missioner to be appointed by the British Government, shall
examine into and decide upon the pecuniary claims of all
British subjects upon the Government of Persia, and shall
pay such of those claims as may be pronounced just, either
in one sum or by instalments, within a period not exceeding
one year from the date of the award of the commissioners.
And the same commissioners shall examine into and decide
upon the claims on the Persian Government of all Persian
subjects, or the subjects of other powers who, up to the
period of the departure of the British Mission from
Teheran, were under British protection, which they have
not since renounced.

ARTICLE Sir.
Saving the provisions in the latter part of the preceding
article, the British Government will renounce the right of
protecting hereafter any Persian subject not actually iu the
employment of the British Mission, or of British consuls-
general, consuls, vice•consuls, or consular agents, provided
that no such right is accorded to or exercised by any other
foreign powers ; but in this, as in all other respects, the
British Government requires, and the Persian Government
engages, that the same immunities and privileges shall in
Persia be conferred upon, and shall be enjoyed by, the Bri-
tish Government, its servants, and its subjects, and that the
same respect and consideration shall be shown for them,
and shall be enjoyed by them, as are conferred upon and
enjoyed by and shown to the most favoured foreign Govern-
ment, its servants, and its subjects.

ARTICLE XIII.
The high contracting parties hereby renew the agree-
ment entered into by them in the month of August, 1851
( Shawal 1'267), for the suppression of the slave trade in the
Persian Gulf, and engage turther that the said agreement
shall continue in force after the da:e at which it expires—
that is, after the month of August, 1882—for the further
space of ten years, and for so long afterwards as neither of
the high contracting parties shall, by a formal declaration,
annul it; such declaration not to take effect until one year
atter it is made.

OUR RELATION 3 WITH NAPLES.

Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to ask when the papers
relative t.,) Naples would he laid upon the table?
Lord PALMERSTON replied that they were in pre•
paration, and would be laid upon the table of the
house in a few days.

BEER TRADE.

The house having gone into committee, on the
motion of Mr. HARDY, that hon. member proceeded
to ask leave to introduce a bill to amend the laws
relating to the sale of beer by retail, and to regulate
certain places of public resort, refreshment, and
entertainment. This measure, as he explained it,
was designed to provide more stringent regulations
for houses in which beer was sold ; to oblige the
keepers of coffeehouses and other places for refresh-
ments that were open at night to take out licences,
and place their establishments under the surveillance
of the police. The motion was seconded by Mr.
13At.t., and leave given to bring in the bill.
Leave was also given to the Marquis of BLANDFORD
to bring in a bill making further provisions for the
mode of securing and paying fixed incomes to eccle-
siastical corporations, aggregate and sole.

SATURDAY,

On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON a select
committee was appointed to consider so much of the
second report of the Statute law Commissioners as
relates to the proposition therein made for the adop-
tion of means to improve the manner and language
of current legislation. The purport of this proposi-
tion, as the noble viscount stated, was to appoint an
officer whose special function should be to prepare
bills for Parliament, and to watch over them while
passing through the Legislature, so as to secure the
final enactment of well-expressed, consistent, and
workable laws.

Sir G. GREY obtained leave to bring in a bill to
facilitate the appointment of chief constables of
adjoining counties, and to confirm the appointments
of chief constables in certain cases.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE obtained leave to bring in •
bill to make better provision for the care and educa-
tion of vagrant, destitute, and disorderly children,
and for the extension of industrial schools.

SIR ROBERT PEELS LECTURE.

Sir ROBERT PEEL, in reply to ➢lr. Stafford as to
whether the report of a speech of his (made on the
Tth of January, at Saltby, near Bimingham), which
appeared in the Times newspaper, be correct, espe-
cially those passages which refer to the Grand Duke
Constantine of Russia, M. de Moray, and the Prince
de Ligne, said that he had been invited to attend
that meeting on the occasion of a " jollification"—
that he was not in the habit of reading reports of his
speeches, and he generally rested "satisfied with the
favourable impression that he produced at the time ;"
but that with reference to the speech in question, he
was prepared to accept the entire responsibility of
every single sentence except one--that relating to
Count Morny.. He only called him, "le plus grand

HOSTILITIES WITH CHINA.

