THE PRE S S, JULY 17, 1858.

tary part. The National Board, too, be it ob-
served, has taken good care to establish in the
proximity of every Church Education school, a
National school. The parent, therefore, can always
choose between them—he need not send his
child to the former unless he likes it; but if he
happens to like it best, and has the courage to
brave the indignation of his priest, are we to be
gravely told that a system of compulsion is es-
tablished, because the child is made to conform
to the discipline of the school to which his
parent, with a full knowledge of the nature of
that discipline, deliberately and advisedly sends
him ?

The truth is that the only improper compul-
sion in the whole transaction is when the Roman
parent is compelled by the threats of the Roman
priest to withdraw his child from a Scriptural
school ; and in seconding this compulsion the
whole weight of the Government and of the
National Board is thrown in—these powers posi-
tively, by their system, backing the priest against
the parent, and being guilty, in the worst
way, of doing the very thing against which they
make the loudest outcry.
We have dwelt so long upon this compubion
objection, that we can only very briefly touch
upon the other. It is this :
" If the demands," it is said, "of the Church
" Education Society are conceded, it will de-
" stroy the National system." We do not think
it will : but if such is the result to be expected,
we can only say that it is hardly possible to con-
ceive an argument which implies so strong a
condemnation of the existing system ; for it affirms
that that system can only be maintained by
acting with gross injustice towards the main
body of the Protestants of Ireland; and a system
which can only be maintained in that way, is a
system which stands self-condemned, and is
surely not worth preserving.

launch forth an overwhelming force which shall
rush at once to the very heart of our kingdom,
and destroy its vitality for ever ; while the
merchants, the manufacturers, and the money-
dealers of our cities arc solemnly told that the
slackness of movement in the emporiums of
trade, and the sluggishness in the demand for
the use of capital, are the result of well-founded
and deeply-seated apprehensions in Paris no less
than in London that the invitation to Cherbourg
which her thick-sighted Ministers have per-
mitted the Queen to accept is but a blind, and
that in reality the fair-seeming Emperor is going
to fall on us tooth and nail with no more preli-
minary than would serve as grace to a boiled
egg. We shall have more in the same strain
anon, no doubt ; and perhaps even while we
write, an article is on the stocks and ready for
launching, suggesting that the practices as well
as the hatreds of the Middle Ages should be
revived, and that the two Sovereigns should only
meet with a strong grating between them.
By men who live in the political world all
this is appreciated at its true value. They know
the source from whence these articles come ; they
are acquainted with the predilections which in-
spire them, and are familiar with the policy
which they are intended to serve, and with the
projects which it is hoped they may advance.
Men with whom politics are a pursuit or a pro-
fession are aware that the Times in these articles
represents, as it has done in the many others of
the same nature which it has been publishing
ever since the of the Emperor, not an
English but a French Party, and that it is think-
ing, not of the interests of the British Empire, or
of Europe, but of the views of a fallen dynasty of
France, whose interests it believes can be ad-
vanced by sowing dissension between the present
Empire of France and the Kingdom of Great
Britain, and by instilling into the mind of every
Englishman a notion that there is no peace, no
progress or security for commerce so long as
NAPOLEON 111. sits on the throne that has been
so long occupied by the House of Bourbon and
the House of Orleans.

The habituated politician knows all this ; he
knows the pretence of these warnings and the
absurdity of these apprehensions ; but the
general public does not. And herein lies the
wickedness of these articles and the mischief
which they may effect if left to do their work
unrefuted and unremarked upon. To the
general public they seem the outpourings of a
well-informed and watchful patriotism, seeing far,
and warning sagaciously and timeously. It is for
this reason that we have felt it our duty to put
whatever portion of the public we may be able
to influence on their guard against them, and to
recommend them to look and judge for themselves.
Anybody who will do this will see that there is
' not the least real ground for all those alarming
London, England, 1858-07-17

the following brief extract, which points to
a general truth of the greatest importance, and
now but too often forgotten

