of the sourest and hungriest quality, and the Rouse is invited to graft thereon its own more genial fancies." The great objection of all, in the ministerial journalist's eyes, appears to relat e to " th e sor t o f people " the bill will enfranchise,. , " The debate," it is remarked, " drags on, but we hope before it is finished to learn from either friend or foe something more of the character , of the class with whom we are invited to divide the political rights and government of this great Empire," —nay, not to divide with them the kingdom's political rights and government, but to let them take them into their own hands alto gether. The "Manthester school," as we all know, make no pretensions to humanity, when it is " all in the way of business" that practices which the commonest feeling of. humanity must condemn should yet be had recourse to. One must not expect any of that " school," therefore, to pay much heed to even the leading journal, when it declares, as it did yesterday, that "the dullest imagination must be moved by the tortures inflicted by ' grasping traders and ruthless , parents on it re the you ng , t h e delicate, and the sickly ; and quires •no philanthropical wisdom to teach us that a persistence in such a system is not only a dis grace to a Christian land, but a national impolicy which will bring with it a heavy retri bution." This is said with reference to the Bill for Limiting the Hours of Labour of Women and Children in Bleaching and Dyeing, which passed to a second reading so triumphantly in the House of Commons the other day,--a measure which is MMMost determinedly opposed by the magnates of . anchester ; notwithstanding that it has been Tendered'neeess ar by discoveries of cruelties and o ppression towards girls and children, of which further, d ec l are d , t h at " if they do not rouse society. to rescue th ese g i r l s an d t h ese c hild ren from their living death, th en do we as a nation deserv e and the w orst t h at the world can say'of us, an hour of just punishment will inevitably arrive." ItEPO4OI in Parliament has become a stale subject ; an d the Whigs, who have "traded upon it, at one time and another, through • such a long course of Years, w ill soon, it is evident, find it of no further avail . as political capital. The difficulty which Mini sters find in getting a sufficiently numerous attend ance to constitute a House, during, the debat e Oa 'their miserable measure, is but one, tb°ll gn by nO means the . least significant, of the Si gns there are of indifference about, if not of ear inee* 'with it. The fact i s , th a t so methin g o f the kind has been rendered necessary—not to me et -z. any real want, not to supply any actual defect, but to remove out of the way, if but for a a question which they have made trouble amlie and erabarrassing, not only to their political t aPP "ente, but to themselves.

They do not hesitate to declare, that, : as a Reform Bill, they c oder the ministerial measure a petty and Paltryone,—.only it goes - a step or two ‘‘ in the right direction,"--that is, in the downward demo cratic course,--and they accept it, therefore, as an ad vance, though they think a slow one, towards th e end th e y have in view, of in time completely re Publicanising the institutions of the country. It i s highly significant of the character of s uch a combination as that by which' the Whigs hav e again bees placed in a position to d ea l w ith this questig4 p f parliamentary Reform, as a Ministry; to.loiik back upon the means which they did not 8° !'n14!1.9 MPloy, or tp l?eecrae parties to, witktint ehbjeet Alii94o 041 y, of course, 45 a P retext for their ONVR recovery' of office.

THE LATEST NEWS. iBY BRITISH AND IRISH • MAGNETIC TBLEGRAP VERY SERIOUS NEWS FROM SAVOY. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News announces that six regiments have taken posses sion of Chablais and Fancigny, and remarks that this news, if true, is very serious indeed, because the French Government considers itself as already in possession of those two provinces of Savoy.

The' speech. of Major Walter, on • voluntary artillery, at the meeting in Liverpool, has been published in the French papers. His recom mendation to the French to abandon the cause of war, and to &Vote . themselves to commercial pur suits, on the sound principles of free trade, has (says the . . correspondent of the Times) received , the assent of all commercial men, except the few who still rally round the flag of protection.

