PUBLIC OPINION UPON INDIA.

IT is encouraging to see that the public opinion of
England has a tendency in the main to correctly esti-
mate the real nature of the straggle in which we
are now engaged in India. The opinions originally
put forward last month by the right Hon. Member
for Bucks, and which at the time incontestably showed
that he had then arrived at a just and lofty sense of
the crisis, are gradually gaining ground in the
country. The revolt of the Bengal army is admitted
to be something more serious than the " mere mili-
tary mutiny," or" sudden and mysterious impulse of die-
affection and superstition," which could and would be
suppressed with ease. All the efforts of the
Ministerial journals to tranquillise the public mind,
in order to shield the Ministers from responsibility,
fail in effect, for it is universally acknowledged that
the rebellion was long organising, that the warn-
ings the Government had and neglected were distinct
and threatening, and that gross ignorance, perverse
neglect, and general misgovernment have plunged
our countrymen and women in India into this despe-

THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IN INDIA.

Mr. DISRAELI wished to know whether the Presi-
dent of the Board of Control would be prepared to
lay upon the table the act recently passed by the
Legislative Council of India (No. 15 of theyear 1857)
restraining the liberty of the press in the dominions
of the East India Company.
Mr. V. Small : There is not the least objection to
lay it upon the table. The right hon. gentleman is
aware that it was only passed for one year.
Mr. Disnam.l would be glad to have two other
documents—one a copy of the despatch of the
Governor-General explaining the reasons why the
act for restraining the liberty of the press was ex-
tended to the loyal European portion of the inhabi-
tants of India as well as to the natives, and also a
copy of the memorial and remonstrance addressed to
the Governor-General by the European population.
If the right hon. gentleman did not object to the
production of these documents he would put a
notice upon the paper and move for them to-morrow
as unopposed returns.
Mr. V. Smart had no objection to lay upon the
table a copy of the despatch of the Governor-General.
He was not quite certain as to the memorial, but he
would see whether it could be also produced.

Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. Kinnaird, stated
that it was intended to prohibit in future any priest
or other minister of religion from being elected a
member (,f the Legislative Council of Malta.

DIVORCE BILL.

The house returned into committee upon the
Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill.
The 31st clause empowers the court, where the
adultery has been established, on the petition of
the husband, to impose a fine upon the adulterer, he
having been made a corespondent, and to order him
to pay the costs.
Mr. PULLER proposed to amend this clause by
empowering the court to punish the respondent and
correspondent by fine, or imprisonment, or both, as if
convicted of a misdemeanour.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to making adul-
tery a criminal offence.
After a long discussion the clause was agreed to,
with the omission of the words authorising the im-
position of a fine upon the adulterer, which the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL proposed to make the subject of
another clause.

on the occasion, pointed out the large share of its
a.tention which Indian affairs would occupy next
session, the necessity of apportioning our public
penditure to our public resources, and, finally, the
promised Reform Bill, which, he said, would not be
like the last—a conflict for power on the part of the
commercial and middle class—but a question of the
scientific applicat;on of political principles to the
enlarged requirements of the people. Mr. Cardwell
concluded by declaring his principles to be those of a

OUR LIBRARY TABLE.

THE story called " Quinland " (11 has one
recommendation,—that it fully bears out the
title. In it we are presented with the widest
conceivable " varieties of American life." The
opening chapters portray life in a clearing;
others, life in an ordinary American village ;
others, again, the fashionable and dissipated
life of large towns. We have farmers, store-
keepers, and gentlemen—physicians, lawyers,
and alchemists—hunters, horsestealers, and
usurers—roguish misers in council with keen
attorneys, and ambitious senators bribing un-
scrupulous journalists. The form into which
the story is thrown is that of a diary, and the
hero is a young man who works his way to
knowledge through all the evils of poverty and
prejudices of kindred, and ultimately succeeds
to wealth by the discovery of a fraud practised
on his mother's family. The author's sketches
of character, though frequently exaggerated,
display nevertheless considerable judgment
and observation. His principal defects con
list in want of method, and a tendency to

one holding an important official post, the
speech of Sir W. WILLIAMS was a strange
confession," or " revelation," or " slip of the
tongue," or what you will.
Another officer, equally gallant as the Mem-
ber for Caine, and more experienced in Par-
liament, Sir DE LACY EVANS, had previously
made some remarks on the propriety of send-
ing out the screw steamships. In the course
of the debate the Prime Minister adverted to
this remark, and delivered one of his most
characte►istic addresses. It was a speech
" worthy of his experience," says the Times ;
and so it was, but it was worthy of nothing
else. It showed no originality, no inventive
mind, and it committed the Cabinet even in a
worse fashion than the crude confession of Sir
W. WILLIAMS.