Mr. COBDEN gave notice that on this day fortnight
he would move the two following resolutions !

1. That this house has heard with concern of the con-
theta which have occurred between the British and Chi-
nese authorities on the Canton river, and, without ex.
pressing any opinion how far the Government of China
afforded cause of complaint by non fulfilment of the treaty
of 1i442, considers that the papers laid on the table fail
to establish satisfactory grounds for the violent proceedings
resorted to with respect to the case of the Arrow. 2. That
a select committee be appointed to inquire into the state
of our commercial relations with China.

ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.

Sir C. Woon, in answer to Mr. Roebuck, stateif
that no final determination had been arrived at re-
specting another Arctic expedition, but that if the
Government came to the decision that such a step
was expedient they would lay the matter before
Parliament, and ask for a vote of money before any
preparations were made for fitting out the expedition..

life casting aside their party watchwords, and consenting
to act together for one great object, which all admitted re•
lated immediately to the well•being of the country. It
was a high and holy cause; it was a cause the success of
which depended upon the support it received from the
people of this great commer2ial city, and, through them,
of the people of the country at large. He believed they had
such support and assistance as to insure to the cause a
triumphant issue. _

imply anything detrimental to his honourable cha-
racter." With respect to the Prince de Ligne, he
accepted the responsibility of every phrase he used.
In conclusion, Sir Robert Peel said :
If I have erred, I beg to say, on this public occasion, as
an earnest of the sincerity of my feelings, that, though 1
do not feel that I did err, still, if I did err, I now offer
the most ample expression of regret, and that is the most
fitting amend.: honorable that I can offer.

Rittropolitun.

THE OPPRESSED CONDITION Or THE MILLINERS
AND DRESSMAKERS of the Metropolis was considered
at an influential meeting at Exeter hall, on Monday
evening. The Bishops of London and Llandaff, the
Earl of Shaftesbury, Dr. Lankester, and several
other philanthropic gentlemen, addressed the meet-
ing, with the view of proving that the present system
of protracted labour carried out by employers—viz.,
from fourteen to eighteen hours a day—was a dis-
grace to the age, and should be limited. Several
resolutions, proposing a reduction in the hours of
labour, and prompt payment for work, were carried
unanimously.
MR. CHARLES KEAN, Director of her Majesty's
Private Theatricals, has thrown some fresh light
upon the subject of Mr. Rogers' subscription last
week to the Lambeth poor-box of 13s. 4d., as the
Court payment for one night's performance at Wind-
sor. Mr. Kean writes

When a theatre closes for this purpose (of performance
at Court), every person of this company receives the
same salary to which be would have been entitled if the
theatre had remained open to the public, and those
members who are engaged at Windsor, in addition to the
payment of every incidental expense, receive an extra
night's War). Mr. Wigan closed his theatre, and Mr.
Rogers, therefore, must have been paid as much again as
if he had acted on that night in London. Individual salaries
are not specified, but the manager names the aggregate
sum, which is handed to him accordingly. Until I read
the paragraphs in the newspapers, I was not aware that
13s. Id. was Mr. Rogers' nightly payment at the Olympic
Theatre.

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

THE Monthly Debtor and Creditor Account of the
Bank of France, made up to yesterday, was pub-
lished this morning. We copy the following clear
analysis of its main features from the circular
of Mr. William Avens, stock and share broker, of
No. 13, Tokenhouselard, Lotlibury

The return is of a more favourable character than that
for the previous month of January, inasmuch as k shows
that the Bank is resolutely persisting in its successful
policy of discouraging speculation upon borrowed capital.
Altogether, it appears that by reducing its commercial dis-
counts, and its advances upon public and private securi-
ties, more than a million and a half sterling has been
withdrawn in this way from enterprises, the greater part of
which must probably have beeit the reverse of legitimate
undertakings. The large falling off in the discounts is,
however, mgarded in some quarters as a hardship upon trade,
and we hear complaints about it from some of the shipping
ports of France ; but it must be observed that this item has
increased greatly since this time last year, and that it still
presents a much larger aggregate than at the latter end of
I:StAI, when exactly similar complaints were made. Corn-
pared with the previous return, the following will show
the principal changes made in the position of the estab-
lishment during the month, expressed in English
currency at an exchange of twenty-live francs to the pound
sterling :

