TN REMEMBRANCE of the late Mr.
1. DOUGLAS JERROLD. In answer to the "CAUTION TO
THE PUBLIC" which has been inserted in the newspapers by
the committee, Miss Julia Pastrana's guardian begs to state
that certain intended exhibitions, " wholly unsanctioned by
them" and the " unauthorised use of their Honorary Secretary's
name," of which they complain, are entirely an error of judg-
ment on the part of Miss Pastrana's guardian, who, being an
AMERICAN, was ignorant of the fact that any proposed repre-
sentation for the benefit of the Jerrold Fund should have the
sanction of the committee, anti he trusts they, and particularly the
public, will acquit him of any intention whatever, beyond a desire
to aid in a philanthropic matter. It being still his intention to
give the benefit, and, should the committee still persevere in
their original intention, to hand over the proceeds for the benefit
of any charitable purpose they may thin& fit to name.—Regent

"The composition of genuine Cod Liver Oil is not so simple
RR might be supposed. DR. DE JONOH gives the preference to
the Light-Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely
any volatile fatty acid, a smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric
acid, and the elements of bile, and upon which ingredients the
efficacy of Cod Liver Oil, no doubt, partly depends. Some of the
deficiencies of the Pale Oil are attributable to the method
of its preparation, and especially to its filtration through
charcoal. IN THE PREFERENCE Or THZ LIGHT BROWN

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Earl of

in moving for some

papers, criticised the military operations in Bengal
consequent upon the mutiny of the sepoys, and
censured the Government for the neglect they had
evinced in not providing the means of land transport.
Owing to this deficiency, he contended, Sir A.
Barnard had been left without reinforcements, and
disabled from attacking Delhi for many weeks after
that operation might have been accomplished, and
the revolt crushed in that quarter. This delay, the
noble lord remarked, occurred at a very critical
period, since the approach of the rainy season would
render the position occupied by the English force
altogether untenable.

Earl GRANVILLE replied, and referred to documents
showing, as he submitted, that the Governor-General
had omitted nothing in his power to accelerate the
military operation. He proceeded to remark with
some pungency upon the impropriety of civilian
oriticism touching military affairs.

The Earl of MALMESBURY supported and enforced
the censure of Lord Ellenborough on the Indian
Government.

The Duke of ARGYLL rene wed the Ministerial
Inculpations, and the subject dropped.
Various bills were forwarded a stage, and their
lordships adjourned at ten minutes to seven o'clock.

trickled from the chin above,—its little per centage upon

that called for its share, and generously disdained to be but.
toned. I think this is the only specimen I have seen yet
of the personage still so frequently described in the Irish
novels—the careless thinking 'squire—the Irish Will
Whimble.

" Sir," says he, " as I was telling you before this gentle-
man came in ( from Westport, I preshmue, sir, by the
mail; and ` my service to you!' ), the butchers in Chum.
Tuam)—where I live, and shall be happy to see you and
give you a shake down, a cut of mutton, and the use of as
good a brace of pointers as ever you shot over—the
butchers say to me, whenever I look in at their shops, and
ask for a joint of meat—they say : ' Take down that
quarther o' mutton, boy, it's no use weighing it for Mr.
Bodkin. He can tell with an eye what's the weight of
it to an ounce!' And so, sir, I can ; and I'd make a bet
to go into any market in Dublin, Tchtime. Ballinasloe,
where von please, and just by looking at the meat decide
its weight."

At the pause, during which the genileman, here th-sig-
nated Bodkin, drank off his materials, the young oiliner
said gravely, that this was a very rare and valuable
accomplishment, and thanked him for the invitation to

T chutu. e.

The honest gentleman proceeded with his personal
memoirs ; and ( with a charming modesty that authenti-
cated his tale, while it interested his hearers for the teller)
he called for a fresh tu•nbler, and began discoursing about
horses. " Them, 1 don't know," says he, confessing the
fact at once, " or, if I do, I've been always so unlucky with
them that it's as good as if 1 didn't.
_ . .

" To give you an idea of my ill-fortune: Me brother-'n-
law Burke once sent me three colts of his to sell at this
very fair of Itallinasloe ; and, for all I could do, I could
only get a bid for one of 'em, and sold her for sixteen
pound. And d'ye kflow what that mare was, sir ?" says
dlr. Bodkin, giving a thump that made the spoon jump
out of the punch glass for fright,—" D'ye know who she
was^ she was Wster•Wagtail, sir,—Water•Wagtail! She
won fourteen cups and plates in Ireland before she went
to Liverpool; and you know what she did there?" (We
slid, " Oh! of course.") " Well, air, the man who bought
her from me, sold her for four limier' guineas ; and in
England she fetched eight hunder' pounds!"

