BIRMINGHAM.—The nomination is fixed for Mon-
day, and the polling for Tuesday next. The split in
the Liberal camp threatens to be carried to the poll,
the friends of Mr. Bright and Mr. Watson both
being confident of success. Meantime Mr. W.
Geachey is canvassing vigorously.
GREAT YARMOUTH.—The representation of this
borough is likely to be hotly contested. Sir Edmund
Lacon has issued an address in the Conservative
interest, and it is expected that another gentleman
of the same politics will stand with him. Two
Liberal candidates, Mr. Adolphus William Young
and Mr. John Mellor, Q.C., of the midland circuit,
have issued a joint address.

HOUSE OF LORDS-THURSDAY.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the
Royal Faculty of Oude, now resident in this country,
praying for permission to communicate with the
King, their relative, imprisoned at Calcutta.
Upon an objection by Lord REDESDALE that the
word " bumble " was not used by the petitioners,
Lord Campbell withdrew the petition.

THE MILITIA.

The Marquis of SALISBURY, on the question of the
second reading of the Militia Bill, expressed a hope
that every encouragement would be given to enlist-
ment from the militia into the line.

The Duke of RICHMOND thought it would be very
desirable if the commanding officers of militia
regiments were empowered to make an arrangement
with the men whose term was expiring seine two
or three months previous to the expiration of that
term.

Lord PANMURE said that every facility would be
given to such enlistments.
The Duke of CAMBRIDGE had beard the sentiments
expressed by their lordships with the greatest satis-
faction. No army could be complete and efficient in
the field unless it had reserves to draw upon. The
militia at home stood in this relation to the army in
India, and therefore the determination of the Govern-
ment to embody the militia if necessary had his
cordial approval.
The bill was then read a second time.

The Fraudulent Trustees Bill and the Trustees
Relief Bill passed through committee.
Lord St. LEONARDS withdrew his bill for simpli-
fying the transfer of real estates.
The Superannuation Act Amendment Bill was
read a second time on the motion of Lord MONT-
EAGLE.

Several other bills were forwarded a stage, and
their lordships adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TnunspAr.

At the early sitting, the adjourned debate on the
second reading of the New Zealand Loan Guarantee
Bill was resumed by
4ir J. GRAHAM, who urged that the security on
which the guarantee rested ought to he narrowly
examined; that the Federal Government might have
an interest in repudiating the debt, and the relations
between the colony and the mother country might
be thereby perilled. He prefered grants to colonies
to advance upon securities, and his objection was in
other respects very strong to these collateral charges
upon the Consolidated Fund.
The bill was opposed by Sir Henry Willoughby,
Mr. Caird, Mr. W. W►lliams, Mr. Gilpin, and Mr.
Dunlop, and was supported by the Chaucellor of the
Exchequer, Mr. Adderley, Mr. Fortescue, Lord A.
Churchill, and Colonel Sykes.
Upon a division the second reading was carried

(New Zealand) Bill, enabling the New Zealand
Company to accept 200,000/. in full discharge of a

The New Zealand Government Act Amendment
Bill went through committee.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1857.

WHEN Mr. DISRAELI performed the great
public service of bringing the true state of
India to the knowledge of the House of Com-
mons, he indicated very clearly the true causes
out of which the revolt had arisen and the
means by which the crisis could be most
effectually met. These were unsparing vigour
in putting down the mutineers, and the com-
plete separatin of their cause from that of
the nativa princes and native people of India.
This he proposed to effect by a proclamation
addressed to the latter, disavowing any inten-
tion of interfering with their religion, and
promising redress of any injustice that the
Government of the Company might have done.
In reply he was told by Mr. VERNON SMITH, on
the part of the Government, that, amid all that
was discouraging in the accounts from India,
there were still two grounds of consolation
left, and that these two sources of comfort
Mr. DISRAELI had sought to cut away. The
first of them was that there was not the
slightest symptom of the mutiny being a
national revolt ; and the second, that no
native prince had been concerned in these
transactions. The Maharajah of GWALIOR, lie
said, had come forward with his contingent,
and had even offered a reward of a hundred
r pees a head for each mutineer brought in
The state of Oude had exceedingly improved
since the annexation, and he only hoped that
those of our Sepoys who came from Oude
were as satisfied with the annexation as the
rest of the people undoubtedly were. If the
native princes were offended with the conduct
of the Government towards the Rajah of
SATTARA, no doubt they would have manifested
their feelings at the time. Finally, the Nizam
had shown no disaffection to our rule