Decrease in Circulation .... £682,384
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease in Other Deposits ....
Decrease in Commercial Discounts
Increase in Bullion
Decrease in Advances on Bullion .... 29,870
Decrease in Advances on Public
Securities
Decrease in Advances on Railway
Securities
Increase in Premiums on Purchase of
Gold and Silver
Circulation ( February 12th) 23,810,835
Stock of Bullion (February 12th) 7,80'3,935
The decrease in the private deposits implies an active
demand for money during the month, which has been the
fact. Indeed, as far as concerns the operations and influ-
ence of the Bank at the great centres of trade, it could
scarcely be otherwise, for it is certain that the commerce
of the country, particularly with foreigners, is being greatly
extended. Any considerable withdrawal of capital from at
must, therefore, be sensibly felt, particularly at the out-
porta. The bullion is gradually recovering; but had it
not been for the extensive purchases made in London, out
e the Australian arrivals in the current week, it would
have shown a diminution of probably not less than
150,0001. or 200,1001. The total amount of premiums
paid on these purchases since the commencement
of the current halflear, is 24,8271.—a sum quite large
enough to satisfy us that very great purchases must have
been made, much larger, indeed, than are represented by
the simple net increase of 110,0001. Returning to the

THE WAR WITH PERSIA.

Mr. LAYARD wished to knew from the President of
the Board of Control whether Ferouk Khan, Persian
Ambassador to the Emperor of the French, was now
negotiating with Lord Cowley under the authority of
the same full powers which he possessed when at
Constantinople ?
Mr. VERNON SMITH said that since Ferouk
Khan's arrival in Paris there was every reason
to believe that he had received definite instruc-
tions, and he (Mr. Smith) hoped that the
negotiations would arrive at an amicable termination.
As to the papers, his noble friend declined to lay
them on the table while negotiations were pending.
The objection still remained in force, and lie hoped
for the forbearance of the house ; still if any selec-
tion could be made that would not interfere with the
negotiations, ha should be happy to have it prepared.
Mr. LAYAItD would take the first opportunity to
move that these papers be laid on the table.

Mr. GLADSTONE said there were two points upon
which it was material the house should be informed.
First, it was desirable that they should have copies
of the Government orders under which the late ex-
pedition sailed for Persia ; and secondly, copies of
any correspondence that might have taken place
between Government and the directors of the East

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. LowE, in reply to Mr. Bentinck, said that het
would read a few figures, to show what was really
the Ante of the case as regarded railway accidents
In the year 1852, 80,000,000 of persons were carried by
rail, 10 were killed, and 372 injured from causes beyond
their own control. In 1853 the number carried wee
102,000,1x10, the number killed 30, and the wounded, from
causes beyond their own control, 280. In 1854, the num-
bers were 114,000,00;1 carried, 12 killed, and 331 injured.
In 1835, carried 118,000,000, killed 10, injured from
causes beyond their own control, 311. In the last year the
number carried was 125.000,000 the killed 8, and the
injured 282. It appeared from these figures that the
number of persons killed or injured was gradually
diminishing, and therefore Government did not think auy
legislation necessary on the subject.

JUDGMENTS EXECUTION DILL.

➢ir. CRAUFURD moved the second teading of the

bill.

Colonel FRENCH opposed the bill, especially its
application to Ireland, and moved to defer the second
reading for six months.

This aMendment was seconded by Mr. WMArtoN.
Mr. BLIND, Mr. GEORGE, and Mr. H. HUGHE3
strongly objected to the bill upon the ground that
the bill wag founded upon a violation of the principle
that the process of a court should only be used for
the purpose of enforcing the judgments of that
court.