Tffr, HAIWEST is progressing most rapidly. The
crops are large and heavy. Wheats are remarkable
for the length and squareness of the ear. Oats in
many places are already housed. Some large
breadths of barley are out in good condition. Peas
and beans are abundant. The crops are ripening so
fast that it is difficult to decide which field to begin
first. If the weather bolds fine for ten days the bulk
of the harvest will be over, and by this day week
many samples will have been laid on the market
tables.

A FEARFUL RAILWAY COLLISION occurred last

SUPERANNUATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

The adjourned debate on the second reading of
this bill was resumed.
Mr. limn continued his argument against the bill,
which he opposed as imperfect in its framework, as
unjust in its operations, as quite unnecessary, as
based upon erroneous statements, as involving a
needless and extravagant expenditure of public
money, and especially us recognising and encourag-
ing a breach of contract. Tho question was, not
whether or not there should be an abatement, but
whether they would consent to add 100,0001. a year
to the salaries of one third of the public servants,
out of whioh the richest would get five per cent., a
poorer class two and a half, and the lowest class
nothing.

THE concluding concert was given yesterday after.
noon. The orchestra, conducted by Costa, played
the overtures Oberon and Zastpa ; and the celebrated
finale, the " Benediction des Poignards," from Meyer-
beer's Huguenots, was superbly executed. Mario won a
rapturous encore in the English ballad of "Good
bye, Sweetheart ;" Grisi was compelled to repeat the
prayer from Otello ; and Mme. Bosio was equally
complimented in Venzano's False. Mendelssohu's
part song, "Autumn," was nicely rendered by the

SPAIN AND MEXICO.

We have reason to believe that the serious
differences between Spain and Mexico have
at length, by the united efforts of France and
England, been satisfactorily settled, and that
the Duke de Rivas, who has just arrived in
Paris from Madrid, is the bearer of despatches
confirming this intelligence.

FRANCE.

The Emperor returned to Paris on Wednesday.
His Majesty drove down the Bonlevards unattended
by any escort, and was warmly received by the
assembled crowds.

The Prince of Canino, Lucien Bonaparte, died on
Wednesday.
The trial of the three Italians, charged with com-
plicity in the plot against the life of the Emperor,
has been fixed for Thursday next. The prisoners,
when brought before the President of the Court
of Assizes, were asked if they had chosen counsel
for their defence. As they had taken no such
step, the court appointed counsel to attend to their
interests.

CORN EXCHANGE The present week's arrivals of
home-grown wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been
very moderate. For most kinds the demand has slightly im-
proved; but we have no alteration to notice in the quotations.
A few speculative purchases have been effected in foreign
wheats, at fully previous rates. Now English barley has sold
at 41s to 44s per quarter. The quality of the samples has been
comparatively light. Interior foreign samples have fallen la
per quarter, with a dull inquiry. There has been a slow sale
for malt, on former terms. We have to report a dull inquiry for
oats, at a fell of fully 6d per quarter. Beans have been unal-
tered in value. New peas have come to hand. The flour trade
has ruled inactive, on former terms.

jealous. Their opinions are entitled to just
that consideration which we award to all
honest and candid men, for such we believe
them to be ; but. it is no less our duty to pro-
test against their version of a subject of which
their inexperience is only surpassed by their
prejudices.
Secondly is to he enumerated the pedantic
bureaucratic class, who look with dislike on
the old, free, national system of England.
The misfortunes of the Russian war supplied
this party with a handle they have not been
slow to work. Hitherto, however, they have
only found in it the "cow with the iron tail."
Their milk-and-water orations in favour of
military pedant), have not been palatable to
the nation. They gaze with a wistful eye on
the isolated masses of trained soldiers which
are alternately the terror and the wonder of
continental kingdoms. A vast establishment of
military schools, and a strict professional
class of dependent officers, would reali-e their
ideal. The increase of patronage thereby
accruing to the Government, and the slur
thrown upon our ancient constitutional sys-
tem, cannot fail to be agreeable to a certain
class of mongrel politicians. But our old
feelings on this subject are still strong amongst
us, and for many a long day the bureaucratists
would be condemned to remain in an odious
minority did they not make catspaws of
that lower middle class we have previously
described.

