OUDE.

The state of affairs in Oude is not satisfactory. The
strength of the rebels in that province is estimated
at about 70,000 men and fifty-six guns. The rebel
chiefs. at the head of numerous armed bands, are
actively engaged in preparing for the ensuing cam-
paign, and are enlisting recruits in considerable
numbers. It is reported from Sultanpore, that the
rebels intend to fall back on Ameithee, the strong-
hold of the rebel Rajah Lath Mando Singh, and partly
on Mozuffernuggur, ten miles from Sultanpore.

AN ENGLISH SWINDLER.

An Englishman, named James Foot, has been
sentenced by the Assize Court of the Seine to hard
lsoour for life for having issued a forged piece of two
francs in payment for a glass of wine in a cabaret at
Grenelle. Another false piece of five francs was
found at his lodgings, for the possession of which he
gave no acceptable excuse. There was a count for
torging the false money as well as knowingly passing
it, but this the jury expressly negatived. An alleged
accomplice of the prisoner's has escaped to England.
MODIFICATIONS OF THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.
The Constitutionnt/ of Thursday states that the
Minister of the Interior, anxious to increase the
facilities for international intercourse, has given orders
to the Commissaries of Police at seaports and frontier
towns to consider passports henceforward as a title to
the aid of the authorities, and not a cause for delays,
or a pretext for petty annoyances. The Minister is
also occupied in considering whether, in order to
facilitate foreign travel, it would not be well to allow
sub-prefects on the frontiers to grant passports for
abroad.

PRUSSIA.
OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.

The Prussian Chambers were opened on
Wednesday. The address of the Regent was
similar in tone to the notification which announced
his acceptance of his new position. His Foyal
Highness further announced his intentionof governing
according to the constitution and laws, and
observed The more gloomy the aspect of present
affairs is, in consequence of the King's health, the
higher the standard of Prussia must be raised, in the
conscientious dislharge of our duty and mutual con-
fidence." The Prince Regent concluded the speech
with 46 God save the Ring."

TUE ELOPEMENT of the daughter of a banker in
the East Riding, who is Deputy-Lieutenant of the
county, and, in her own right, possessed of 10,0001.,
with her father's groom, has caused considerable sen-
sation in Yorkshire. Determined not to marry a
widower, with a small family, for whom she was de•
stined by her parents, the young lady, who is about
twenty-three years of age, left home on horseback.
At Beverley she left her steed, and, with the groom,
proceeded in a chaige to York, and thence by the
mail•train to London.

LIST, SAVILLE, AND BRETT, charged with being
eoncerned in stealing the copper coffin which had
contained the body of Mr. John Taylor, from the
vaults of the Church of St. John, Stratford, were
finally examined before the magistrates at Ilford
Petty Sessions on Saturday last, and committed
for trial.

THE QUEEN having been informed that a poor
woman, named Jones, the wife of an industrious ar-
tizan, residing in a court at Bristol, gave birth to
three children, which give promise by their unusual
vigour under such circumstances of being all reared,
has sent the mother a gift of three sovereigns, one
for each child. The infants have been christened
Faith, Hope, and Charity.
A Hop DUTY MEETING took place on Monday
afternoon at Maidstone, to consider a proposal for
endeavouring " to obtain a remission of one-half of
the Excise charge leviable in respect of the crop of
1858." There were between 200 and 300 planters
present. Major Scott, M.P., was in the chair. After
some discussion a committee was appointed with the
view of presenting a memorial from the growers in
the several districts for a remission of the war duty.
THE ARMY CONTRACT COMMISSIONERS resumed
their inquiry respecting the defalcations at Weedon
in a committee•room, No. 11, of the House of Com-
mons, on Thursday. Mr. John Calvert, of the firm
of Cox and Co., army contractors, was examined,
with the view of refuting a statement made by Mr.
Ramsey, that, under the old clothing system, the
colonels received the benefit of the surplus clothing
in the event of their regiments being reduced after
its issue. Mr. Calvert positively stated that such an
instance had never occurred in his experience, and
he had acted for colonels in such matters for a
period extending over thirty years. C donel Hoare
then put in a long statement detailing the various
delays, mistakes, and vexatious proceedings that had
attended his applications to the War-office respect
ing the clothing and equipment of the battalion-
under his own command. Other witnesses were ex.
awned, and the inquiry was adjourned.

that an increase had been made in the French gar.

UWALIOR.