Mr. FITZGERALD defended the bill, the nature of
which, he observed, had been misunderstood or mis-
represented, its object being to remedy a stste of
things which was a disgrace to the law. The bill
had gone through a select committee, where all its
objectionable provisions had been expunged, and its
principle had been four times sanctioned by the
house.

➢lr. Nsrtrn observed that after the bill had passed
the select committee, it had been discussed and
rejected by the house. He admitted that there had
been some misconception and exaggeration respect-
ing the measure, but it was by no means a perfect
one, and he pointed out two main objections—first,
that by some of the provisions the claim of a creditor
would receive greater vitality than it possessed at
present under the law ; and, secondly, that English
creditors pursuing a debtor in Ireland would enjoy
undue advantages over the Irish creditors. The law
of judgments was a large branch of our jurispru-
dence, and ought to be treated as a whole.
The ATTORNEY•GENER\L, in supporting the bill,
observed that there were two classes of objections to
it—first, that there were more Irish than English
debtors; second, that there were technical detals
in the bill which required amendment. These
might be obviated in committee; and, as to the
former objection, l►e did not believe that any Irish
member would found his opposition to the bill upon
the ground that it would give English creditors
greater facilities for compelling a large class of Irish
debtors to pay their debts.
Upon a division the second reading was carried by
50 against 40.

own with respect to church rates; whether they wouldi

Government bills and the amount of business to be

advantage resulting from his introducing a bill

must reserve their right to move any amendments upon.

PERSIA AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Pcst
(second edition) writes:—
It is declared in political circles here that the Persian
Envoy, in a day or two, will receive despatches enabling
him to make peace with England. It is also stated that a
large party in the Principalities are desirous of inviting
Count Walewski to accept the nomination of Governor of
the United Provinces, should it be decided to create a
central Government at Bucharest, and one Hospodar, whose
powers under such circumstances would be almost
sovereign.

CHINA.

The steamer Calcutta arrived at Trieste on Feb-
ruary 13, bringing intelligence from Hong Kong up
to December 30.

All the foreign buildings at Canton have been
pillaged and burnt down. Admiral Seymour had
been throwing hot shot into Canton, but at the latest
dates had desisted from hostilities and was strength-
ening his position.
The Chinese (residents?) had threatened to burn
down the town of Hong Kong.
The lorcha Alma had been taken by Chinese, who
are said to have mutilated the master.

The steamer Thistle, while towing the lorcha
Anonyme, was attacked by 2no junks, and her cap-
tain was obliged to cast off the lorcha and abandon
her with her cargo.
A very had feeling against the British was spread-
ing from Canton to other Chinese ports.
It was rumoured that the Emperor of China was
desirous of peace, but that the inimical feeling of the
Cantonese was uncontrollable.

PERSIA AND AFFGHANISTAN.

According to intelligence received at Bombay from

near that city.
General Sir James Outram, with his staff, sailed
from Bombay for the Persian Gulf on the 16th of
January.

The Government was preparing for immediate
despatch, reinforcements, to form a second division
for service in Persia.

Several interviews had taken place between Bost
Mohammed and Sir John Lawrence. The nature
of their communications had not transpired.
The Russians are concentrating forces on the
Caspian Sea.

It is said that the head quarters of the Russian
army of the Caucasus will be removed to Erivan.

Lord CLARENDON, in reply to Lord Clanricarde,
explained the circumstances which had led, during

had ceased, would lead to the evacuation of Greece
by the allies. The allied forces had been despatched
to suppress any attempt to excite insurrections in
the neighbouring Turkish provinces during the late
war. The war being now over the troops would be
withdrawn. With respect to any proposed inter-
ference in the domestic government of the country,
Lord Clarendon said :

We do not intend to interfere beyond ascertaining what
is the state of their finances, in pursuance of the sugges-
tion of the Greek Government. The only correspondence
at this moment which I can lay on the table is that which
passed between the Russian and French Governments as
to the business which the commission should really under-
take ; and, before the commission is established, it would
be premature to make that public.