RENUNCIATION OF THE CONCORDAT BY LOMBARDY. The Sardinian Council of State has decided that the concordat concluded by Austria is not now dependant upon Lombardy. APATHY, ON THE REFORM BILL. The Dail?,' News thinks the dulness of the debate is due not so much to'the apathy of as friends, or to any want of public interest in the question, as to the absence of any vigorous, consis tent, or even respectable opposition. The Times says the Refbrm , Bill is still becahned, and the steam cannot by any means be got up. Its advocates and its opponents—if they may be so calledare equally at a losS, the former being unable to make a case for it, the latter against it. In the midst of the debate, list night, the house was, all but counted out, Lord. John him self having to run for it to save his own measure. VOLUNTEER CORPS IN BATTALIONS. Mr. S. Herbert has addressed a circular from the War Department to the Lords-Lieutenant of Counties, on the subject of forminc , the various scattered bodies constituting Volunteer Rifle Corps in battalions. A battalion may consist'of from four to t welve companies, but no battalions of four companies can be formed in the same place. Another circular states that the Queen having approved of the appointment of an adjutant to , each brigade, names of qualified officers may be sent in for approval to the War Department, THE COTTON CROP 'IN INDIA. The Times• says that a recent telegram from India mentions that the cotton crop in the North Western provinces will this year be faviourable. The Tussah silk crop, which is grown in the lower part of Bengal, will, it is alleged, be a partial failure. ANOMALY IN THE INDIA TARIFF. The merchants of Manchester have appointed a deputation to wait upon Sir C. Wood, next week, in London, for the purpose of making rO- - presentations on the protective duty to be levied in India on cotton-yarn and twist: The Times remarks that, no doubt, the measure will be quoted not merely by all the Continental protectionists in justification of their system, but likewise by a majority of the politicians in the United States, and probably in Canada. The cheek will occur at a time when the Manchester trade was experiencing an extraordinary deve lopment, and the effect may be serious on the general positiOn of our commercial relations.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY In reply to the Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord WODEHOUSE said that no communication had been received from the Sardinian or the French Govern ments relative to the recent vote of the municipality of Nice, as to the cession of that town and its county by Sardinia to France. ,On the second reading of the Mutiny Bill, Lord PANMURE called attention to the present state of promotion in the army by the sale and purchase of commissions. Earl Da GREY admitted the evils of the present sys tem, which be thought might be remedied by abolishing purchase on attaining the rank of a field officer. The Earl of LuaArr advocated promotion by selection. After some remarks from the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Somerset, Earl Grey, and others, the bill was read a second time. The House adjourned at ten minutes to nine. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YEsTenuAy, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. A long discussion took place on a motion made by Mr. Duncombe—that a new writ be issued for the borough of Norwich. It resulted in the writ being issued. Mr. HORSPALL asked the Attorney-General when tke report of the Chancery'Evidence Commission was likely to be presented to the House ; and whether the Govern ment intended to introduce any measure this session to carry out the suggestions of the Commission. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it, was intended to introduce a bill, but he could not state the precise time. In answer to Mr. Kinglake, Lord S. RUSSELL said that it would be inconvenient to the public service to produce at present M. Thou venel's latest despatch on the proposed annexation to France of Savoy and Nice, and the answer of Her Majesty's Government, or the note recently received by the Government from that of Switzerland. He could not say when it would be convenient to produce the papers. Mr. gEIsTRY BAILLrE asked the Secretary of, State for India whether he is about to sanction the issue of a paper eurrency,by the Government of India, and if so, whether he intends to communicate the details of the scheme to Parliament, and to take the opinion of the House upon the subject. • Sir C. WOOD said that he had sanctioned the issue of a paper currency in India. He would lay on the table papers on the subject on Monday. In reply to Captain Archdall, Sir C. WOOD admitted that blame was to be attached to certain parties in Calcutta, in the affair of the Great Tasmania, but it was premature as yet to pass any definite judgement. Mr. MAGUIRE asked if it was intended to except the 2nd Staffordshire Regiment of Militia from the proposed disembodiment. That regiment was quartered in Dublin, commanded by an officer of high rank, and it was most unfair to the Irish regiments which had been disembodied to allow that regiment to remain. Colonel DICKSON complained that no regard was paid to the feelings of the Irish militia, and that much had been done to disgust them, and to excite disloyalty and disaffection. Mr. S. HERBERT explained the principle they had followed in the disembodiment of the militia, and said that there were peculiar reasons which caused them to delay for a very short time the disembodiment of the 2nd Staffordshire regiment. _ Captain Janvis asked the Secretary of State for War whether it is true that, instead of raising the two lid gades of Artillery (15th and 16th,) which are named in the army estimates amounting to 2,206 men, it is inten ded to raise only one brigade of 1,000 men. Mr. S. HERBERT said, that in consequence of the improved state of India, it was expected that several regiments would shortly be sent home, which had enabled them to reduce the number of men they once proposed. Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War whether he was aware of the intended advance of the Spanish army on Tangiers, and what guarantee he has received from the government of that country that there will not be a permanent, or even a protracted,• occupation of a place so essential for the supply of the fortress of Gibraltar. Sir JAMES FERguscrN asked the Secretary of State for India whether it is in conteutplatiou to bestow honours or promotion upon any officers who have been region}- mended for such rewards in consideration of distinguished services in the suppression of the sate mutiny in India, bat who have not yet been so rewarded; and to call his attention, particularly, to the ease of the Second Regi ment of Bombay Light Cavalry ? Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary of State for India whether there is any and what foundation for the state ments in a part of the newspaper press of the last few days that the native regular army of India is to be abolished, including the armies of Madras and Bombay, whose recent loyalty and efficiency have been of such vital importance to British interests, and when the returns ordered by the House of the services of the Bombay regular cavalry, and returns of all the officers recommended for brevets or honotirs during the late mutiny, will be laid upon the table of the house ? Lord rEvoy asked the Chief Secretary for Trelq t d when the Government intended to introduce the teCle siastical Courts and Registries (Ireland) Bill, which was 'introduced by the late Government, and had passed through the House of Lords, and had beet read twice in the House of Comruons before the dissolution of parliament. I e took occasion to Complain Of th e negligent and dilatory manner which Irish hipiness was conducted in that Vouse, which was paltering with the polp#R• • Mr. CARDWELL laid the fault upon the Rouse, which permits itself to be counted out, and consiuned its, time in illher matters. His bill for the Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment, and other Irish matters, stood for Thursday, when he hoped to bring them forward. Mr. DANEY SEYMOUR made strong observations against the supineness of the Government with regard to the Irish Registries Bill, which it did not suit them to introduce. He wished to know what alteration wouN be made in the Swiss frontier in consequence of the annexation Qf tay,43y. 'Afr. WifITESTDE, in reference to Trish business, sug gested that the GOvernment should withdraw the Reform ill and attend to what was of more importance.