:-

The changes which Dr. Vaughan has introduced into his
narrative to make it more palatable, imply that he thinks
the modern public grown childish, and its taste decidedly
sickly. But though the style which he adopts is sanc-
tioned by the example of many able writers, we n.lst pro-
test against the attempt to allure the lovers of amusement
by turning history into a novel or a legend. It is unsafe
to tamper with truth even in trifles, and it is worse than
useless to conceal the ignorance of facts by the invention
of details. We object to a graphic sketch of the house
in which, after all, it is highly improbable that Wycliffe
should have been born, and of the convents where it is
" pleasing to believe " he was educated. We cannot lend
our belief to fanciful descriptions of the external aspect of
the university when the Reformer entered it, or the interior
of the " hall " where he lectured—of the emotions, the
faces, the attitudes, of the pupils who admired, or the
seniors who condemned his innovating spirit. It is •
natural mistake to impute to the actors in great events the
feelings with which we ourselves look back upon them,
but when Wycliffe first began his lectures as a Professor of
Theology we must not attribute to him a foreknowledge of
the great results be was preparing, nor the confidence of
ultimate triumph, still less the reckless indifference or
morbid discontent with which a modern lecturer proceeds
to undermine the foundations of society.

The essay upon India and the Indian Re-
volt is eloquent and striking. The writer
laments the estrangement, which has gradually
increased since 1793, between the English and
the natives. He repudiates the idea that the
latter can be governed only by force. And he
calls attention to the injudic►ous system of edu-
cation that prevails in the native colleges. Ile
is of opinion that we ought to strive to introduce
the English language, and to practise a fuller
recognition of the Christian religion. He de-
votes several pages to the tenure of land, and
bears an explicit testimony to Lord Ellen-
borough's ability. Such is a brief analysis of
this remarkable paper, which, in common with
the remaining contents, we shall reconsider at
another time.

BENGAL.
PATNA DIVISION.

Sir E. Lngard attacked the Jug lespore rebels on the
4th of June successfully, driving them nut of the jungle,
killing 100 men and capturing two elephants. These
rebels have since gone towards Ghszeeporc.

CENTRAL INDIA.

Gwalior.—The Maharajah of Gwalior is now a fugitive
at Agra. The main body of the Calpee fugitives, with
Tantia Tepee, the Ranee of Jhansi, and the Nawab of
Banda, fled first to Indoorkee, where they were joined by
Kooer IJowlut Siogh and Bahim Ali, with about 1,503
men and a few Bola guns ; the) then decided to march on
Gwalior, which they did rapidly, so as to allow Scindia but
little time for preparation. They reached Gwalior on the
Ist of June ; their numbers are believed to have been
about 5,t)00 infantry and $OO cavalry, with a few small
guns. Scindia went out to the cantonments to oppose
them with 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, and thirty guns.
No sooner, however, had the action commenced than one
of Scindia's cavalry regiments went over en masse to the
enemy ; a large proportion of the rest of his army followed
the example, and the remainder fled precipitately, with
the exception of the Maharajah's body-guard, who fought
most gallantly, and brought oft Scindia safely from the
field, losing, however, 200 of their own number. The
Maharajah, with his I)ewan, Dinker Row, and some thirty
of his sirdars, fled, via Dholpore, to Agra, which he reached
on the 2nd of June. The family of the Maharajah
escaped to Nurwur, hut his palace is plundered, and the
fort is said to be in the hands of the rebels. The bulk of
the Calpee force has marched on Gwalior. Sir Hugh
Rose will direct operations. Brigadier Smith's brigade
will co-operate from Seepree, and a demonstration is to he
made from Agra in the direction of Dholpore. The rebels
are said to have proclaimed the Nana as Peishwa, and
'rantia Topee as chief underhini. The prisoners at Gwalior
had been released.

THE CAPE.

In the evening, in reply to Mr. PEASE,
Sir E. B. Lrrrom stated that the Government had
received no information as to the occupation by the
Cape colonists of the territory between the Keei
and Keiskamma rivers, and that the last advices
iron the Cape afforded no probability of the early
termination of the hostilities between the Orange
Free States and Moshesh, the chief of the Basutus.