The country may depend upon this. The
present outcry against our military organisa-
tion is a masked attack on the position of the
English gentry. It is earnestly desired by
some that the word " gentleman" should be-
come an official designation—a thing that can
be bought, sold, or given away, and so ren-
dered destitute of either social or constitu-
tional significance. At present an English-
man is an officer because ho is a gentleman.
May the day never come when he is a gentle-
man because he is an officer.

P,►ais, Friday.

The Moniteur announces that France has obtained
an authorisation from Baden to construct a perma-
nent bridge over the Rhine, between Strasburg and
Kehl.

It is announced that the Imperial Court goes into
five days' mourning for the Prince of Canino.

The Paris correspondent of yesterday's Morning
Post (second edition) states :

The news which has reached Paris from India appears
to correspond with that you have published in London in
its main features. The French Government is not in
possession of any details beyond those brought by the
telegraph as to the state of India, but previous despatches
speak, I am informed, of a greater amount of discontent
in the Indian army generally than appear in the English
acoounte. Reports from Russian sources go still further,
and declare we cannot depend on the loyalty of the troops
in any part of our Indian empire. I fear we shall find
more truth in these assertions than you seem to believe in
England, tailless, indeed, the intrigues of our enemies have
failed, and we hear not what has actually occurred, but
that which they hoped and expected would take place.

On the 21st of June the French consul at Calcutta
called together all the French inhabitants and cap-
ta'ns of French vessels, and desired them to furnish
and equip armed men, to watch over the safety of
the European community. The French families
were taken on board the vessels, and all Europeans
are armed.

FRIDAY E Telma.
Tae return of the Bank of England for the week ending
the I.sth inst., shows the following cuanges compared with
that for the week preceding :
Decrease in Circulation
Increase in Public Deposits
Decrease In Other Deposits
Decrease in Securities
Decrease in Bullion
Increase in Rest .... 88,783
Increase in Reserve
Bullion iu Both Departments
Circulation, including Rank Post
Rills
This comparison bears eviden:e of a demand for money,
although the securities show a decrease, inasmuch as a
large amount of private deposits was withdrawn for active
employment elsewhere. It is believed that no inisonsider.
sole portion of the sum withdrawn was on account of the
East India Company. The Bullion shows a large diminu-
tion—larger than was expected ; and the reduction will be
continued next week, owing for the most part to the re-
quirements of the silver market and the additional circula-
tion of ooin, caused by harvest operations. The Public
Deposits are again rising, the present addition being one
of a considerable character. Altogether this return, when
read in conjunction with the state of the Money Market,

TURKEY.

Constantinople journals of the 17th say that the
question of the Principalities still continued the
leading subject of interest, and appeared to be getting
more complicated than ever. On Redscbid Pacha
being informed that the representatives of France,
Russia, Sardinia, and Prussia refused positively to
hold a conference with the ambassadors of England
and Austria, he immediately called a meeting of the
Council of Ministers, but when the packet left
nothing had transpired as to the result of their
deliberations. Some idea of the importance of the
discussion may be formed, when it is stated that the
council did not break up until three o'clock in the
morning. The Sardinian, French, Russian, and Prus-
sian commissioners bad protested against the ilk-

gality practised in drawing out the electoral lists in
Moldavia.

A telegraphic despatch received in Paris states
that a great number of the most eminent personages
in Moldavia have protested against the elections of
July 10.
A note, signed by Lord Stratford do Redcliffe and
M. Thouvenel, demands—

That the Forte shall decree the banishment of
the judges who condemned the Jew lately executed
at Tunis.

2. That tha tanziman shall be proclaimed at
Tunis.

3. That an indemnity shall be granted to the
family of the victim.

PERSIA.
Mr. Murray has consented to make his entry into
Teheran without being attended by a large military
escort.

AMERICA.
Under date of Washington, July 17, the New York
Herald publishes the following :
The President received a telegraphic despatch this
morning, dated at Leavenworth yesterday, from Governor
Walker, stating that a serious insurrection had broken out
at Lawreuce, and that he had called out the United States'
troops to suppress it. The Governor had started imme•
diately for Lawrence. The cause of the outbreak is not
known, but it is supposed to have originated from opposi-
tion to some of the territorial laws—probably the tax law.