The blot was hit at 011113 by Mr. DISRAELI.
The Right Hon. Member tor Bucks applied him-
self with masterly skill to the two speeches of
the Gallant Member for Caine and the Premier.
He used the admission of Sir W. WILLIAMS as
additional evidence that the Indian authorities
had decidedly been " caught napping," and be
then discussed the statement of the Premier,
which had been an ingenious modification of
the rough-and-ready assertion of Sir W. F.
WILLIAMS, that the Cabinet had been obliged
to yield to "the pressure from without." The
Premier hatl said that, in " times of peace, a
" Representative Government was compara-
" tively weak." Now it so happens that we
were at peace from 1815 to 1853, and long after
the Reform Bill the military expenditure had
been rising for a considerable series of years.
If the Government in the present year thought
that the country was pressing on them too
strongly for reduction, it was their duty to
have warned Parliament, and even tendered a

resignation.
The true facts on this grave point, stripped
of all exaggeration, are simply these. Parlia-
ment, during the Russian war, had faithfully
supplied the Crown with all that was asked
from its loyalty. But after the war there was
a general feeling that Lord PALMERSTON was
nothing but a " War Minister," and large
classes out of doors feared to trust him.
"Oh ?" cried the Premier and his friends,
" we'll show you that Palmerston is a Peace
" ?Minister;" and accordingly down went the
estimates, and not a word was said about
" danger to the country" or " pressure from
" without."

We request the attention of our readers to
the conclusion of the last part of Mr. Dtsittates
speech as reported in the Times of F►iday in
elucidation of the errors of the Government.
The Right Hon. Gentleman insisted that it was
the duty of Ministers to have shown the neces-
sity for keeping up the army, and he defended
the House of Commons from the imputation of
" want of foresight" No case had been laid
before it by the Cabinet. Ministers did not
protest against reduction ; on the contrary,
they facilitated it. With the pliancy which is
the inspiration of " Palmerstonianism " they
yielded to the cry for reduction. -No warning
was given, and no " foresight" was displayed by
the Cabinet ; and yet, forsooth, the Premier of
that Government is rash enough to talk of
" pressure from without" !
London, England, 1857-08-22

RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.

A curious letter from St. Petersburg alludes to
the present unsatisfactory state of the relations be-
tween the Governments, of Vienna and St. Peters-

burg .

The relations between the Courts of St. Petersburg
and Vienna are very unsatisfactory, and may be judged of
by the petty quibbles now indulged in by the Austrian
Cabinet. Everybody is aware that the Emperor of Russia
is also King of Poland, and it is very natural that he
should adopt that title in official documents. This can
only be objected to by those who seek a pretext for satis-
fying their bad feeling. Such appears to be the intention
of the Vienna Cabinet, which, through its chargé d'affaires
at our Court, objects that Alexander 11. should assume
the title of emperor and king, which belongs exclusively,
according to that Cabinet, to the Emperor of Austria. It
might be argued that the title of the latter is open to
objection since the unity of the Austrian empire has been
proclaimed, and the loss by the isolated kingdoms of Hun-
gary, Bohemia, ttc., of their distinct existence. Poland,
on the other hand, has a distinct A.lmiuistration. Under
these circumstances, which power is in the right ? Our
Cabinet has simply refused to enter into any discussion on
the subject.

ROMAN CITIZENS.