The house then resolved itselt into committee
upon this bill. After a short conversation as to
whether it was expedient to confine it to a mere
continuance bill (as suggested by Mr. V. Smith), or
whether proposed by Mr. Walpole ) the bill should
not remedy certain ambiguities and points of legal
nicety,—such as the question regarding travelling
expenses, which, since a recent decision of the House

resolutions were rejected by nine majority ; but
it must not be forgotten that ten Roman Catholic
Peers supported Lord SHAFTESBURY, and it is
most extraordinary that not one Roman Catholic
Peer supported Government. It is more remark-
able that Mr. CARDWELL, the mover of the vote
of censure, should have defended Cardinal Wisik:-
MAN'S aggression ; and the seconder of the vote
of censure in the Lower House was an Irish
Roman Catholic barrister, who had last year
been chosen by the whole Roman Catholic body
for the purpose of inducing the Legislature to
alter the terms of the Roman Catholic oath.
The part which the Papal party has played in
this contest is eminently characteristic of their
system of tactics.
As for the votes of the Bishops—but on that
subject remarks will be found elswhere ; but the
political conclusion to be drawn from the fore-
going facts is that it is for the interest of freedom
and the Constitution that a check should be
placed to the ascendancy of Liberalism.

sion of approbation and confidence shown to him, and

sented to-day.

THE BREAK-DOWN.

THERE never was, we believe, so lamentable a
failure as this of Mr. CARDWELL'S. For ten
days past, prodigious has been the exultation of

at the sure and signal defeat,

the total and final expulsion, of the Administra-
tion of Lord DERBY.

At the opening of the attack all their journals
were certain of a majority of from 120 to 150.
The resignation of Lord ELLENIIOIIOCGII rather
damped their exultation, and they admitted that
now the majority might be no greater than 80.
Their defeat in the Lords still further quieted
them, and a majority of 50 or 60 was now their
calculation. But to this they adhered to the last.
So recently as Thursday evening, six-and-thirty
hours ago, the Globe wrote in this confident
strain :

" Some of our provincial contemporaries have
been misled by the transparent tricks of the
journals engaged to serve Ministers, and they
talk of election movement as if a dissolution
were imminent. No people are more convinced
of the improbability of a dissolution than the
Ministerial whips, because none have better rea-
son to know that the majority against them on Mr.
CARDWELL'S resolution will be of a character to
prevent so undesirable an event."
This was based on Lord PALMF:RSTON'S advice
to the Liberals at Cambridge-house :—" Make
" the majority against the Government .co large
" as to put a Dissolution out of the question."
Meanwhile, however, as the discussion went
on, the strength of the Cambridge-house con-
federates melted away. Their newspapers kept
up the delusion to the last; but all well-in-
formed persons knew that the Government
was gaining strength day by day and hour by
hour. On Monday last it was ascertained that
a majority was safe for the Government, though
perhaps only of five or ten votes. On Wednes-
day it had risen to twenty-five. On Thursday
it wag still higher; but on Friday the Palmers-
tonians ran in all directions like sheep. We
heard one of them declare that although he
himself was pledged to vote for Mr. CARDWELL'S
motion, he knew of a dozen men who had
changed their minds since nine o'clock that
morning ! We feel assured that had a division
taken place, the majority for the Government
would have exceeded 100. Ministers were sure
of 310 votes on Wednesday ; but they would
have had 350 last night, while the Palmers-
tanians would have scarcely amounted to 250. It
WWI a consciousness of this rapid scattering of
his forces which induced the originator of the
whole movement--the man who had himself put
forward Mr. CARDWMLL-110W to beat a retreat,
and to recommend his trusty friend to withdraw
his motion.

This defeat, for the ambitious Viscount, is a
fearful one. But for the Conservative cause it is
almost too signal and too rapid. We know that
the most experienced men in the Government

allowing for deductions and for the expenses of liti-

be against the public. _ _

Mr. HENLEY, in reply to Mr. Bright, observed that
there were anomalies on both sides, and that, if the
question were looked into, it would be found that
land did not pay labs than its proper share.
Mr. L. KING supported the motion.

Sir J. GRAHAM was not satisfied with the result

some error. He could not understand, he said, how

TURKEY AND MONTENEGRO.
The following telegram has been received
VIENNA, Saturday Evening, May 15.
At dawn on the 13th inst. the Montenegrins captured a
transport of provisions which was on its way to the Turkish
corps before Grahovo.
At a later hoar in the day they attacked and completely
routed the Turkish forces. The latter are said to hare
been almost annihilated.