Advices from St. Louis of the 17th state that the
Democrat has advises from Kansas, announcing that
Governor Walker had issued a proclamation declaring
his intention to put down all opposition to the terri-
torial laws by force, and censuring the citizens of
Lawrence, and warning them not to organise under
the Topeka charter. Seven hundred troops are
rumoured to have been ordered to march against
Lawrence, and Walker is said to have a design to
retain the army in Kansas, and to break up the Utah
expedition.

THE PRESS, AUGUST 15, 1857.

Schamyl, of which we have had only a brief men-
tion. Prince Orbelian, wishing to occupy the plateau
of Salatavia, advanced in force towards that position
in the middle of June. A desperate battle which
lasted for five hours ensued. The Russians, accord-
ling to the report, had only three officers and eight
soldiers killed and forty-four soldiers wounded.
Prince Orbelian attained the object of his move-

ment, and got possession of the important post of
Salatavia.

The Emperor of Russia has sacct.i'ned the plan
of General Katenin for establishing a separate staff
of eighteen persons, whose duty it shall be to look
after the fortresses which have been recently formed
in the steppe " for securing the frontiers and the
great commercial road leading to Central Asia."
General Katenin is Governor-General of Orenburg,
and the successor of Count Ferowsky. For the
furtherance and development of the trade with Asia,
the Siberian, Orenburg, and Astrachan merchants of
the second and third guilds are to nave the same
privileges as those of the first,—that is, they are to
he allowed to do wholesale business. _ _

Le Nord this week publishes the texts of the
commercial treaty lately concluded between France
and Russia. Merchandise of every description
imported into Russia under the French flag will
enjoy the same privileges and pay the same
duties av if imported under the national flag.
Russian vessels will only enjoy the advantages given
to French vessels in their own ports, when they
come direct from a Russian port. It appears doubt-
ful whether by the treaty Frenchmen will have the
right to carry on a retail trade in Russia, although
they may do it wholesale. But the most important
clause in the new treaty is tbat which abolishes the
counterfeiting of manufacturers' marks, and renders
persons so guilty liable to damages.

RELIGION IN INDIA.

" CHRISTIANITY is the salt of the earth." So
at least all the nations of Western Europe
have good reason to say. Almost all that ele-
vates our public and domestic institutions over
those of less favoured countries is attributable
to our knowledge of a direct revelation. The
relations between man and man, between

husband and wife, between governors and
governed, have all felt the healing and human-
ising influence of this benign creed. Honour,
generosity, and charity have been thereby
introduced into the world—words for which
the old heathen nations have no equivalents—
and we learn from the example of its Divine
founder that simplicity and humility are two
of the highest attributes of man.
That we are under direct obligations to pro-
pagate this better faith among nations to
whom it is unknown is what few Englishmen
if pressed home upon the subject would have
the courage to deny; but it is one, unfortu-
nately, which they find it convenient to forget.
It is a troublesome truth which they will not
look straight in the face; and, indeed, have so

poses of Austria. It was by his assistance
and with his connivance that the evacuation
of the Principalities by the Austrian troops
was so long delayed that Austria was enabled
not only to forward her political views and
extend her conninettial interests, but, by
creating establishments and widening her
connections, to get a grasp upon the country
not easily shaken off.
We do not seek to dispute the policy of the
Court of Vienna. With the extrication of the
Danubian provinces from the protectorate of
Russia, it is not remarkable that Austria
should desire, or even anticipate, an exten-
sion of her influence. But the question for
this country to consider is, not what the
Court of Vienna may anticipate, but whether
the conditions of the Treaty of Paris shall be
honourably fulfilled, or whether Lord PAL.•
MERSTON shall be permitted to continue to play
the game of Austrian diplomacy and em-
ploy his influence to promote its realisation?

be " written down," and his heels tripped up
by electioneerers.
If Radicals are to sit in Parliament, we are
glad to have the manliest and the most elo-
quent that can be found ; and, although Mr.
BRIGHT is a political adversary, we cheerfully
admit that his talents do honour to the
Senate, while they cast into shade the servility
of the Lowes and Halls of the Ministerial
benches.

RIGHT OF VOTING FOR IRISH REPRESENTATIVE PEERS.

On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, the following
resolution was agreed to :
That the standing order of the 3rd of Jtily, respecting
the reference to the Lord Chancellor or Lord Keeper of the
Great Seal cf claims of rights of voting at the election of
Representative Peers of Ireland be further considered, in
order to its being amended by extending such standing
order to the case of parties who claim the right of voting
by virtue of peerages under which votes have been given
and adulated at the election for such Representative Peers
o: Ireland.

Some other business was then despatched, after
which their lordships adjourned.