" with vices and excesses, which deprive them
" at once of their merit and of their lustre."_

As we said, this critical pie3e on the Co-
venanters merits preservation, though it must
be read with caution ; and we could desire
that it had been impartially annotated. The
sermons of M'Crie are not very remarkable as
pieces of pulpit eloquence. " The Reforma-
tion in Italy" is a valuable tract, but we have
other works of a more copious character on
that subject. In his " Reformation in Spain "
111 r too much weight is given by the author to
Blanco White's statements. We observe that
the editor never alludes to the subsequent and
varied changes in the opinions of Blanco
White, which unquestionably detract from the
value of his assertions. He was a conscientious
but weak man, with graphic vivacity and
limited reflective power.

that very few, we apprehend, will be disposed to give him
the mint of being its author We are happy, however, to
perceive, by looking into his late edition of Swift's Works,
that Mr. Scott is now convinced that the treatment of the
Presbyterians, between 1660 and 1088, was a " persecu-
tion," of which he appeared formerly to entertain some
4 nibts ; and we are not altcgetber without hopes that at
aline fhture period his sentiments may undergo such a
vvolution as to induce him to admit the justice of the
following character of Claverhouse, although he should
not be able to claim the linos in which it is so well
drawn :--

There, worthy of his masters, came.
The despot's champion, bloody Gralime,
To stain for aye a warrior's sword,
And lead • fierce, though fawning, horde,
The Amman bloodhounds of the earth.
To hunt tne peasant from hie hearth !
Tyrants! could not misfortune teach,
That man has rights beyond your reach ?
Thought ye the torture and the stake
Could that intrepid spirit break,
Which even in woman's breast withstood
The terrors of the fire and flood!
M'Crie thus generalised some of the points
of ridicule urged by Scott :

The author's ridicule turns chiefly upon the following
points :—that their ordinary conversation was interlarded
with Scripture phrases—that they were guilty of gross and
ludicrous misapplications of these—that they were con.
stantly harping upon certain cant phrasee, expressive of
their party opinions, or relating to their ecclesiastical dis.
pates—and that the style in which their preachers
usually indulged was mean, coarse, incoherent, and rhap-
sodical.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

INDIA.

SPREAD OF THE MUTINY, AND
FALL OF CAWNPORE.

The following telegraphic communication
from her Majesty's Consul at Cagliari was
received at 7.45 last evening at the Foreign-
office :
ALE:" ..NDRIA, August 14, 9 p.m.
The Nubia ai_ived at Suez today.
She bi'ngs dates from Calcutta to the 21st July ;
Madras, 25th July; Gale, 28th July; Aden, Bth
instant.

The telegraphic message from Suez is meagre and
confused, and there is no time to receive explana-
tion before the depari.ure of the steamer Baotia for
Malta.

It is stated that Delhi is not taken, but the:date is
not given.
General Barrard is reported to have died from
dysentery.
The news given in the Bombay Times of the 14th
of July by last mail, respecting the taking of Cawn-
pore by the rebels, and the massacre of the Euro-
peans there, is confirmed.
The Suez telegraphic message then goes on to
say as follows :—Simoom and Dimalaya at.lved at
Calcutta with about 1,500 of Chinese forces, who
are to proceed at once up the country—only 300
more troops are expected.
General Hancock's forces had beaten the rebels on
three occasions, and taken several guns,',between Alla-
habad and Cawnpore. The latter was retelcen from
Nana Sahib, whom Havelock i. 3 tg up the
Blitter ( ? to Bhitoor), about ten mil.%
Sir Henry Lawrence died of wounds received in a
sortie from Lucknow, where at present all is R ell.
All the troops in Oude mutir4ed.
Agra all quiet. Native troop disaLned.
Gwalior Contingent has mutinied ; supposed to
have marched on Indore.

No political China news given.
The Transit, Government steamer, totally lost iz
the Straits of Sunda. Crew and i-oops all arrived
at Suez to-day.•
This telegraph received from Acting-Consul-
General Green at Alexandria for the Earl of Claren-
don. (Signed) W. S. Cnuo, Consul.
• We print this as received, but no doub. it should ran
thus :

"The Transit, Government steamer, tar 1y lost in the
Straits of Sunda.