The Moniteur publishes the following :

Despite the exertions of the powers at Constantinople
to prevent a collision between the Turkish troops and the
Montenegrins, the Turks commenced hostilities on the
11th in the valley of Grahovo. Atter a severe engagement,
in which the Montenegrins lost fifty killed and 1..!0
wounded, the Turks occupied Grahovo, which is reported
to have been burnt down The Turks were about 7,000
strong, the Montenegrins 5,000.

The Paris papers of Sunday all publish a tele-
graphic despatch confirmin,, the despatch of a
Vienna correspondent, to the effect that the Turks
have been completely routed near Grahovo, their
leader, Kadei Pasha, killed, and all their guns cap-
tured.

As regards the Turkish general killed, another
despatch says it was Kiamil Pasha.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
THE CANNING PROCLAMATIO:

In reply to Mr. GLA.DSTONE,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that the
first intimation received by the Cabinet touching any
proposed explanation by Lord Canning of his Oude
proclamation, was given a few days since by the
Marquis cf Lansdowne in " another place."

On the motion that the house on rising should
adjourn to Friday next,

Mr. CLAY appealed to the right hon. member for
Oxford on the subject of his resolution. On its
first introduction that motion had, as be believed,
involved a question designed to vindicate the rights
and dignity of the Legislature. But the issue had
been much changed by the resignation of Lord
Ellenborough, and still further altered by the publi-
cation of the despatches just received from India.
Althongli he believed that Lord Canning had been
proved to be perfectly in the right, he could not
c3ncur in a resolution which had now degenerated
into a mere party movement, and, in common with
the great mass of the independent Liberals, he
trusted that it would be withdrawn.

Mr. BOWYER enforced a similar appeal.
Sir DE LACY EVANS gave notice that, soon after the
recess, be should bring forward a resolution declar-
ing that the proclamation confiscating the landed
property in Oude was nether equitable nor expe-
dient, and ought not to be carried in'.o effect.
Mr. CARDWELL declined to accept the suggestion
fur withdrawing his motion.

purpose of letting the Government and Mr.
DANBY SEYMOUR himself down a little easier
than the Resolution would have done in its
original form. We believe the true conclusion,
then, to be plain, and we infer that it is also that
to which the Committee came, and that which
they wish indirectly to convey to the public. The
late Government, either from recklessness or
from incapacity, or from a mischievous cunning,
would not look the state of India in the face, and
in spite of the urgent representations of the
Court of Directors, persisted in refusing to recog-
nize the gravity of the events which took place at
Barrackpore, Meerut, and elsewhere. A foolish
idea of concealing from the public the amount
of mismanagement and maladministration made
them shrink from grappling at once with
the difficulty, and they refrained from the
prompt application of strong remedies from fear
their exhibition should reveal the extent of the
disease. Like Sir Anthony Absolute in the
comedy, in the midst of his patents and devices
of all kinds, with the house on fire, they fell
back on the silly hope that perhaps the fire
might go out of itself. Alas ! the soil of India
covers the bodies of thousands of gallant men
and heroic women who have fallen victims to that
unhappy delusion, and to the vacillation of the
Minister of the Crown who has sought shelter
under those " political considerations" which
have so puzzled and impeded Sir DE LACY
EVANS'S Committee.

INSURANCE AND ASSURANCE INSTITUTIONS BILL.

Mr. SHERIDAN moved the second reading of this
bill. He replied to the objections which he antici-
pated from the Government, and entered in much
detail into the objects and provisions of the bill.
In conclusion, he said, if the Government would
allow a measure of this kind to be introduced next
session, he should not persevere in his motion.
Mr. S. ESTCOURT, on the part of the Government,
could not give a pledge to endorse such a bill as the
present. A bill, prepared in draught by Mr. Wilson,
had been left by the late Government, upon which
another bill had been framed by the present, and,
although it had been deemed unwise to introduce it
this session without a prospect of its passing, it was
intended to bring in a measure upon the subject next
year. He moved to defer the second reading for six
months.
After a short discussion, this amendment was
agreed to, without a division ; so the bill is lost.
The house then went into committee upon the
Reformatory Schools (Ireland) Bill, the details of
which occupied the remainder of the time to which
discussion was limited.
The other orders having been disposed of, the
house adjourned at a few minutes before six o'clock.