He complained of the silence of the British Govern. ment in ,the face of, the strong language of Count Walewski; and wished to know whether the Commercial Treaty was not the price of the connivance of our Ministers at the aggressive policy of the French Emperor ? complained of the relirtatice of the govQrument to afford information on this subject. it • I.ord.

In answer to Mr. Stirling, he said that:ho should not consent to produce his private correspondence, but the substance of that cOrresponcience. was to be found in his published despatches.

Mr. HORSMAN thought the Savoy question was one of those which especially demanded tte interference of the Houk, and that a direct expression of opinion at an earlier period would hava , averted the present evil. Mr: B. COCHRANE observed that we had lost prestige all over Europe by our conduct in the affair of Savoy. The. CHAwczu.oit of the EXCHEQUER said that the opinion of the House had been repeatedly expressed in dithStant discussions, and in the strongest language. .R4:01 . 04 saidthat the'erobers of the house were Arst told' that it 'was too' early to express thbii opinion, and then that it was too late. What had occurred shoWed the value of the professions of the French Emperor, which he held at the cheapest rate. • In reply to the question of Sir J. Ferguson, Sir C. WOOD explained that the recommendation for promotion in India, made by the Commander-in- Chief, had been attended to as far as possible. In reply to the question of Colonel Sykes, , p, 'Tom stated that there was no foundation for the report alluded to.