SUPPLY.

The house then went into a committee of supply
upon the remaining civil service estimates.
The resolutions completing the estimates were
ordered to be reported.
The report of the Committee of Supply was brought
up and agreed to.
Several votes were passed, after brief discussion,
belonging to the civil service estimates, among which
was a grant of 50,0001. for the purchase of ground
in Downing-street, preliminary to the erection of the
new public offices. A vote of 200,0001., being the
estimated charge for the militia force which it was
proposed to embody, was then passed.
With a vote of 32,0001. for the Ordnance Survey
in Scotland, the business of supply came to a close
for the present session.
The LORD ADVOCATE moved the second reading
of the Parochial Schoolmasters (Scotland) Bill,
which was agreed to.
The Pimlico Improvements Bill and the Police
(Scotland) Bill were read a third time and passed.
The consideration of the Probates and Letters of
Administration Bill, as amended, was then re-
sumed, and the remaining amendment; were dis-
cussed.
Some further business having been dispose& of
the house adjourned at about twenty-five minutes
before three o'clock.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1857.

THE telegraphic despatch from India has now
arrived, and, as we had anticipated, Delhi has
not fallen. On the contrary, General BAR-
NARD had deemed himself unequal to the
assault, pending the arrival of reinforcements
from the Punjaub, which were on their way to
meet him. These, it may be interesting to
those who are for a wholesale crusade against
all in India who have native blood in them to
know, are under General CORTLANDT, who is not
a German, as the Ministerial papers tell us, but
a native, being the son of an English officer by
native lady. Nor is he a general in the Com-
pany's service, but one of the old generals of
RUNJET SINGII. On the dissolution of the Sikh
State he took service with the British, and is
the real hero of almost all those achievements
for which Major EDWARDES received in 1848 so
much credit. It is amusing to see the people
who would exterminate every native, placing
its best hopes on a native in its hour of peril.
The Punjaub generally is said to be quiet so
far, and the people are described as willing to
be enrolled ontthe side of Government. But
those who know the Punjaubees will attach
little weight to either statement. As to
arming, a Punjaubee is always ready to receive
arms and rupees from any one who will give
him them, even though lie may intend to
turn them against the donor at the first con-
venient moment. And, as to rising, they are
too practical a people to rise for nothing ; they
only rise when they think that resistance will
materially improve their position or benefit
their pockets. The time for testing the loyalty
of the Punjaubees will be the period when
the Government has to call upon them for its
rents and taxes. If they prove loyal then by
not taking advantage of these troubles, we
shall place more faith in their protestations
of zeal for us than we do at present.
As regards the progress of the mutiny, it
appears that the troops at eight more military
stations have
,joined the rebels, one of them
being the station that has hitherto held in
check the powerful Mahratta sovereign of
Indere. Of the Madras army no regiments
appear to have actually revolted, saving the
Cavalry Contingent Corps, of which we heard
by the last mail. But on the rest of the
cavalry there, it seems, no great dependence
can be placed; and we hear of symptoms of
distrust on the part of tha Cominandenin-Chief
at Bombay; for the native guards over his
house and person, and over those of the
Governor, have, on that avowed ground, been
replaced by European troops. We kr ow not
what reason ho has for this display of suspi-
cion towards an army which we should have
hoped to see remain loyal; but the display
has been made, and excited so much com-
ment, that we think it right to notice it. On
all hands, indeed, we observe symptoms of
alarm at the state of things which the
measures of the Government seem calcu-
lated rather to increase than to remove.

With regard to the crisis at Constantinople, the

A letter from Vienna, in the Paris Dibats, says
that Austria will sacrifice her last soldier and her

these points, we may say that the judgment
delivered by Mr. DEASY, the Chairman of the
Cambridge Committee, was extremely able,
and distinguished by judicial acumen.
A second general consideration has again
been pressed forward with respect to the
jurisdiction of the House of Commons.
Radical Reformers still desire that fin ensic
tribunals, and not committees of the llouse of
Commons, should decide the cases of peti-
tions. We trust that day shall never come.
The proposition would be unjust, impolitic,
and unconstitutional. The House of Com-
mons must not part with its powers, for it
would be stultifying itself. It must keep its
traditionary- authority, unless it desires to
register a plea of incapacity. The precedent
would be most dangerous, and it is one which
we trust will never be adopted ; and we think
that the vast improvement manifested in late
years in the working of election committees is
the best argument against the adoption of so
revolutionary and un-English a proposal.
