A TEMPITSG OFFER.

It appears that agents are in Paris beating up
for female recruits for our Australian colonies. Large
premiums and promises of husbands are offered to
obtain young damsels, and the agents have succeeded
in inducing about 100 to accept the terms. They must
be under thirty years of age.

BELGIUM.

OPENING OP THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.

On Tuesday afternoon the Belgian legislative
session of 1858.59 was opened at Brussels by the
King in person. His Majesty, the Duke of Brabant,
and the Count of Flanders rode to the Assembly on
horseback, and were received with much enthusiasm.
The speech, which was delivered by the King from
the throne, congratulates the Assembly upon the
state of the internal and external affairs of the
country, and notices the approaching introduction of
certain measures by the Government. Among the
latter is a law securing a more efficacious copyright
in literary and artistic works ; a vote towards estab
lishing additional primary schools in various com•
manes ; a bill relative to the administration of public
charities, and various projects tending to favour the
expansion of home commerce and the relief of local
industry. The last census has shown an increase in
the population of the country, of which one of the
consequences will be an addition to the number
of
members in the Legislative Assembly. The state of
the national treasury is satisfactory ; and the ordi-
nary receipts show a balance over expenditttre,
has been applied to the reduction of the floating
debt. The speech concluded with an expression of
his Majesty's confidence in the patriotism of die
Assembly, and his full expectation that, by Its loyal
and active support, it will enable the Government to
effectually promote the national welfare. wh!ch

HER MAJESTY, the Prince Consort, the Prince of
Wales, and the junior branches of the Royal Family
are at Windsor.

HER MAJESTY will bold a Privy Council to-day,
at Windsor Castle, at which Parliament will be further
prorogued.
THE Paptcz or Wxus attained his 17th year on
Tuesday, and has been gazetted a colonel in: the
army.
PRINCE ALFRED arrived at Cornnna on the 2nd, at
eleven a.m , on board the Spanish steamer Santa
Teresa, which had been sent by the captain•general
of the department. The prince was received on
landing with the salutes and honours bestowed on
an infanta of Spain. He visited the spot where the
battle of Elvina was fought, and also the tomb cf
General Moore. He afterwards partook of a collation
at the captain-general's. At half•past four the prince
returned to Ferrol on board the Santa Teresa.
THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE AID THE PRINCESS
MARY returned to their residence at Kew on Wed-
nesday from visiting her Majesty and the Prince
Consort at Windsor Castle.
THE Drum OF CAMBRIDGE returned to town on
Wednesday from Windsor Castle.
THE SONS OF QUEEN VICTORIA, observes the
are treading exactly in the footsteps of the sons of
George ITT. The Prince of Wales commanded a
regiment of Hussars, the Duke of York took the chief
administration of the army, and the Duke of Clarence
became Lord High Admiral after actual service at
sea. Her Majesty's own father was not only a
soldier, but, as a general, commanded on foreign
stations, and, in an earlier generation, a Dale of
Cumberland was considered, with some reason, to be
a meritorious general, th3ugh he was often an
unsuccessful one. The reader will not be likely in
any consideration of this subject to forget the
remarkable celebrity acquired in a neighbouring
State by the Prince de Joinville ; indeed, King Louis
Philippe engrafted his children not only upon the
two services, but their various arms, and selected

an inspection of the Ist Battalion of the Coldstream
Guards on Saturday morning, in Hyde-park, when
the battalion went through a new drill of field evolu-
tions, contemplated to be introduced into the army,
and which they have been engaged in practising
during the last six weeks.
OUR MILITARY FORCE AT HOME as thus repre-
sented :—ln the United Kingdom, at the present
moment, there are sixteen regiments of caialry,
averaging 350 effective sabres each, which with the
addition that could be made from the Indian Cavalry
depots of Canterbury and Maidstone, would give
fully 6,000 of this arm of the service. Of infantry, we
have at home twenty-nine battalions of the regular
forces, numbering about 22,000 men, which, added
to the different regimental depots, would give us a
force of about 35,000 men. Then we have thirty•one
regiments of embodied militia, of which twenty-eight
are infantry, and setting them down at the moderate
computation of 400 each, they would make up 11,200
more, making the total force of effective infantry now
in existence about 40,000 men. We presume our
tour divisions of Royal Marines serving on shore
may be considered equal to 6,000 men. Our respect-
able force of Royal Artillery will immediately receive
an augmentation in the shape of some twenty regi-
ments of Artillery Militia, which are to be at once
embodied and trained in the use of the guns which
are now thickly distributed all around the coast.
Roughly computing, therefore, we come to the con-
clusion that, in a few weeks, we shall thus have a
land force of 70,000 men.—Globe.