Such was the fool's paradise in which the
Ministers by their own account were revelling
when the speech of Mr. Disamut burst upon
them like a thunder-storm to clear away the
vapours that filled their brain. Immediately
afterwards, the mail came in to prove how
sagacious his prognostications had been. Of
the native princes now stated by the Indian
papers to be implicated, there are the King of
DELHI, the King of OUDE, and the Nawab of
MoORsHEDABAD. The Maharajah of Gw&mort,
who was to do us such service, has allowed his
c ontingent to adopt en masse the cause of the
mutineers, as any man of sense might have
guessed from the tirst he would. Similar has
been the conduct of another boasted ally, the
Rajah of bilearPoßE, and several other minor
chiefs have done the same. The people of
Oude have shown their satisfaction with the
annexation by shutting up Sir HENRY LAW-
RENCE in Lucknow, the space commanded by
his guns being the whole of the soil that
they have left to us in Oude. At the same
time his Secretary, the chief agent in the an-
nexation under General OUTRAM, has been
se zed by them and put to death. In Cawn-
pore, the station made for coercing Oude, the
English are in like manner besieged, and de-
pend entirely for safety on their means of

Mr. NEWDEGATE then rose to move the resolution

THE COUNCIL ON MIIITARY EDUCATION issued their
first report on Tuesday. The council recommend the
holding of quarterly examinations in London (to begin
in January next), under their own direction, by
examiners to be annually chosen by the Commander-
in-Chief and the Secretary for War. The age of
candidates for direct appointments is to be from the
Ist of January, 1858, not under seventeen years, anti
after January, 1859, not under eighteen, the latest
limit being twenty-one years. The candidates, after
producing medical and religious certificates, &c.,
will be examined in classics, mathetnatics, English,
French, other modern tongues, history and geogra-
phy, geology and mineralogy, chymistry, heat, elec-
tricity, and drawing. Certain marks will be allotted,
the minimum of the "indispensable" ones being
1,800 out of 2,400, of which 1,200 are allotted to
mathematics, and 400 oach to English, French, and
history ; of the other (voluntary) subjects a sufficient
number of marks must be attained to raise the total
number necessary for qualification to 1,000. No
marks in the volitntfay subjects will count unless
one fifth of the whole number allotted be attained.
No 'andidates will be allowed more than two trials,
but the second " go" may take place at any interval
from the first within the limit of age.

THE INCOME AND EXPENDITURE OF THE EAST
INDIA COMPANY for the year 1855 50, with an esti-
mate of the same for the succeeding year, is returned
RS follows :—The total revenue receipts of all the
presidencies of India for the year amounted to
28,891,241., and the total charge and expenditure
in India to 26,599,4611., which added to 3,261,6021.,
disbursed in India, brings the total expenditure of
the year to 29,801,000/., thereby showing an excess
of expenditure over• income of 972,7911. In the two
previous years the deficiency was respectively
1,7n7,304/. and 2,044,1101. The income for the year
1856 57 is estimated at 29,344,9671., and the ex-
penditure at 31,326,0221., showing a deficiency of
1,981,002/.

THE DELHI MASSACRES.

We now come to the most terrible results of these
mutinies ; the private letters received state the bar-
barities said to have been inflicted upon the unfortu-
nate English altogether to he beyond belief. Thel
passengers by the Colombo give some frightful
details of the atrocities committed. In one case six
European ladies had taken refute in a room ; one of
them,very young and beautiful, concealed herself under
a sofa. The other five were subjected to the most
dreadful and revoltinz outrages by the mutineers, and
then beheaded. The blood trickled under the sota, and
the young girl concealed there betrayed herself by
uttering a shriek. She was seized and taken to the
harem of the King of Delhi. The daughter of the
English clergyman was driven naked through the
streets of Delhi, then subjected to unspeakable out-
rages by the soldiery, and afterwards cut to pieces.
An English lady in the same city was suspended by
the feet naked and hacked to pieces. Other women
were violated and horribly ill-used, in the presence
of their husbands and children. Their children
were then tossed upon bayonets, their husbands tor-
tured and mangled, and in many cases whole fart•
lies, alive and bleeding, were then slowly wasted to
death. In a word, since the days of Nadir Shah
never were such terrible atrocities committed by
human beings. Death was a mercy to the poor
sufferers.