"Crew and ti clops ell saved.

" Suez, to day.'
This last is evidently appended u a date to the despatch,
which the Alexandria telegraph of Aug. 14 is quoting.
The Straits of Sunda divide the islands of Java and
Sumatra, and, with the &mita of Malacca, form the
entrances to the Chinese seas.

The above intelligence confirms the well-
founded apprehension expressed on Thursday

political power. An ephemeral Viceroy,
changing every five years, does not adequately
typify the Queen and Cabinet of England to
the Oriental mind. Here is a practical sug-
gestion of the highest value, and we caution
our readers to beware of the logic of those
reasoners who endeavour to mystify the
English public by pretending that "the ethics
of empire " are " unsolved," and that we
must either obey the Company or " discard " it.
What India wants is that the rights of the
British Crown should be more determinately
exercised, and that the system which makes
the Company " a potentate " should be re-
formed, purified, and raised to a level of
policy more worthy of the moral energy of
England.

THE pntss,

accounts of "tremendous repulses " and " awful slaugh-
ters." Had the rebels really suffered to the extent which
inch phrases imply, in six or seven successive actions,
there should have been none of them surviving by this
time. In the meanwhile the progress of disaffection has
received no check.
These expressions of opinion indicate the decided
tendency of public feeling to regard the present
rebellion in India as the result of an organised con •
spiracy, arising from general discontent throughout
India, and from the estrangement, by our perma-
nent misrule, of the princes and proprietary classes
from that authority which they were once disposed
to reverence.

Is the letter of the late Sir CHARLES NAPIER
which was published in the Times on Monday
last, the public were presented with a few
samples of the beneficent Government of India
during late years. We were there told of por-
ters pressed by thousands to carry a Governor-
General's baggage, and then left for above a
year and a half unpaid—of cultivators dragged
from their fields, along with their carts and
bullocks, to convey the baggage and stores of
the army, and so taken hundreds of miles,
often without any remuneration, till their bul-
locks died on the road and their carts had
fallen to bits—of men detained in this way
months and sometimes years from their homes,
and then finding on their return their wives in
the keeping of the officials who had pressed
them—and of organised debaucheries on the
part of the governing class calculated to drive
the dart deep into the native's soul. There is
no one acquainted with what we may call
India behind the scenes who will not at once
recognise the truth and fidelity of the old
hero's tale. We have reason to believe upon
the best authority that one Resident turned
his Residency into a scene of wholesale juve
nile prostitution. We have heard, too,
of other high functionaries acting over
again the part of Angelo with Isabella.
We could name an Indian civilian who has
boasted openly that when either of the parties
to a suit before him was a woman, and a
pretty one, he always made the sacrifice of
her honour the price of his decree. We could
point out a district where the feeling of the
people on the subject of the misconduct of
women is so strong that the discovery of
misbehaviour invariably entails death on the
erring sister, or daughter, or wife, and as a
consequence the execution afterwards of the
husband, father, or brother who has thus wiped
out, as he supposes. the family stain. And in
that district a regiment composed largely of
the lowest caste men has been openly en-
couraged by their commanding officer in
schemes of systematic seduction and abduc•
tion ; and he has used language so gross when
remonstrated with by the police officers and
the magistrates that it would have insured
his expulsion with ignominy from any other
service in the world. Yet that man has
enjoyed the protcetion of the Government
because he happened to have interest
with the Governor ; and the regiment has
been notorious for its outrages and infamies
from that day to this. Indeed, all who have
read the "Life of Napier," or studied Indian
questions general!y, must have long since
observed that it is not on the perpetrators of
abuses, but on the exposers of them that the
East India Directors have always hurled their
bolt. Their maxim throughout has been,
" Collect for us as much money as pos-
" Bible ; and as to the rest do just as you like,
" only do not trouble us."
Micarav-Eua tells us that the most absolute
despotism may long flourish, provided that
