CHURCF. PATES.

Sir J. TRELAWNY put the following question to
Lord Palmerston :

I wish to ask the noble lord at the head of the Govern
ment whether it is his intention to introduce a bill this
session on the subject of church rates'?
Lord PALMERSTON : The Government have a measure
upon the subject in course of preparation, and we hope to
be able before long to submit it to the consideration of
the honse.

Sir J. TRELAWNT : The answer of the noble lord does
not appear to me to be satisfactory, and I fear I shall there-
fore be under the necessity of bringing forward this eve-
ning the motion with regard to church rates which stands
on the paper in my name.
Sir J. PAKINOTON : The noble lord says it is his inten-
tion to introduce a bill before long." I wish to know
whether he means by those words during the present
session ? They might very well mean next session.
Lord PALMERSTON : Next sessian is a very long time to
look forward to. I meant, of course, that Government
intend to introduce the bill during the present session.
Sir J. TRELAWNY said that, after the noble lord's
last answer, he should withdraw his motion.

The line will be 920 miles in length, and it is to be per-
fected by the :11st October. The British Government
guaranteo six per cent. upon the capital for twenty•five
years.

The unremunerative state of the Manchester markets,
the reduction in values being more than five per cent.
since March, has caused a large extension this week of
the system of sh•'rt time, and, as stocks are still increasing,
it is believed that numerous factories in dist►icts now fully
in work will speedily follow. The shortest period during
which employers have engaged to restrict their production
is one month ; but in many cases the engagement is
indefinite, to be continued or abandoned as circumstances
may require. Several failurei have occurred in consequence
of the state of trade; one, tins week in Manchester, is for
a heavy amount. The general trade of the counts•,
however, appears active ; but the diminution of profits is
a universal complaint, and it entails much difficulty and
embarrassment among persons of small capital.

you had barely enough to keep life and soul together

economy. (Laughter.) It's the cheapest way I can
spend my evening. At home 1 must burn fire and
candle, and have something to eat and drink ter my-
self and friend, and at an expense of 2s. or 3s. at the
least; while here I get warmed, lighted, lodged, and
amused, with plenty of good company around me,
and all for 3d.' There was philosophy in this, ladies
and gentlemen, and I recommend it to your serious
consideration." (Much laughter.)

Mn. ARCHIBALD HAsTrE, M.P. for Paisley, died at
Edinburgh on Monday last. Mr. Hustle had been
much indisposed for some months ; but it was
hoped, until recently, that the strength of his con-
stitution would enable him to recover. He was in
his sixty-fifth year. Mr. Hastie was in many re-
spects a remarkable man. He was descended of
respectable parents in the west of Scotland. He had
merely the common school education of his country ;
but that and his native sense fitted him to fill with
credit various important situations. At an early
period his brothers settled in Calcutta, where they
carried on business partly as coachbuilders and
partly as merchants, while he settled in London,
acting partly as their agent and partly speculating
on his own account. The whole family were very
successful. At a later period Mr. Hastie became
connected with the East India Docks, and his
sagacity and ability were eminently displayed in the
skill and success with which he assisted in rescuing
that important concern from the depression into
which its affairs had sunk after the cessation of its
monopoly. A purchase which he effected of some
property in Lanarkshire has also turned out to be
extremely advantageous. In 1836 Mr. Hastie was
elected member of Parliament for Paisley—a dis-
tinction on which he set a high value. And it may
be said that it cost him a high price, for, owing to
the severe distress with which his constituents were
frequently visited, very heavy demands were made
upon him, which he met with the greatest generosity
and goodwill. In politics Mr. liastie was an inde-
pendent consistent Liberal, and voted uniformly with
that party in Parliament. In private life he was in
the highest degree generous, openhearted, and
friendly. His hospitalities were conducted on a
large and a liberal scale. He was the owner of
Burns' punchbowl, and the celebrations of the poet's
birthday held at his house were by far the best of
such festivals.

LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

THE annual ceremony of swearing in the L'rd
Mayor took place on Monday last in the Court of
Exchequer. The learned barons present were the
Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron
Watson, and Mr. Baron Channell. The Right Hon.
the Lord Mayor, preceded and accompanied by the
usual procession, left the Mansion-house by one p.m.,
and, continuing the entire route by land, reached
Westminster shortly before two o'clock, and entered
the court, preceded by the various civic functionaries
and accompanied by the late Lord Mayor (Alderman
Finnis), Mr. Sheriff Lawrence, Mr. Sheriff Allen, the
Recorder, and several aldermen, dc.