the national peculiarity, or rather tendency, that
England is so much indebted for the honours she
has won on the tented field. Christopher North
speaking, in bis "Recreations," of hunting, says—
" The hills and dales of merry England have been
the best riding school to her gentlemen—her gentle-
men who have not lived at home at ease, but with
Paget, and Stewart, and Seymour, and Cotton, and
Somerset, and Vivian, have left their hereditary
halls, and all the peaceful pastimes pursued among
the sylvan scenery, to try the mettle of their steeds,
and cross swords with the vaunted Gallio chivalry ;
and still have they been in the shock victorious—
witness the skirmish that astonished Napoleon at
Saldanlia, the overthrow that uncrowned him at
Waterloo."

THE DEAN OF ELY, the Very Rev. Dr. Peacock,
died on Monday, after a long and serious illness. Dr.
Peacock was long a distinguished member of the
University of Cambridge ; he was of Trinity College,
and was second wrangler in 1813, when Sir John
Herschel was senior wrangler, and the names of
Fallows, Romilly, Amus, and Mill, followed him.
He was the author of a treatise on algebra, and
other mathematical works. Since his residence in
Ely he has taken a most active part not only in the
restoration and beautifying of the cathedral, but also
in the improvement of the town. The deanery is in
the gift of the Crown, and is the first important
piece of clerical preferment which the Earl of Derby
has been called upon to bestow.

DR. Grevaxn died at Folkestone, on Saturday. The
deceased, Stanley Lees Giffard, Esq., LL.D., of
Trinity College, Dublin, and of the Middle Temple,
was a barrister, but was much batter known to
statesmen, men of letters, and the public, as having
exercised for considerably more than a quarter of a
century the office of editor of the Standard, and
having discharged that office with an amount of
ability, learning, power, and fearlessness, which gave
his daily writings an important influence on the
public opinion of the country, and rendered them a
great support to evangelical religion in the Church
of England, the general advancement of Protestant
truth, and the dissemination of Conservative opinions.
Dr. Giffard was born in Dublin on the 4th of August,
1788, and died in his 71st year, of cancer.
MR. EDWARD DRAKE BROCKMAN, late M.P. for
Hythe, died at Beachborough, at about ten o'clock in
the evening on the sth inst. The deceased gentle-
man had recently met with a serious accident, pre,
ducing concussion of the brain, from which he never
recovered.

LADY FRANCES JULIA MAYNARD, wife of Colonel
the Hon. Charles Henry Maynard, only son of
Viscount Maynard, Lord-Lieutenant of the county of
Essex, died at Shern Hall,Walthamstow, on the 4th
inst., the anniversary of her birthday. Lady Frances
was born on the fourth of November, 1821, and was
the youngest child of James, Baron Glenlyon, by
Lady Emily Percy, fifth daughter of Hugh, second
Duke of Northumberland, and was youngest sisterof
the present Duke of Atholl.
MR. THO3IAS WM. BOOKER BLAKEMORE, of the Ley's
Herefordshire, and of Valinara, Glarnorganshire'
M.P. for the county of Hereford, died suddenly or
apoplexy on Sunday in the 57th year of his age'
The deceased gentleman was the son of the late Rev'
L. Booker, LL.D., and assumed, by royal license, the
name of Blakemore, in accordance with the will of
his uncle, R. Blakemore, Esq., in 1855. He took an
active part on the protectionist side in the free-trade
controversy, and was a consistent member of the
Conservative party. He was first returned for
Herefordshire in September, 1850, without opposition.
He was also author of a " Treatise on the Mineral
Basin of South Wales ;" also a " Letter to the People
on the Revenues of the Church."