Mr. Drew protested against lavish expenditure of ratepayers' monies in making roads at before and behind private houses, which were Of no public use; end complained of the item for cartages, remarking that it was illegal , for surveyors to employ carters at all, and proposed that the accounts be not passed. The proposition fell to the ground, after a good deal of angry and desultory conversation, and the accounts were passed. Mr. Drew then proposed that no •steps be taken by the surveyors in putting any road or carriage way in repair without first submitting the matter to a township meeting. Mr. Baits asked the amount of the fine for not acting as a surveyor, for he would rather pay the amount, he said, than be subject 'to be called to weekly'meetings on paltry affairs. Mr. Drew's proposition was put to the meeting, and lost. Mr. Danson read a long report on the present state of unappropriated roads, and suggested means of improving. them. before doing so, however, he said that this was probably the last occasion on which he should meet the parishioners, fur he would not under any circumstances, take office again. A vote. of thanks were awarded to Messrs. Danson and Newborn for past services; and to Mr: Nosworthy, the chairman, for his conduct in the chair, whieh terminated the proceedings.

He should confine his remarks to a very brief outline of the i'lltious i stthjects which had conic under . the datiSrdol:'atfort of the'. ootifetenee ; and he would conclude by glancing at-the good results to which 'such meetings as they had lately ' held were likely"to tend, leming succeeding speakelre to' - enlarge upon these subjects.

It was this thought that operated upon the minds of the individuals to whom he had alluded as the originators of this conference, and they have accordingly provided that the . results of this • conference shall be as widely spread as possible.

(Applause.) Now, the business of this conference, so far as I gather it, has been this, to inquire and to conclude in what Way the missionary, spirit could behest stirred up in this country--sin what wiy. the means for bringing that spirit into action torrid ` be best raised; and then to see in what ' finiiiiier 'both could be best directed to the object you have in vielv. - This will 1- , e set before you by gentlemen of great personal experience—by those who, speak to whatthey know, and can tell you what they have seen ; and, I am convinced, that their rhetoric and their e x h or t a ti ons . w ill comman d - i your sympathies and will guide yourjudgthent. But, my good friends, do, for one moment, consider the present position of the world. Do consider, that at this moment the numbers of those who d o no t believe in the name of our Lord are ten, twenty, perhaps thirty-fold those to whom the knowledge of salvation has been administered. -Recollect, that though the State of thingAe So, it has been for eighteen centuries in this condition ; andi diffing the latter part of these centuries,, it has been in the power of those who hold the truth --having means enough,. having knowledge ' enough; and having 'opportunity enough—to' evangelise- the globe fifty tithes over. And 'yet they have done nothing of the kind; and now we find ourselves, after eighteen centuries of saving know ledgewe find we are but a ,imall fraction of God's creatures who have any knOwledge of His : word, and a `still smaller fraction who have any desire to make it known. But I hope, when we lay seriously to heart our responsibility—when we consider how mach has been given to this nation; and particularly when'We consider its energy of heart,—when we consider its extent of intellect,—when we consider 'the , peculiar character of !her people,—when 'we co ns id er t h e enterpr i se of !all her sons, -- when .we . .oneider 'the enormous wealth we enjoy—when we consider that we have been professors, aye, and free professors of the Pre testant faith for some three 'centuries-=when we con sider that we have. an . open .Bible, , no man forbidding us ;—and when 'we' consider that we have means and resources such as never Yet fell to the lot of any nation ; when we Consider that our dominions. extend from . one S end of the earth to the other—that one hand of the Queen rests upoo the east and the other hand rests upon' the, west,Hwhen we consider that every enterprise of the'kind we have now undertaken- has been blessed by God withsignal success,-4ow can we sit still and not tremble under the weight of .responsibility that devolves upin u5....1f we delay for one moment to come forward with tenfold vigour, tenfold resolution, tenfold amount of prayer, that God would be pleased' to put into our hearts these great designs, and enable us by his grace to `bring them to good effect.. (Applanse). This I..sponsi bility is indeed terrible—this responsibility is more than fearful. 'This responsibility, and oar neglect of it, would seeps to be unpardonable. But, nevertheless, in God's mercy, there are indications of a better state of things— of ti better spirit; and if we could from this day go forth, like John the Baptist, and announce that there was a dawn beyond—that there was something ooming , that would bring light afidliberty, and shining light to i the nations sitting in darkness and the shadow of death —then, indeed, we might have hope—then, indeed, we might have confidence--then, indeed, we might retire to our rest this. night, and feel assured that a great, a long, and a glorious period of usefulness and joy was reserved in the service of God to this old, great, blessed Frqtestant kingdom of Great Britain. (Lould applause.) But now, my good friends, while every heathen and benighted soul ought to be to us an object of solicitude and prayer, ought we not to consider whether God has not given to us a peculiar field for our operations, and whether our principal efforts ought not to be made where lies our principal 'responsibility ? For what purpose, think you, were 200,000,00Q F millions of heathens consigned to our care in her Majesty's dominions in. the East—for what purpose is India under the 'sceptre of Queen Viotoria !Is it that it may add to the dominions of the State—is ft merely fqr the extension of commerce—is it merely that India may take our goods and we receive hers in exchange ? Is it not for some greater, mightier, holier, parpose than that? Most unquestionably it is. (Loud applause.) Aye, and the nation at one time, almost to a- man, recognised that great and sacred obligation. Well do I remember the time when the mutiny in India had carried terror to every man's heart. Well do I recollect that men who cared no more for Christianity than they did • for the ground they walked upon —many .of them said to me—" Clear it is that nothing is - left. for the saving of that empire but that the people should be Christianised ; we must introduce the Christian religion among them; that Will be the true conservative principle, and will bind the people of India to Queen Victoria." Aye, they said that—many said it in sincerity and with deep devotion— many said it in mere policy, and as a temporary expe dient. The mutiny subsided, and so subsided their con victions, and a greater cleadaess ensned after the mutiny than existed hefqre it ; and soon, and rapidly soon, shall We lapse igte Vie nondescript, that inconceivable, that wild condition that is called the Government neutrality. ' (Hear,' bear.) Recollect, my friends, that Government neutrality, will shortly become national neutrality—that Gpverninent indifference will shortly become national. indifference—aye, and that Government sin will shortly become a' national sin. (Hear,-hear.) And, after all, what is that neutrality ? ._Neutrality is 4 nil you may read in the dictionary, and neutrality is a thing you may _ ftnd in the grammar But 'neutrality in the,,nAeral life of man is , a thing that cannot have existence. (Applanse.) f t ehtteians talk o f neutrality, because they 0414 in neutral mystification. (Laughter.) But neutrality in religion is iMpossible. (Applause.)