A native of Delhi who had witnessed some of these
dreadful scenes voluntarily made a statement to the
deputy-commissioner at Jullundur. The following
ccmpriae the principal points :

First only five troopers came into Delll'. from Meerut.
They first went to the house of ( name not clear, so I
omit it an agent of the King of Delhi, lien. the Delhi
gate inside the town. He came out and said he was in
the service of the King. They would not listen to him,
but cat him down, and then murdered his wife and family,
and told the people to plunder the house. They then went
to the houses in Durfa tinnj. Peer Buksh, one of the
deponents, saw the troopers go to a pink•coloured house;
th. owner was a European ; they killed him, and plundered
an 1 burnt the house. They plundered and burnt all the
houses in this suburb, which is chiefly inhabited by clerks,
and murdered all who could not escape.
By this time other troopers and infantry and towns
Del* joined in the work of destruction. A numb. rof the
tigitives took retuge in a building near the mosque of
Attrungzebe's daughter, and began to defend it against the

PERIODIC AL LITERATURE.

Ix Blackwood this month we have the usual admix-
ture of fiction, literature, art, and science. " What

tribute of respect to that Jupiter of critics. " Tho
Manchester Exhibition" contains some very interest-
ing remarks on " The English School" and its ten-
dencies :

Majesty's could sing the music of the Count and Don
Giovanni, and he is Signor Belletti ; but as he
signally failed in the last part, there is no prospect
that be would be better in the gallant Count. His
Figaro was just like his Leporello, excellently well
sung, but indifferently acted. He has been re-
proached for being too familiar with his master; but
Belletti was quite right, for the Spanish servant is
on intimate terms with all the members of the house•
bold. It is right to mention this, for ignorant and
flippant critics of Spanish habits and customs are
constantly making the mistake. So far as acting
went, the men in the remainder of the cast carried
off the honours. Corsi's drunken scene was capital ;
Belart's singing priest was not only admirably made
up, but his singing of the air " In quegli auni "
worthy of all praise. Piccolomini and Spezia ought
to have exchauged parts; the Page is better adapted
to the former, and there is infinitely less responsi-
bility in the singing portion. Spezia's Cherubino
was such a palpable mistake that it requires no com-
mentary ; but her musical education is, at all events,
more developed than that of Piccolomini, and the
music of Susanna might consequently have been
tolerable. Piccolomini is fast losing that piquancy
and spontaneity which held out such hopes ?or the
future in the first season. She is fussy and titagge-
rated, seeking for points everywhere, and pertness
being substituted for vivacity. With Ortolani's
peculiar quality of voice the lovely melodies allotted
to the Countess, " Porgi amor" and " Dove sono,"
produced little effect. There were six encores
during the opera, including the " Voi the sapete,"
" Non pia =drat ;" the two duos, "Crudel perche,"
and "Sull' aria"; the double encore, to " order," of
"E schiatti," of Jenny Lind notoriety. But even
with these redemands, which are ordinarily bestowed
on the prominent pieces, there was great want of
closeness in the recitatives and concerted pieces,
caused principally by the conversational character of
the voices and accompaniments not being sufficiently
understood. A Berlin or Vienese amateur would
have been horror struck at the entire representation,
so much did the readings vary from the traditional
mode of executing this work in Germany. Unless
the Nozze be played and sung by artists, vocal and
instrumental, of the first class, thoroughly well
drilled to their task, the performance will hang fire,
and the present resources at Her Majesty's Theatre
are not equal to a complete interpretation of
Mozartian operas, the most deplorable exhibitions of
the season having been undoubtedly those in Don
Giovanni and Lc Nozze.

