India will ever make the task of governing them one of much delicacy and diffi culty. The native Princes outwardly respect British rule, because they fear its power. For these reasons, the man to rule India, in the FE~SS.E REFORMATORM.—The following paper was read on Friday, in the "Punishment and Reformation 1) part mem." of the National Association for the advancement of Social Sc , ence, by Miss Carpenter, the subject being " Female Reformatories." After remarking that the sub ject hail only lately attract d public attention, since few supposed that little creatures of the softer sex could rf quire the strong arm of the law, she remarked that so far from this feeling being welt founded, a much greater amount of wicked:.ess and depravity was to be found amongst the class of girls seat to reformatories than in the correspon ding class of the • sterner sex, the reason being that girls were seldom broug'it under magisterial and reformatory jurisdiction till all other means of reelamalon had been tried in vain. The Rel. T. Carter, c)aplain of Liverp 'Ol Gaol, stated that out of 26 females in that establishment, 25 bad been imprisoned seven time, while the last bad been not lass than 57 times, the period of imprisonment to the whole 25, averaging five years ; while the experience of a magistratj who had been a oommissionez of lunacy was, THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1857 I that female culprits were, as a rule, infinitely more outrage dee than male, and were approxitnatiii3 to the menial condition of the insane. After referring to tlie formation of the Reformatory and Refuge Union, and to the new measures of Sir George Gray epo .1 the subject, she auied to her own experience as to the hardened character of female criminality, which she ascribed in most cases to the evil influences of the home associations of the female inmates of gaols and reformatories. In confirmation of her opinion, she aglin referred to the criminal statistics of the town of Liverpo)l, quoting an extract from a report on that town, which stated as a cause of the great amount of female crime, the encouragement given to girls to becolie thieves by the receivers of stolen goods, and de nounced one old woman named Nanny Hunt as the queen of demons, who brought up both her children and grand children to pursue plunder as their ordinary avocation. The report also cemaseated upon the numerous harbours for juvenile thieves as another great source, in Liverpool, of criminality. Miss Carpenter then went on to notice the physical condition of girls of the class alluded to, stating that a large proportion of them when admitted into refor matories were labouring under disease arising either from the hardships of previous imprisonment or the irregularities of their former career. In regard to their moral condition, they were all peculiarly and morbidly exeiteable, having strong wills and a diseased sensibility to harshness. At the seine time they were not pirtioularly acquisitive, their dispositions ping rather inclined to reckless generosity and she had hers:lf often left reticules containing money amongst them wi bout any fear of losing them. There were different circumstances in the case of boys and girls which necessarily rendered a different course and kind of traieieg fitted for them. Boys live to be taught a trade, while the occupation of girls must be chiefly in domestic servitude. Em'gration, also, Which abe believed to be necessary for boys, was uudesiable for girls, as calculated to remove them from those salutary and controlling influ ences which might otherwise be brought to bear upon their conduct when Gischavid. She also objected to factory labour progress, unless factories were conducted on the plan proposed by Me Wood, M.P. far Poneefract, combining the factory and the h nue. Reformatories must, in the absence of such modes of employment, be so conducted as to make Christian %L.:men not hesitate to seek for servants from their inmates. The children must also be brought to look upon their teechers with feelings of affection, sad to feel that the discipline and restraints to which they are subjected are for their own good. After some furteer remarks to a similar effect . , Miss Carpenter referred to the conduct of parents, noticing, for restance, where a girl under her own control Lad bean withdrawn by her mother, previously to the present enactment, and that the same woman had a boy on board the Akbar convict ship, and had been contiu etl!y teasing the magistratrs for his libor,- Lion, threatening to write to their friends in London if her wish was not complied with. She then adverted to th e tact of boys running away from reformatoder, as proving that those institu.ions were not so agreeable as had been represented, and did not of a premium to crime, while she had abundant proofs . thet honest parents did not so regard it. Miss Carpenter then proceeded to detail her view of the prineipel requisites in female reformatory institutions. She recommended that the pupils should be clothed in a dress recognisable by the police, but not otherwise distinguishable from that of other children of the working classess ; that the situation of the school should be healthy, and such as to afford fecilities for country air and exercise, without their being subjected to e. unhealthy excitement ; that they