"PROVIDENT Campania," says the Latin satirist,
gave a fever to POMPEY, who might then have
died with the reputation of unbroken success
and untarnished greatness. If we may liken
great things to small, the part of that benig-
nant province was in 1852 enacted by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL when Ile dismissed Lord PAL-
MERSTON from his Administration. Had the
Noble Viscount's public career terminated with
that event, he would certainly have missed the
precarious eminence and the equivocal fame
which he now enjoys But he would have
carried to his retirement the honest esteem of
many well-intentioned patriots and the sigcere
admiration of many even of his political oppo-
nents. He might then have descended to
posterity with the character of an honourable
and courageous, though mistaken politician.
His conduct in 1848.9 might perhaps never
have been found out. He might not have been
compelled to swallow his former professions.
And Englishmen, at all events, would still
have clung to the belief that under PALMERS-
ToN's protection they were indeed, as he had
termed it, " Roman citizens."

A few years have turned round to us
the other side of the picture. We find
this Terror of kings and Refuge of the
oppressed unable even to obtain redress for
the destruction of valuable English property
by the guns of a friendly Power ; compelled to
witness the imprisonment of his own Consul
for obedience to his own orders ; and power-
less to rescue two innocent British subjects
from the vindictive maltreatment of a fourth-
rate European sovereign. Greytown, Berlin,
and Naples are witnesses of the truth of our
statements. In addition to which we have had
one representative ignominiously dismissed,
and another little less ignominiously with-
drawn during the regime of this puny plagiarist
of the Caisars.

Some prisoners, we are informed, concerned
in the recent Neapolitan insurrection have
been tried, and some have been liberated, but
it is not known whether the two Englishmen
are among them. Once Lord PALMERSTON, for
less than this, would have swaggered lustily
about a British fleet in the Bay. Even he,
however, has not proved callous to the ridicule
these threats encountered. In a city which
it was supposed the mere mention of British
cannon would have frightened into submis-
sion, placards appeared of a bitterly derisive
character, offering a reward for a British fleet,
supposed to have been lost or stolen in the
Bay of Naples. This unexpected rebuff was
not lost upon the Premier, and the British
• fleet has not been in requisition since. But
really this is a very serious subject. We still
believe that England is that same powerful
nation which we have so long been proud to
think her. Her national character has at
least lost none of its prestige since the late
war We still widely influence the monetary
transactions of the world. Why is it, then,
that we alone are subjected to treatment which
every other country would resent with promp.

PARIS, November, 5.
IT is surprising with what pertinacity certain conti-
nental journals, and more particulary Le Journal de
Frankfort, insist on knowing, not only all that passes
n the private cabinets of the Sovereigns of Europe,
ibut the most secret thoughts of almost every diplo-
matist. One day we are told that the Emperor of
the French is Jetermined to carry out the union of
the Danubian provinces—another day, that he
wavers—and the latest confidential communication
gives as positive that France, abandoned by Russia
and Prussia, has resolved to leave the Roumanian
Divans to the tender mercies of the Porte. Without
pretending to possess official or even officious in-
formation, I firmly believe that no one out of the
French Cabinet knows the real intentions of the
Emperor. Yet I think you may rely on the fact
that the best and most perfect understanding on the
Danubian question exists between France, Russia,
l'russia, and Sardinia, and, further, that not one of
these powers has either wavered, modified, or
abandoned their original intentions. France and
Sardinia have ever advocated the principle that the
wishes of the people should be consulted as to its
form of government. Russia and Prussia, although
in favour of the union, reserve giving a decided
opinion until the meeting of the Paris Congress.
But if you refer to the Protocols of the Peace Con-
ference of the Bth March, you will there find that
Count Orloff most distinctly says that the union of
the provinces would contribute to their prosperity.
In my opinion, then, little or no confidence should
be placed on the speculations of certain continental
journals. Time will show that from first to last the
Emperor of the French has acted on the soundest
political views, and that in him the Danubian pro-
vinces will find a true friend. And who are the
opponents to the union ? Turkey, Austria, and
England. The opposition of the two first powers I

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1857.