On the contrary, they

themselves the laughingstock of Europe by
plaintive denunciations of Russian intrigues ;
but so long as they fail to remove from our
native army, and our native allies, and our
native subjects in India every valid cause of
discontent, they will have neglected the only
mean by which such intrigues can be ren-
dered harmless. The Government may speak,
write, or act as they may, but to this they will
have to come at last. There is but one mode
of restoring peace and confidence to India, and
that is by following 1 the course, whether
through the agency of a Royal Commission or
otherwise, that Mr. DISRAELI in his admirable
speech proposed.
Those who maintain that the disaffection
is confined to the Sepoys, and that the civil
population are with us to a man, would really
prove, if their theory were true. that the
Government and their agents in India are
much greater imbeciles than the speech of
Mr. DISRAELI sufficiently indicated. For, if
all the rajahs, and zemindars, and people,
are with us, what possible difficulty can the
Indian Government have in putting down
this revolt? For every thousand Sepoys who
refused obedience to us, they could in that
case raise ten thousand at a moment's notice
to take their place. From Delhi to Calcutta
there are millions of inhabitants belonging to
races which have always been inured to arms.
They may not have the advantage of drill,
but there is no need of drill to fit them for
the work required. If, therefore, their loyalty
can be relied on, what on earth does the Go-
vernment of India mean by troubling us with
its wills for European soldiers and its tele-
granhic alarms ? There are men enough
within its reach to raise ten armies from, if

GOVERNMENT BUSINESS.

A motion by Lord PALMERSTON, that on Tuesdays,
during the session, Government orders shall have
precedence, led to a discussion of a very miscella-
neous character, Lord JOHN RUSSELL observing that
the resolution passed by the Lords, that they will
not read bills a second time which come from the
Commons after the 7th of August, unless of a certain
kind, was a very extraordinary order, looking at the
short time the Commons had sat; and expressed a
hope that the Government were not consenting
parties.
Lord PALMERSTON reminded Lord John Russell
that the practice of flAing a time after which no bill
would be read a second time had been followed when
he himself was a member of the Government. He

had no doubt that the Lords would relax the order,
as they had done on previous occasions, on reason-
able cause being shown.
The motion was agreed to.
GOVERNMENT MEASURES.
Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to questions as to
the Ministerial intentions on the subject of pressing
certain bills, stated that the Government did intend
to persevere with the Probate and the Divorce Bills.
Ilti expressed a hope that the house would be in-
clined to take the Lord Chancellor's eight Law Con-
solidation Bills. "on trust," so as to allow them to
pass this session.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

LAST night was the farewell performance of the
operatic season. It terminated with Donizetti's
Farorita, the farce of La Col!erica, with Mme.
llistori, and the divertissement Les Abeilles. At the
conclusion of the opera the National Anthem was
sung, Grisi and Didiie singing their verses in fine
style. The magnificent acting of Mario and Grisi in
the final scene of the opera created unbounded
enthusiasm, for they were both in splendid voice, and
never acted with greater energy. Mario was
rapturously encored in the romance " Angiol da
l'Amore." Next week a summary of the doings of
this campaign will be given in our columns.

DIVORCE BILL.

The ATTOUNEY-GENER,II, moved the second read-
ing of the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill,
which had been received from the Housn of Lords.
This measure, he observed, bad excited in the
country at large great anxiety, and he might say
great alarm, which was, however, entirely groundless.
The bill embodied long•establislied principles, and
only removed inconveniences attending a remedy
hitherto administered by a judicial tribunal. What-
ever alarm had been entertained, therefore, must be
the result of misapprehension or misrepresentation.
lie then proceeded to explain the progress of the
marriage law of England, in what manner it had
been judicially administered, and how it had been
dealt with ny the Legislature for the last 150 years.

SUGAR—Nearly all kinds have been in improved request
since our last report, sod prices have advanced fully ed per
cwt. West India has realised 62s to bes ; fine Bengal, Us to
625; other kinds, 47s to 57s per cwt, Refined goods are in fair
request, at 665 6d to 71s.

MOLASSES—Very few sides have been effected. Prices,
however, are supported.

COFFEE—At public sale rather lower rates have been
submitted to; but by private contract importers hare continued
firm.

COCOA—This article continues firm in price. At public sale
Trinidad has changed bands at 95s to 1058; Granada, 85s 6cl
to 86e 6d; and 59 bags Carapeno have been withdrawn at 130 s
per cwt.

-
RICE—No change has taken place in the quotations, and

PROVISIONS—Fine Irish butter is hi fair request, at a
sligb4 improvement in value. Inferior qualities rule dull.
English and foreign parcels are about stationary. Bacon is

supported, and the market generally is firm.

HEMP AND FLAX—Baltio hemp moves off freely, at ♦ery
full prices. Manilla parcels are a slow sale. In flax very little
is passing.

shown a tendency to advance.

SALTPETRE—The exciting news from India has produced
considerable &entity in the demand for this article, and parcels
to wire have changed hands at 47e per cwt.