If be believei he is bound, by every considera tion of h eaven or o f . earth, with all his soul, with all his heart, with all his mind, with all that he possesses, with all that h e cove t s , w i th all that he can lay his haucla upon, by every energy o f body arid' soul, he Is hound t() do all that i n hi m li es, in a 'legitimate way, to labour that, the'WOrd of the Lord may have a free course and be carried to every part of the world. (Applause.) This union of all' evangelical and orthodox denominations is a great sign of the times. (Hear, hear.) It shows that there is a mighty effort directed to clue single view, the holiest and the purest that ear} enter into. the mind. Qf h 4 lll qiilif aside - 411 externals that are non- esseitial, and lookingi to the internal that is indis pens:able, they have before them the - one single object of preaching Christ, Christ crucified, to every ignorant soul on the .

JOSEPI , MigrlAN. f s„ missionary, from Calci4ta, I was next called upon to address thenieeting. Ile detailed scrap interesting particulhis'reirecting the progress .of the trifsaiiiinary systein in that, par of the world. They had been tatecesafulin their efforts for the conversion of the Hindoos, but they' had to light against the Government. The policy of the Government had been called neutral; . 1 but it was a fallacy to suppose that could be a, gooil legislation which disregarded religion. The reverend . gentleman extended! his remarks to a considerable length, and was listened to with great interest and iattention. Colonel HARBERT EnWARDES, who;was received with repeated rounds of applause, -delivered the next addresi. Having recen tly re t urne d f rom t h e scene of the ,Indian ~mutiny;, and believing, a s h e did, 'th a t that - Mutiny r . threw a great and lurid light upon the object for which '''the conference had assembled, ,he could not 'do better than direct their attention to the lesson which Eng , land might learn ',' r from that war. They ' all knew the past history .of India ; they knew that it was somewhat more than a century ago since God give the empire oandia to us upon the battle-field of Plassy. Within that century we knew what changes have come over the country, how we had introduced 1 justice where we found violence and crime, how we had abolished. :sine of those bloody and infamous customs I which formerly disgraced the land—h ow d omes ti c s l aver y had been subdued and almost exterminated, how the cruel custom of dragging the Hindoo widow to the 1 funeral 'pile of her husband, in order that she might Ibe burnt thereon, had been abolished— an d h e wou ld no t think of underrating those triu m ph s o f our c i v ili sat i on. , They would 'witness in' Spite - of theft. possessors that 1 Encdiihmen would always carry with them some of that 1 1 Christianity which they imbibed from' their earliest years. Still he . could. not . forget that there 'were duties which England had not- performed towards that country. Ile felt convinced th a t th a t country was not that country. us purely fOr our own benefit. It was not merely that we should'provide for the sons and daughters of England that God,gave India to this country. Nor was it that' iiie might abolish mer e ly th ose cruennitonis of which he had Spoken, or that we should cover the' country with roads and, xailroads and telegraph wires. These were not the reasons why India was given to England. It' was surely for highe r reasons than 'these. If they looked at the history of other great countries, they would find that man y o f the m h a d t r i e d t o ge t a • footing in the Indian empire, and had failed.: Why, then, had God allowed England to take pos- • session of that great country, ,if not for seine, much greater and more Christian reason than any he had named? But the Government had adopted a policy of neutrality. He believed that it was the curse of Eng land when she committed herself to that policy of neu trality in religion, Ship loads of missionaries went to India; but were not only prevented from preaching there, but actually driven away from it. He would refer to. Judson ; and, in speakingof him, he could not help drawing their attention to the fact that that devoted missionary was not sent out from this country, but from America. This nehle man went to India, but was driVen from it; and he was ultimately received in Burmah; whOe he founded that system of missionary labour which was so successful. And England might have enjoyed the same fruits had she adopted a proper,and a ' Christian policy. But on the contrary, this country ' did everything in its power to encourage heathen ism: It collected the revenues from the great idol temples of India, and in a great measure took them under its especial charge: Was not this a disgrace to a -Christian' country like England ? Was it not disgraceful that while the Koran and other text books of heathenish , religions were introduced into the Indian schools, the Bible was nearly , altogether excluded ? He would not do his countrymen the injustice of supposing that they had done all these things from purely selfish motives.. They might think that by doing this they were giving fair play to the natives. But the natives of India do not understand such fair play as this. Religion was to them the alpha and omega of their existence=it ramified through every act of their life—there was no event of joy or sorrow into which it did not enter, that it might he_ truly said, that whatever they did, they did all for the " glory of their GOd: What effect, then, would the unchristian and almost irreligious course which England had pursued in India have upon the people of that country ? Would they not conclude that this great people—the English people—were, after all, a very tricky set, and that, not 'daring to come straight at the object they had in view, they had had recoerse to, this subterfuge, which, the better to aid their purpose, they had designated fair play ? And the consequence of this has been that thy., A in i tlow haye regarded With distrust any and 'all chenggs that have been ietrodneed, can siclerieg them as schemes which were intended to take their religion from, them. This the speaker showed had been the case when electric wires were first spread over the country, the people in this case believing that as soon as they were thoroughly infested with the, wires something would be pulled and they would instantly lose their religion. (Hear, hear.) After corlsidc.rtkg these and other points, he said it w i oald ep,pear that the Government 1,1?(1 ;14 9 .,40,n4.4 the proper course in their, previous treatment of India. We had to learn, and take it much to heart, that the , giver of empires is oar (had. Let us no longer go on with the godless, heartless, senseless theory, that we could have a nation without a national feeling of`reli gion. (Loud applause.) If we' allowed I this cold, demoralising, decentralising, princiPle to take root, amongst .us, we would have no national action in futtire,l in our. history ; and if we chose, act without God, we would be deserted in th e hour of danger. ppiP,l4e. We must learn, seco n dly, th at God had, given India into oar ,charge in order that we might confer Upon it the benefits he had. csgimed upon its. Thirdly, we must in that biripire begin our lab ours b y h onour i n the Giid Who . gave it to us. (Hear, hear, and applause.