As the time approaches for the meeting of the
Congress in Paris, it is natural that the ques-
tion which will occupy the attention of the
Plenipotentiaries should be keenly examined
and freely discussed. In this country it is
already exciting much attention, for England
will be called on to bear a leading part in these
Conferences, which have for their object the
definitive settlement of those particular changes
to be admitted into the future organisation of
the Danubian provinces.
According to the Ministerial papers, Eng-
land will enter upon the business of the Con-
ference indisposed for discussion, with the
question prejudged, and with a determination
to disconcert any proposition leading to a re-
sult adverse to that at which she has already
arrived. Upon a question to be submitted to
a conference " for consideration," prudence,
if not principle, should compel reserve. It is
both a blunder and an act of bad faith to
put forth such manifestos, which only tend
to involve the European Powers in an intri-
cate and critical position. It is conduct not
worthy of a great nation. At the Treaty of
Paris, Lord CLARENDON held one language; it
would seem now that he had entirely adopted
a different tone. The part of England, we
know, must necessarily rest with the Govern-
ment, but the country and Parliament will in-
sist on fair play, and will not permit Ministers,
by a dereliction of their professions, to evade a
present inconvenience at any risk of future
danger, and at the total sacrifice of the good
faith and interests of this country.
One of the last acts of the Plenipotentiaries
at the Treaty of Paris vas to draw up the
instructions for the Danubian Commissioners.
The task confided to them was clearly defined.
They were to investigate the present adminis-
trative system of the two Principalities, and
to obtain from the Divans ad Iwe, about to be
convoked, an expression of the wishes of the
people with regard to the definitive organisa-
tion of these countries. The result of
these labours was to be transmitted to the
seat of the Conferences for consideration and
settlement.

These investigations by the Commissioners
of the great Powers have been continued for
some months. The Divans cul hoc have been
convoked, and by an overwhelming mAjority—
in Wallachia without a single dissentient, in
Moldavia with only two—the representatives of
the people have voted in favour of the " Union
" of the provinces under a Western prince." It

THE INDIAN RELIEF FUND.

Lon]) SHAFTESBURY, at a meeting of the Indian Relief
Fund, held at the new Town-hall, Wimborne, and at
which we are told was " a full attendance of the
elite of the neighbourhood, many of whom were
ladies," delivered a powerful speech against showing
mercy to the rebels. The noble lord dilated at
length upon the " exquisite " and " hellish " tor-
tures the rebels had indicted upon our poor country-
women, and with edifying perspicuity entered with
minute detail into the nature of those tortures. And
who, asked the noble lord, were they who perpetrated
these atrocities ?
Was this a nation risen in the sense of its wrongs,
writhing under torture, plunder, oppression, cruelty;
under the violation of every sacred and social right ;
rising to recover their lost linerties ; rising as one man to
assert their independence and the integrity of their re-
ligion? No such thing. Has any proclamation been put
nut by the rebels that they had a single wrong to complain
of? Have you found in any one instance a national, or
even the sympton of a national, rising? Has not the
whole country, with a very few exceptions, been perfectly
tranquil and quiescent? Have not the greater part of the
villages assisted the royal troops, and attempted to dis-
comfit the mutineers ? Wherever an exception has
occurred it may be traced to the brigands and dacoits, and
those wild and lawless hordes that will always be found in
the continent of India wandering from one village to
another? The villagers themselves iu no instance have
risen against the British power; they have known that
their security consisted in the vigour and permanence of
her Majesty's dominion. From whom, then, rose this
frightful rebellion ?
• -

The noble lord then answered his own question in
a manner perfectly satisfactory to himself if not t
his hearers, and concluded by obierving that justice
simple justice," demands that we should exact of the
mutineers that compensation due upon the perpetra-
tion of crimes unparalleled in the history of mankind."
The noble earl, in an address of considerable length
and much earnestness, urged the presenting of a
memorial to her Majesty, and afterwards to Parlia-
ment, seeking "better government" in India for the
future; the granting to ell religions their full liberty ;
and urged also the placing of unlimited power in the
hands of Government to put down the mutinies.

The fund continues to progress most satisfactorily.
Subs.7riptions daily pour in from all quarters—from
towns and villages, counties and boroughs, from
soldiers, sailors, and civilians, public societies, and
public offices. The sum already subscribed exceeds,
we believe, 200,0001. With respect to the recent
complaint at Worcester of Mr. Acton, Sir J. Paking-
ton, in a public letter to the county paper, has suc-
cessfully vindicated the administration of the
Patriotic Fund from the charges brought against it by
Mr. Acton and the Roman Catholic body generally.