THE COMET AGAIN.

A correspondent says—On the 28th ult. we were
startled by the appearance of a magnificent comet,
which came on us unexpectedly and all at once.
Thick clouds had obscured the firmament for some
days before. It has been increasing in size ever
since. It is the same as that observed by Donati in
June. It blazed out on the 28th of September
exactly as Mr. Hinds had predicted. It now sets
about 7.20, or about 1.40 after the sun, an hour after
it has been completely dark. Its tail is at present
about 17 deg. in length, stretching away with a
graceful bend to the north-east, at an angle of about
15 with the horizon.

SOUTH AMERICA.

The Buenos Ayres and Rio Janeiro papers contain
information relative to the affairs of Paraguay. The
intended demonstration of the United States Govern-
ment against President Lopez, attracted much atten-
tion in Buenos Ayres, but hopes were entertained that
the peace of the republic would be preserved, not-
withstanding its heavy money demands.
INDIA.
THE BOMBAY MAIL.

We have advices from Bombay down to the 9th
of October. The following is a summary of the
intelligence :
_____

OUDE.

General Sir Hope Grant continues in the neigh-
bourhood of Sultanpore, detachments being occa-
sionally sent out to cut off such of the rebels as
chance to appear in the neighbourhood. The
district of Fyzabad is in a great measure tranquillized.
There are still large masses of the enemy flitting
about, but taking the greatest care to keep out of our
way. The collection of the revenue has, all things
considered, been wonderfully successful. Most of
the village assessments still exist, and the people
pay without grumbling or apparent difficulty. The
well-behaved landholders are being restored to their
estates, and the disloyal thus seeing their hopes at
an end begin now for the first time fully to compre-
hend the very disastrous nature of the game they
have been playing. Turning to the frontiers of Oude,
we find on the 10th that Brigadier Douglas, in com•
mand of the Arrab field force, encountered the rebels
from Jugdespore, where there were said to be 15,000
at a place called Chandeea, and defeated them,
destroying about a hundred, our casualties being
nominal. A column which left Allahabad on the
22nd overtook and defeated the enemy the following
day, destroying 500 of them.

THREE GUINEAS AND A HALF !-
1 At a time when the prices of Uumanufactured Silks is so
high, end is also advancing, it will seem almost incredible that a
RICH FRENCH SILK DRESS may be had for Three Guineas
sad a Half ! It must, however, be admitted that this advantage
is a very exclusive one. Messrs. Jay had the good fortune to
make large purchases at Lyons during the late monetary crisis,
sod the Rich Silk Dresses at the prices Lamed above do not
average more than half that which is usuaUy charged for
articles of a similar quality and design.

given in the Bill as it now stands, the whole
nine, without any proviso, might be left to the
free•choice of 831 who possessed any kind of
stook in East Indian undertakings, whether
the Company's stock, or railway or other
stock, of a kindred kind. If we look forward
to the great work now before us in the im-
provement of India, we may safely calculate
that before the year 1605 arrives, the East
India proprietors of all clams would exceed
10,000 in number. And surely there could be
little risk in leaving the choice of one-half of
the Council in the hands of such a body ;
taken, as it would be, from the middle and
higher classes of the people of the United
Kingdom.

The telegrams to the Foreign-office add that "the
attack on the city was to commence on the 10th of
March," and that " the ladies, who are with the
Queen, are all safe, and have been kindly treated "

The above telegrams in anticipation of the Bombay
mail contain important intelligence. Sir Cohn
Campbell, who reached the Alumbagh on the Ist of
March and the next day seized the Dilkoosha
Palace within a mile of Lucknow, on the sth was at
Beedeecoll. Sir James Outram, with 6,000 men, was
despatched on the 6th across the frontier, and, after
repulsing a desperate attack of the rebels, took up
the position assigned to him. General Franks, with
4,000 men, had joined headquarters, and the
investment of Lucknow was be►ng rapidly completed.
The rebels had strongly fortified their line of camp,
but it was doubtful whether they would fight. "It is
the universal opinion of the Calcutta officials,"
writes a correspondent, "that the rebels will not
light "

THE NEW INDIA. BILL.