The RECORDER, addressing the learned barons,
said he had the honour to present to their lordships
the Right Hon. Sir Robert Walter Carden, M.P. for
the city of Gloucester, who had been elected by the
citizens of London to fill the high office of chief
magistrate for the ensuing year.
The Lord Chief Baron congratulated the Lard
Mayor upon being raised to the highest honour
which it was in the power of his fellow citizens to
confer, and the usual formalities having been gone
through and the invitation to the banquet given, the
Lord Mayor returned with the same ceremony to
the City.

BELGIUM.

The Ministerial crisis has resulted in the formation
of a Liberal Ministry, with M. llogier, Minister of
the Interior ; M. Fri:re-When, Minister of Finance;
M. Teach, Minister of Justice; M. de Vriere,
Minister of Foreign Maus ; General Berten,
Minister of War.
The Legislative Chambers were opened on Tues.
day, the lOtTi, without any solemnity. Contrary to
parliamentary usage, the King was not present, and
there was no speech ►n his name. After the usual
formalities, a decree adjourning the Chambers was
read, and the members separated. It is expected
that the dissolution of the Chambers will be imme-
diately auounced, and fresh elections ordered to take
place.
The following are a few particulars relative to the
members of the new Belgian Cabinet :
M. Charles Rogier, formerly member of the National
Congress and of the Provisional Government, is well
known. His political career dates hack to 1830. lie has
already been twice Minister of the Interior, in 1832 and
in 1817, and directed in 1810 the Department of Public
Works. M. Frere-Urban, who commenceo hits career as an
advocate at Liege, formed part of the Cabinet of August,
1817, first as Minister of Public Works, and afterwards as
Minister of Finance. He has distinguished himself both
by his administrative finalities and by his talent as a
speaker. Baron de Vrtere, who in order to enter the
Ministry resigns the post of Governor of Western Flanders,
belongs to one of the first families at Bruges. He has
belonged to the diplomatic body, having been Belgian
Minister at Copenhagen and at Lisbon. General Berten
is an officer of merit. Before he was promoted to the rank
of general he commanded the regiment of Guides.

THE MAILS.

The whole of the Indian mails will be in London
to-day. The Bombay portion (brought by the Van-
guard) left Marseilles Thursday night at ten o'clock,
and may be expected here at an early hour this
morning. The Calcutta portion (brought by the
Valetta) left at ten o'clock yesterday morning, and
may be expected here this afternoon.

We must refer our readers to the Postcript (page
1110) for the latest Indian intelligence received up to
the time of going to press.

The Ghoorkas appear to make excellent soldiers.
An officer, writing from the camp at Delhi, tells an
anecdote or two of their coolness and courage :

The Ghoorkas are very steady unOer fire, and retire
beautifully. One dsy they could not bring away all their
dead, so they hid them with branches of trees, and went
out the next morning to bring them in. The other day a
rifleman of 2nd E. B. Fusiliers and a Ghoorka were
standing together in a breastwork, when the enemy were
out, and our Pandy had crawled up close to them, under
shelter of a piece of rock, and they could not hit him, as
he just put his musket over the stone and fired ; so the
Ghoorka put down his musket and drew his " Kookree,"
or heavy hunting-knife, and crawled up to this stone, and
as soon as he saw the musket over the stone he jumped
up, seized the man and cut his head off, before he knew
anything about it : this was told me by an eye-witness.
Up in the batteries, one day, a native artilleryman said he
was going down to drink some water, got over the parapet,
and went down the hill towards Delhi ; a Ghoorka saw
him, and said, " That man is going into Delhi, I go and
look after him ;" and sure ennngh the brute was going
into the city, little thinking a Ghoorka was stalking him
like a deer ; the man got close to the walls, when he was
shot b 3 the Ghoorka, and the little fellow came back justly
proud of his feat.

THE LATE BRIGADIER GENERALS
NICHOLSON AND NEILL.
GENERAL JOHN NICHOLSON, of the 27th Bengal
Native Infantry, who is reported to have died of his
wounds received in the assault of Delhi, was the
eldest son of the late Dr. Alexander Nicholson, who
owned a small landed property in the county of
Down, and who died a few years since, having prac-
t ised with considerable success as a physician at
Virgemont, county of Dublin. His mother was a sister
of Sir James Weir Hogg, late Chairman of the East
India Company, and formerly M.P. for Beverley and

POSTSCRIPT.

LATEST FROM INDIA.

The following telegram has been received at the
East India-house :

DELIII.—The intelligence of the occupation of
the whole city of Delhi, on the Vtli of September,
has been confirmed.

The King and the Begum were captured on the
21st by Lieutenant Hodson. Two of the King's sons
were killed.