6 p.m.
The Ministerial crisis in Belgium, according to
official communications, becomes daily more compli.
cated. The extreme Liberal party are unable to
form a Ministry because they insist on engaging the
King to accept a programme of their own, amongst
which are the following propositions :-
1. Dissolution of Parliament immediately.
2. Entire change of Government officials.
3. Permission to bring in several new bills.
The King looked upon these propositions as too
dictatorial, and refused to accept a Cabinet under
such circumstances. At the same time the Conser-
vative party met and agreed to protest against the
dissolution of Parliament. When this despatch left
yesterday there was no immediate probability of
arranging difficulties. The complications have been
brought about in a great measure by the Jesuitical
Church party, who, however, have now retired from
the scene of action. The Belgian journals tell us
M. de Brouckere, after having conferred with his
friends, had declined to form a Ministry. M. Rogier,
Belgian Minister at Paris, had been received by the
King. The Liberal journals of Liege, Ghent, and
other large towns, demand a dissolution of Parlia-
ment ; the organs of the clerical party oppose it.

Sir,—ln the Times newspaper of last Thursday, the
editor stated that a detachment of the 2nd Bombay Light
Cavalry had mutinied at Deese, and had been destroyed
by her Majesty's 83rd Regiment at that station ; and in
last Monday's paper there is an article extracted from the
English paper, the Press, the publication of which is calcu-
lated to have a very pernicious effect at the present time.

enough to warn the editors of English and native news—
papers within your jurisdiction against republishing the
articles in question.-1 have, &c.,

A GOOD MANS DEATH.

A wood fire burnt low in the wide fireplace, and candles
stood in the tall silver candlesticks, butin that large room
they seemed to burn dimly, and cast but a feeble light on
the dark curtains that hung in the windows and round the
bed where the dying man lay.
He opened his eyes as Clarice came into the room, and
even smiled faintly as she seated herself by the bedsidt,
and took the poor worn hand that lay on the counterpane.
Mrs. Thompson, the housekeeper, stood near, and wiped,
from time to time, the dews from his brow. His breathing
was deep and distressing. The sobs of old Dodsworth, as
he knelt by the bedside, were painful to hear; but no sounds
appeared now to disturb the dying man, though the blast
shrieked louder and wilder. It seemed as if the spirits of
the storm had been unloosed that night. Even the heavy
curtains in the windows were moved by the wind, and the
roaring sound in the chimney increased in violence.
" What an awful night, ma'am," said Thompson, in a low
tone to Clarice; " I never remember such a storm'."
Clarice sat quietly holding her old friend's hand, every
now and then she repeated some text of Scripture which
she thought would comfort him, and he showed that he
was sensible by the slight pressure of his fingers upon
hers.
Nine o'clock struck, and old I)odsworth rowed himself
from his grief to pile fresh logs on the smouldering fire.
Mr. Latymer's breathing became deeper—more spasmodic;
then it seemed to cease altogether ; then there came a
struggle; he dropped Clarice 's hand, and caught at the
bedclothes; lie made a violent effort, again he opened his
eyes, and fixing them on Clarice, he made a movement
with his arms.
" Kiss me, Clarice," he murmured, but so faintly that
her ear alone caught the sound of his words.
She stooped, and gently kissed the cold forehead of the
dying man.
A faint, sweet smile again passed over his face ; a low
sigh, and then his head fell back on the pillow. Mr.
Latymer was dead.

Mr. Cockspur blushed slightly. That ♦ery day he
had had a finger in a transaction whipli he would have
been sor►y to see exposed to the light of public opinion.
But Mr. Maultory was not going to let the subject
drop so easily.
" "The wit of the Americans is the finest in the world ;
they have imaginations boundless as their forests, deep as
their stupendous rivers."
Mr. Maultory dealt in the sublime, and before he be-
came a general dealer had held forth with much effect at
Ebenezer.
Sir Hugh could hold no longer. " Yon have been
more fortunate in the specimens of the natives that have