should be taken to a place of worship, beyond the wars of the institution ; that they should be sometimes taken walks through ihe streets a 3 well as the country, for the purpose of teaxWng propriety of demeanour ; that the school should not have the aspect of a prison, but that of a home, which they might call " our house;" the school to have, however, secure cells for use if necessary, as some children were liable to paroxysms of anger, and often had a morbid love of notoriety, which would make them seek to be brong'st before the magistrate, and hence mast be made to feel that there was sufficient power io control them within the establishment; she would not recommend that they have any luxdries in the shape of mechasical aids to labour, hot and cold water pipes, and the like, as they ought-not to have lauries not within their reach at their own homes. With regark; to management, she recommended that it should be vested in a joint committee of ladies and gentlemen, the first to attend to the internal economy of the school, the last to aid when necessary the transaelbn of such business as fem des might be unwilling to un 'e take. After some further interestiog details, Miss Carpenter cmcladed by warmly appealing to sympathy on behalf of the reform at )ry PzOV3 - went, reminding her hearers of the words of the Redeemer, " As ye h.ve done to these little ones, so have ye also done unto me." At the close of the paper, a von'e of thanks to its author was pa;ead unanimously on the motion of Lord Brougham, seconded by Sir J. Pakington. DR. CULLFN AND THS RELIEF FUND.—A R aman Catholic Peer (Lord Bellew), in reply to a circular invitl ti.m to attend a meeting is Dundalk for the purpose of raising funds for the sufferers by the mutiny in India, makes these temperate remarks :—I think there is but one opinion on the subject, that assistance should be afforded o those forlorn and wretche l sufferers, bat such assistance should be prompt to make it effee ive. Fully conourrii,e: with those who oall for a fair and impartial distribution o! the funis that may be contributel, I cannot think it judiciou3 or politic to raise any q lestion that may tend to stop the lbw of charity which would naturally emanate from every human heart. It funds on a foriner occasion hive been misapplied or perverted, let every caution be taken and cxer:iou made to prevent a similar oecurrenei ; but let us, is the first instance., go forward cheerfully and heartily to the assistance of our suffering fellow..countrymen of whatever class or creed they may be." THE MONETARY Citl3l3 AT fleeteneun —A corropondent writing under the date of, Hamburgh, Oat. 17th, says : The pressure on our money market, which had already shown itself last week, became muce more stringent when the telegraph brought the intelligence of the Bank of England having made a farther a lvanoa in t`seir rate o f discount, and even for the most unobjectionable paper, it has berm gaits impossible to obta'n cash on lower terms than 8 per can , . per annum, while many, who to meA. their engagements woul I have readily given 10 per cent. for good but not select bills, found that th ty could not get them converted into money on any terns, and the Coll sectileace has been that heavy sacrifices of goods of various kinds nave been freely made to meet the ex'geacies of the hour. At Bremen the tightneis has, if polsib'o, been still more severe, f)r as the direct intercou:se between that ciee and the United States is comparatively greater than that which is carved on between America and this city, they have been in addition exposed to many adverse circum stances iron the monetary and commercial disorganization iu the chief cities of the Union which has latterly prevailed, Both here and there, however, the evil has been increased by the almost simultaneous announcemeut, from official authority, that the punctual payment cf the call on the Russian railways, which fella due in December, would be rigorously enforced ; and, as from the financial connection of Messrs. Stieglita• with Hamburg, and with Gomauy generally, a considerable portion of these shares is held here both by private parties and by public companies, this intimation has, come upon them at a very inconvenient time, and may yet lead to much mischief. li-, is fortunate that in Englenl there will be no aggravation of the effects of the present crisis from that cause, for as their eyes were there opened in due time to the various evils that might ar:se from the ready adoetion of that scheme, it is understood that Daly a very small proportion has been allocated in that country, and the effects of this exaction will not thole fora be felt in any degree so intensely there, as they cannot fail to be nct only in Germany, but in Bolland and France also, where the great cepitalists were not so cautious as it is found that those who take the lead in such matters, have proved to be in England. er1315:1; America 11 goes on from hence on a large scale. le,"tvio five vessels dip cleared out with 1,201 passeng ers. 938 were for New York, and 263 for New 0.1 go , - 0 former, some were destined ultimately for Canjcie bay the whole chiefly consisted of families, and were, people of some property, they will be hund, w iletb s er e t settle in British America or in the States , to be acquisition to the c.uintrs of their adoption.