No despatches have yet been published, so that
the exact amount of the British loss is not known ;
but there is no doubt that it is much larger than
was at first supposed.
It is believed to have amounted to some 1,150
killed and wounded, including 01 officers.
The mutineers have tied, some to It ihilound, some
to Muttra, and some, it is believed, towards Oude.
Pursuing columns have been organised, and one,
under the command of Colonel Greathed, of her Ma-
jesty's Sth Foot, fell in with the Jahnsi mutineers at
Boolundshuhur, on the •29th of September, and de-
feated them with a loss of 400 men. Mr. Greathed,
the C mninissioner of Delhi, died on the 19th of
September, of cholera. Brigadier-General Nichol-
son died on the .23rd of September of the wounds
received in the assault.
Lucknow was relieved on the 25th of September
by General Havelock's force ; particulars are not
yet known, but the British loss was severe, amount
ing to at least 440.
The gallant General Neill was among the killed ;

also the following officers :—Major Cooper, Artillery ;
Lieutenant Webster, 79th; Lieutenant Pakenham,
S-ith ; Lieutenant Bateman, tlAth ; Lieutenant
Warren, 12th Irregular Cavalry.
The relief was just in time, as the enemy had
advanced some mines under the British position,
which would have placed the brave garrison at their
mercy.
BENGAL.—Ti:ere is no news of any importance
from Vie Bengal provine.s. Order appears to be
restore 1.

PUNJAIII3.—The predatory tribes on the Gogaira
have plundere i the police post on the Lahore and
Moultal road, and caused a temporary interruption
of poste communication. Detachments of horse and
foot police attacked the plunderers, and killed a great
number, including their chief.
The co nmu deation is now restored, and the
PtAis lb has, with this exception, remained quiet.

nu ter the command of Captain Bidden, attacked
the insurgents at Muudree, in the vieinity of

London, England, 1857-11-14

THE PRESS, NOVEMBER 14, 1857.

The enemy were defeated, driven out of Mundree
with a loss of 200.
JUBBULPORE.—The advanced guard of the Madras
column engaged the mutineers of the 52nd Bengal
Native Infantry, near Jubbulpore, on the 25th of
September, and killed 150 of them. After their
defeat, the mutineers barbarously murdered Lieu-
tenant McGregor, who was a prisoner in their hands.
EaJPOOTANA.—NOtiIing new occurred in Raj-
pootana.
The Jodhpore mutineers are still in force at Ajah.
It is stated that they have extracted a large sum
from the town of Pelee as a ransom.
A reinforcement is proceeding to join General
Lawrence.
Mriow AND INDOBE.—The i%lalwa country is in
very disturbed state.
The cantonment of Sbopahwur has been burnt.
Dhar, Amjeera, and Mundlaiser are disaffected.
The Mhow field force is moving in the direction
of Saugor, and orders are immediately to be issued
to the column at Aurungabad to proceed to Mhow
for the purpose of protecting the Bombay frontier,
which otherwise would be open to attack from the
Gwalior rebels.
SCINDE.—MI has remained quiet in Scinde since
the despatch of the last mail. The state of the
frontier is not satisfactory, although perhaps less
gloomy than it was a short time ago. General
Jacob, who has just returned from Bushire, proceeds
immediately to Seinde and the frontier.
BOMBAY PBESIDENCY.—Them has been an out-
break of the Bheels in Kliandeish, and also in
Nasaick, but stringent measures are in progress for
the suppression of such movements. On the 4th of
October, Lieutenant Henry, the superintendent of
police, attacked the Nassick Bheels at Sonwur, and
drove them from their position; but he was himself
killed in leading his men to the assault.
In Guzerat Chundup, a village in the Mabee
Kaunta, has been stockaded and the authorities de•
fled, but the disaffection has not spread to other
villages, and a detachment advancing to reduce the
villages. With this slight exception all Guzerat has
remained perfectly quiet.
The Deccan and Southern Mahratta country are
quite quiet.
In Bombay itself a few sepoys of the 10th Regi-
ment and Marine battalion have been detected in
plotting against the Government; two have been
tried, convicted, and blown from guns ; three more
are in custody and under trial.
NIZAM'S COUNTRY.—AII is quiet in the Nizam's
country.
MADRAS.—AII is quiet in the Madras Presidency.

RAVEN,

A St. Petersburg letter, in the New Prussian
Gazette, says :
. .