HOUSE OF LORDS—TitritsnAy.
Lord CAMPBELL, in presenting a petition against
the bill for legalizing marriage with a deceased wife's
sister, stated that he was thoroughly opposed to the
object of the bill. He believed it to be inconsistent
with the doctrines of religion, and calculated to pro-
duce great social evil ; and now, by exempting
Ireland and Scotland from the operation of the act,
he thought the bill was presented in a more
objectionable form than before.
Lord REDEBDALE asked who had charge of the
bill, and when the second reading was to be taken.
Unless some peer had charge of the bill be thought
it ought to be discharged from the orders.
The question was not answered.
The Sale of Poisons Bill was read a third time and
passed.
Tho Oaths Bill passed through committee, with
some verbal amendments and the addition of a
clause, moved by the Duke of Merturtoaouctst, prevent-
ing Jews from advising the Crown in the distri-
bution of ecclesiastical patronage.
The County Courts District Bill was read a third•
time and rmised.
The Universities of Scotland Bill was read a first
time.
Their lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—THURSDAY.
At the moaning sitting the house was engaged in
committee in considering the details of the Local
Government Bill.

make another effort to secure one of the seats for

appeared iron) the hon. baronet, in which, addressing
his " brother electors," be observes :
Defeated by the neutrality of some and the lukewarm•

exercised by our opponents, the comparatively small
majonty by which they obtained their success lessens the
regret which attaches to the result.

TUESDAY.

A morning of hard work. Between twelve
and lour got through, in committee, the Medical
Practitioners Bill. At night the Opposition

tried their last falls with the Ministry upon the
Indian Government Bill. Two divisions on new
clauses furnished very significant tests of the
relative strength of parties. In one Lord PAL-
MERSTON stood alone, with none but his personal
following about him, and mustered, including
tellers, just 47 votes against a Ministerial 151.
On a second trial, the ex-Premier obtained the
co-operation of the Manchester school, headed
by Mr. Baicnrr. The allied forces numbered
117, Lord STANLEY having 153. The latter
division was taken upon an amendment providing
that the salaries, appointments, &c., of the
Council should be renewed at the end of five
years. Mr. BniGirr liked the plan because it
compelled Parliament to revise a system whose
possible evils, he seemed to think, the Legislature
might otherwise have unrectified. It is odd, that
the party who hold for their chief political
dogma that the House of Commons is the very
" breath in the nostrils" of the Constitution
should invariably act as if they believed that the
said House would never do its duty unless pre-
viously forced and pledged to its performance.
Lord &ix RUSSSELL obtained a more respectable
array of votes in support of his proposition to
extinguish the powers heretofore exercised by the
Secret Committee, and henceforth intrusted to
the Secretary of State. The very epithet of
" secret" sufficed to determine a good many
votes, Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S among the number.
There were 150 members willing to follow the
Noble Member for the City into the lobby ;
Government, neverthelesss, in a fuller house,
gathered 177 supporters to defeat a proposition
which, without ever doing any visible good,
might have sadly shackled the energies of the
Indian Minister at moments of emergency. The
solitary change in the measure not introduced
by Lord STANLEY himself, was effected on the
motion of Mr. GLADSTONE, who proposed a
prohibitory clause, enacting that the Indian
army should never be employed out of India
except under express Parliamentary sanction.
With Burman invasions and Persian wars in full
remembrance, the House readily embraced the
proposal, to which, of course, the Government
lent their cordial concurrence.

THE PR

THE ROHILLAS.