Tuts measure has furnished an ample field
for hostile criticism during the past week.
Open enemies, concealed enemies, and
" candid friends" have all borne their part;
and the result has been, that a plan which un-
questionably struck many Liberals at first
sight (such as Mr. Villas and Mr. SLANEY in
Parliament and the Daily News in the press)
as being " a great improvement on Lord PAL-
NERSTON'S Bill," has latterly lost ground,"tind,
under the pressure of many hostile tongues,
London, England, 1858-04-03

.
to decide.

Rumour is just now busy with the newer
that Lord PALM ERSTON actually means to push)
forward his own Bill, hoping to defeat thel
Government on this question. But, the maim
point of controversy being the composition of ,
the Council, can the late Premier bring for- t
ward one man of influence and impartiality,
who will aver that he approves of Lord PAL-
MIRSTON'S council of eight, and thinks it prefer-
able to the plan of the present Ministry?
Why, amongst the whole press of London,
Lord PALMERSTON has not had a more faithful
adherent than the Morning Post, and the
Morning Post itself declares that a council of
eight would be too weak, and that fifteen would
be a better number.

There are two points on which we should
gladly take the decision of the House of Com-
mons, could it be assembled, on Monday next,
without a single hour's debate; to wit :-
1. Is not a council of eighteen preferable to
a council of eight?
2. Is it not desirable to have some infusion
of the representative principle?
On the first point, we feel that no argument
is needed. For the transaction of business,
in committees and sub-committees, eight men
would be quite too few. And, in moral power,
acting as some check on the otherwise des-
potic President, eight men, nominated practi-
cally by himself, would be evidently too
weak.
On the second question, it is to be remem-

THE MAIN DRAINAGE SCHEME.

Tan President of the Board of Works on Tuesday
received a deputation front the metropolitan vestries
and district boards, upon the subject of the main
drainage question. The object of the deputation
was to request his lordship to defer giving assent to
any plan for the main drainage and sewage intercep-
tion of the metropolis until full and open inquiry
shall have been made—first, into the sanitary neces-
sity of the undertaking; secondly, its adequateness
to accomplish the object proposed ; thirdly, the suffi-
ciency of the estimates for the whole amount of the
work, so that the ratepayers may be acquainted with
the total liabilities with which they will thereby be
encumbered ; and fourthly, the mode in which it is
proposed to raise and pay off the enormous sums
that would be necessary.
Mr. Ayrton, M.P., introduced the deputation ; Mr.
Wade read a memorial, and after Mr. Young, Gene-
ral Codrington, M.P., Mr. Roupell, M.P., and other
gentlemen, had spoken in support of the memorial,
Lord Jose Mammas, in reply, remarked that the
deputation would not, of course, expeet him to give
them an answer one way or the other upon a ques-
tion involving so many interests at that moment. It
would naturally be his duty, before giving his assent
or otherwise to any scheme laid before him, to obtain
all the information he possibly could bearing on the
question ; and with regard to the observations of the
last speaker, he must observe that the veto lodged
in the hands of the Chief Commissioner of Works
ought not to be exercised without due consideration
of all plans submitted to him ; and in his decision
no caprice should be allowed to interfere or I.:a
weight. He could assure them that he would endea-
vour to inform himself of the merits of all plans
brought befcre him, and which would have his best
attention. As to the necessity of further inquiry, he
might say that be bad already given his consent to a
proposal for a select committee to inquire into the
schemes of Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney and Mr. Walker,
and be hoped soon after Easter the committee would
be appointed. Regarding the suggestion in the me-
morial that the country should be called upon to pay
a portion of the expenses for the metropolitan drain-
age, be was afraid that was a proposal that would
meet with but very little countenance in the House
of Commons, and he hardly thought the hon. mem-
bers present would be found in the ranks of its sup-
porters In conclusion, he assured the deputation
that the whole subject should receive the fullest son-
sideration at his hands.