• _
The expectation which has been gradually gaining
ground of the speedy suppression of slavery has become a
certainty since the return of the Emperor. It is now
known that his Majesty is firmly resolved on this reform,
and it is thought that the Nth December, the fete-cla7 of
the Emperor Nicholas, has been fixed on for the pal:idea-
tion of this measure, because his late Majesty, when on
his death-bed, recommended it to his son.
London, England, 1857-11-14

LONDON, SATURDAY,!NOVEMBER 14, 1857.

THE news from India is of a very mixed
description, in which it is difficult to say
whether the good or the evil element most
predominates. On the one hand,ithere is the
cap ture of Delhi, which is an advantage that
as far as our prestige is concerned it would be
difficult to overvalue; on the other, there is the
1°43 of nearly thirteen hundred officers and
men in the shape of kitled and wounded,
which will be almost enough to deprive us
for the present of the power of following up
the advantage in any substantial shape. We
mean as far as impression on the rebels is
concerned ; for the two thousand men de-
tached under General GREATHED will probably
confine themselves to the relief of Agra, to-
wards which their route was bent. Nor is the
slaughter of the to wnspeople at Delhi, which
is reported, likely to aid our cause ; on the
contrary, it will stimulate other towns and
other provinces to resistance, and induce them
to share the fate in life, as it would seem that
we have doomed them to share it in death, of
the mutineers. At Lucknow, again, the rescue
of the garrison, as at first represented, was a
subject of general joy ; but the later news
from Calcutta shows that the relief is, after
all, to a certain extent illusory, as the force
under HAVELOCK is unable to draw off the
garrison or reduce the city without
the aid of two additional brigades, and a pro-
portionate supply of guns. How these are to
be moved up within any reasonable period we
do not see. No doubt there are men enough
and guns enough at Calcutta for the occasion ;
but how to get them to Lucknow is the point
in question. Nor is it a difficulty so easy to
be surmounted as some may think. It is the
difficulty in Indian warfare which we have all
along pointed out. And those who may have
distrusted our accuracy will do well to remem-
ber that, though throughout the four months
during which our fate in India has
hinged almost exclusively on the success of
our operations at Delhi and Lucknow, we have
never had less than 42,000 European troops in
India, and for a great part of the time many
more, and though every nerve has been
strained by the Government to the uttermost,
and everything done that they could do to
move European troops up, yet that -i,;00 Euro-
peans are the most we have ever had at Delhi,
and 1,700 with HAVELOCK, or 0,400 in all.

How, then, the required two brigades and
artillery are to be got to Lucknow at once we
are unable to comprehend, unless thB com-

Contains iodine, phosphate of lime, volatile fatty acids—in
short, all the most essential curative properties—in touch larger
quantities than the Pale Oils manufactured in Great Britain and
Newfoundland, mainly deprived of these by their mode of pre-
paration.
rile well-merited celebrity of Dr. de Jongh's Oil is attested by
its extensive use in France, Germany, Russia, Holland, and Bel-
gium, by numerous spontaneous testimonials from distinguished
members of the Faculty and scientific Chemists of European re•
putation, and, since its introduction into this country, by the
marked success with which it has been prescribeu by the Me-
dical Profession.
lu innumerable cases, where other kinds of Cod Liver Oil hail
been taken with little or no benefit, it has produced almost im-
mediate relief, arrested disease, and restored health.

OPINION OF C.RADCLYFFE HALL, Esq., M.D•, F.R.C.P.E.,
Physician to the Hospital for Consumption, Torquay, Author of
" Essays on Pulmonary Tubercle," ctc. ttc.
" I have no hesitation in saying that I generally prefer your
Cod Liver Oil for the following reasons :—I have found it to
agree better with the digestive organs, especially in those pa-
tients who consider themselves to be bilious ; it seldom causes
nausea or eructation ; it is more palatable to most patients than
the other kinds of Cod Liver Oil; it is stronger, and conse•
quently a smaller dove is sufficient."

PERILS OF THE CHURCH.

WE never permitted ourselves to doubt that
the unconstitutional injustice of the late
Divorce Act wouli receive the consideration
of the Church before the next meeting of Par-
liament. The first signs of approaching ac-
tivity are presented by the Bishop of OXFORD'S
late address to his clergy, and a petition which
is in course of signature, praying further in-
quiry into the subject. Before proceeding to
comment on the character of these proceed-
ings, we must warn our readers once
and for all against supposing that if the
objectors to the late statute constitute a
minority they would not therefore be en-
titled to adopt the tone they do. " These

WE believe that a communication will be sent by
the mail which leaves for India this evening, to the
effect that her Majesty has desired that Sir John
Lawrence shall be promoted to the first class (Grand
Cross) of the Order of the Bath.—Globe, Tuesday.