The enemy's horse were rather more steady than I ez•
petted under this iron shower, and seemed determined as
the day advanced to get down to the ford upon our left.
Here, however, our field•battery met them. and opened
with shot and shell, while a party of the 60th advanced
along the front in open skirmishing order towards the
river, and drove hack the enemy on the other aide till they
were beyond title range. The latter were now sent down
upon their right, which took post near a small ♦illage and
opened tire upon 'is, but after ten or twelve rounds they
retired or ceased firing. Notwithstanding my crippled leg,
I managed to get on horseback, and, sitting lady fashion,
got to the Rifle picket, from which I had a good view of
the enemy and ourselves. Fortunately for our men the
day was uncommonly cool, and the sun was veiled by white
fleecy clouds which had been left in the sky by the departed
thunder-storm. It was not my fist sight of the Rohilla
horsemen, but I confess 1 watched with great interest the
aspect of these wild cavaliers, and I could have almost ad
mired their aspect as, like leaves careering in the autumn
breeze, they whirled in light eddies along our front, if T
had not known that among them were the cruel assassins
of the 12th Cavalry, and the troopers of other corps equally
false, cruel, and murderous; Litt for the moat part they
seemed very well mounted. The Rohillas are a nation of
hot semen ; the native stock of the country is crossed with
Arabs and with stud-bred horses, and some of the chargers
on the field seemed models of symmetry. Although the
great bulk of the cavalry wheeled round and round, as if
to avoil the shot which ploughed up long lanes along the
ridge in our front and searched out the mango topes,
small bodies from time to time retie down towards us,
almost within musket range, as it to examine our position.
In their last attack upon our position the other day, a
small body of them rode right up to our guns. De Kant-
zow sought to lead his men against them, but he was not
well supported. He rode forward, however, almost alone,
and encountered the leader of the enemy ; hie pistol
missed, and he instantly received two severe outs, one

across the face and another which severed the flesh from
his elbow to his wrist. The Robilla rode forward, struck
the gun with his sword over the muzzle, as if claiming
it for his own, and was shot dead there, as he stood,
calling on his followers to come on. With some-
what similar spirit a few of the enemy to-day con-
gregated round a tree, which again and again was
covered with dust from the shot of our 18-pounders.
But they held their own with persistency. It is
said, indeed, that the Moulvie and Feroze Shah, both
of whom were in the field to-day, are gallant and desperate
men, and that our task would not be so easy if their fol-
lowers partook of their spirit. The Moulvie is described
as a tall, lean, and muscular man, with lantern jaws, long
thin lips, high aquiline nose, deep-set large dark eyes,
beetle brows, long beard, and coarse black hair falling in
masses over his shoulders. Ferozu Shah is said to be a
handsome, but sinister-looking man, of a flue person, and
is reputed to be a most admirable horseman. The old
Khan Bahadoor Khan was present at the first, and some
of the natives say that the Begum herself was a spectator
of the day's proceedings. It is probable enough that the
enemy were merely acting on the defensive. However,
when these demonstrations on our left were encountered

by the fire of our heavy artillery and field battery, they
directed their attention to the right. They opened their
guns from several topes, and caused some casualties among
Tombs's artillery. One of their shots very nearly deprived
us of our commander-in-chief. Sir Cohn is a very cool
and cautious leader; he is chary of the lives of his men
almost to a fault ; but amid the noise of the captains and
ti.e shootings he is careless to a fault of his own life. I
would not wish to do so gallant and so brave a soldier an
injustice, but it is felt by those about him that on the
day of battle the commander-in-chief does not sufficiently
appreciate the value of his own existence. At Bareilly he
was almost among a crowd of fanatics who swept through
the ranks of the 4/nd. A sabre cut might have destroyed
for ever the delicate web of combinations the key of which
is in his possession alone. To-day a round shot passed so
close to him and the chief of the staff, striking the earth
at their feet, that those of the staff who were near thought
an escape scarcely possible. Had Sir Colin Campbell
wished to make an offensive movement, no doubt he should
have compelled the enemy to retire precipitately, but it
was late in the afternoon when the affair commenced, and
even if our men had been in a condition to pursue, night-
fall would have checked them.

Our men are suffering very severely from the heat,
and the deaths of Captain Forster, Aide-de-Camp to
Sir Colin Campbell, and acting as Assistant Prize
Agent, from smallpox; and of Major Price, of the
Bays, and of Mr. Munroe, brother of the surgeon of
the 03rd, are also reported.