THE Gibraltar Chronicle states that the Paeba of
Egypt has expressed his surprise that the British
Government has not availed itself of the facilities of
the railway in le:gypt for passing English troops
through that country to put down :he mutiny in
India.

THE SECRETARY-AT WAR has issued orders direct-
ing that the following Irish militia regiments shall
forthwith embark for England, viz.—The Antrim
Rifles, Cork Rifles, North Down Rifles, Limerick
Artillery, and Dublin (City) Militia. The latter
corps will proceed to Aldershott, and the others will
take garrison duty fur the purpcse of relieving regi-
ments of the line ordered on Indian service.
THE MEN OF THE (NTH LIGHT INFANTRY, under
oilers to embark for India in the Australasian,
were invited by their officers to partake of a fare-
well dinner in the concert-room of the Crystal
ralace at one o'clock on Thursday. The presence
of the wive•: and children of many of the men added
much to the interest of the occasion. The 09th
Infantry proceed to India overland.

Alexandria, Nov. 5 1R57.
Delhi was entirely in our possession on the 20. h of
September.
The King and Queen were captured on the 21st by
Lieutenant Hodson. Two of the King's sons were killed.
No official account has yet been received, but our loss is
much greater than was at first supposed.
The mutineers have gone towards Rohilcund and
Muttra, and some to Oude, being followed up by our
troo pa.
Mr. Greathed, Commissioner of Delhi, died 19th Sep-
tember of cholera, and General Nicholson on the 23rd of
wounds received in the assault.

Lucknow relieved September 225th; particulars not
known. Our loss was severe; about 500 killed and
wounded. General Neill among the killed. The relief
just in time ; the enemy having advanced their mines,
which would have placed the garrison at their mercy.
Advanced guard of the Madras columns defeated the
mutineers of the 5.2nd Bengal infantry, near Jubbulpore,
on the 25th, killing about 150. The Malwa country is in
a disturbed state. Ithopawur has been burnt.
Dhar, Amjheera, and Mundesar are disaffected. Forces
are moving towards :Mow. All is quiet in Scinde, but the
state of the frontier is not satisfactory. General Jacob
proceeds immediately to Scinde.
There has been an outbreak of Bheels in —, and a
plot discovered at Bombay. The Deccan and Southern
Mahratta States all quiet, as also the Nizam's country and
Madras Presidency.

pulled to pieces, part rammed into a pistol, and the
rest held in charge of one of the audience. The
professor deliberately fires, when, presto, the original
hat, rotund, shining, and in excellent condition,
is seen sticking to the ceiling far overhead, while
a huge doll is left in the lap of the holder. It is
without exception the most elaborate and cleverest
trick we hay ever witnessed, and should make the
reputation of the professor. Altogether the enter-
tainment is extremely good, there is not too much,
it is not tedious, and there are no long pauses. Each
trick rapidly succeeds another, and the whole are
well sustained and most cleverly executed.

The Vanguard, at Marseilles, Nov. 12, reports
that the Emeu, with the September mail, left Sydney
on the 11th of September ; Melbourne, the 17th ;
the Sound, the 25th; Galle, the Oil of October; and
Aden, the 18th.
In the night of the 20th of October she struck on
a coral reef in the Red Sea, got off crippled, and was
run ashore on the east coast of Nubia to keep her
from sinking. She arrived leaky at Suez on the 3nl
of November, and transhipped 6-10,(X)0/. in gold to
the Australasian, for Southampton, from Sydney and
Melbourne.
No Australian mail has arrived. It is supposed
' to have been taken by the mailboat Deddak, and in
that case will reach Suez in three weeks. _ _

There had been great floods in New South Wales,
and considerable destruction of property on the
Hunter, Paterson, and other rivers.
The ship Dunbar, from London to Sydney, had
been totally lust. The crew and passengers, 140 in
number, all perished, except one seaman, Johnson.
The cargo was valued at 70,0001.
All was well at the gold-fields. A prolific mine
had been discovered at Aaraut, 120 miles from Aid-

bourne. Some prolific goldfields had been disco-
vered at Nelson, in New Zealand ; 1,500 ounces had
arrived thence at Sydney.

PERSIA.
Despatches from Teheran, of the 18th of October,
state that a civil war has brokenl out with great vio-
lence.

Two Turcoman columns had entered the country,

Government of the Shah to consent to an armed
intervention. This the Shah refused, and had sent
an Ambassador Extraordinary to Tiflis, with autho-
rity to proceed to St. Petersburg in case of need.
The same arrival announces that Ferouk Khan
had been recalled, and appointed Sadrasam.