The Gwalior fugitives, under their leader, Tantia
Topee, turned towards Malwa after their defeat by
General Roberts, and attacked the town of Jalra
Patuu. The Rajah was deserted by his troops, and
fled to the British camp. The town was occupied by
the rebels, who secured a large amount of treasure,
and about forty guns, which added largely to their
strength.
Tantia Topee then moved towards Bhopal, in-
tending to invade the Nizam's territories, but the
Mow field force, under Major-General Michel, de-
feated him near Beora, and dispersed his followers
in all directions. Twinty-five guns were captured
from the rebels, with trifling loss on our part.
Lieutenant G. M. Shaw, 3rd Bombay Cavalry, died
of sunstroke during the pursuit. Additional troops
are being forwarded to !now from Poonah.
_ _

Four emissaries of the Nana have been captured
at Gwalior, endeavouring to tamper with the 25th
Bombay NJ., wbo informed their officers of the plot.
The conspirators were blown away from guns.
Brigadier M'Duff, with a force from Calpee, en-
countered a body of 2,000 or 3,000 rebels near Jalaon
on the sth September, and entirely routed them,
killing between one and two hundred, and taking
twenty-one prisoners.

- CENTRAL INDIA.
Atter the capture of Powree on the 24th August,
Lieut.• Colonel Robertson was despatched in pursuit
of the fugitives, and on the sth September, after a
tedious chase in the jungles, came upon them
suddenly, near Bejapore. The engagement was
sharp and decisive, and our troops gained a complete
victor•, killing 500 of the rebels. Lieutenant Fawcett
of the 95th was the only officer killed.

evening at Windsor Castle. Her Majesty, the

THE PRESS, OCTOBER 23, 1858.

for a long time past to reduce our National
Church to the level of a sect ; it behoves the real
laity of the Church to look to it, lest she become
not only a sect but a persecuted sect. We
should much like to see a " religious census " of
these said "representative men of the metro-
polis," to whose judgment and tender mercies the
Church is to be handed over. How many of
them are bona-fide members of the Church—not
mere occasional church-goers, but communi-
cants ? how many of them are professed Dis-
senters? how many of them Jews? how many
of them infidels? Can Mr. HoitAcE MANN help
us, by publishing a Municipal Directory with the
religious denomination appended to each name ?
We should then have a chance of seeing what we
are about. A propos of this point, one word in
the ear of the Hon. Colonel VERMEIL He is,
we infer from his speech, a Churchman, though
after a fashion peculiarly his own. Nevertheless
we are willing to give him credit for his Church-
manship, such as it is. But is he quite sure that
he is not at this very moment a tool of some
crafty " emissary of Rome ?'' The Jesuit has
played his game before now with simple-minded
ultra-Protestant puppets.
That these matters are fast approaching a
crisis, when something will have to be done to
restore peace and order in the Church, is pretty
evident. We agree with the sentiment uttered
by one of the speakers at St. James's-hall, that to
secure a remedy there must be " a long pull, a
strong pull, and a pull altogether." Nothing
can be more true. The only question is, who
they are that shall "pull together." The ans wer is
obvious—the members of the Church. In saying
this, we wish it to be borne in mind that the
Church does not consist of the clergy alone ; the
laity—the true Church laity, of course, not any-
body that calls himself a " layman " because he
is not in Holy Orders—arc as much an integral
part of the Church as the clergy. We venture
to commend this point more especially to the
notice of their Lordships the Bishops. There is
in the Church laity an element of strength which
has been too much overlooked. Let it be called
into life; let it be made a party to united, cor-
porate Church action. We might then hope to
see harmony, peace, and godly concord reigning,
I where at present all is isolation, discord, and con-
fusion.

THE IMMIGRATION SCHEME.

It is stated, says the Paris correspondent of the
Times, in a report addressed to the Minister of
Marine by Captain Protet, of the Imperial Navy,
who commands the French squadron on the coast
of Africa, that a fresh difficulty has arisen out of the
question of the importation of free negroes into the
French colonies, a vessel so engaged having been
overhauled by the English cruisers, and forced to
reliant the immigrants, although the operation was
perfectly regular.

FOR LADIES.

NICOLL'S PATENT HIGHLAND CLOAK
is a combination of utility, elegance, and comfort. No
Lady having seen or used such in travelling for morning weir
or for covenng full dress would willingly be without our. It
somewhat resembles the old Spanish Roquelalre, and has an
elastic Capuctne Hood. It is not cumbersome or heavy, and
measures from twelve to sixteen yards round the outer edge,
falling in graceful folds from the shoulders; but by a mechanical
contrivance (snob being a part of the Patent) the wearer can
instantly form semi-sleeves, and thus leave the arms at liberty ;
at the same time the Cloak can be made as quickly to resume its
otiginal shape. The mateu lala chiefly used for travelling are the
soft new ral-colon ed shower-proof Woollen Cloths manufactured
by this firm, but fir the uromenade other materials are provided.
The price will be two guineas and a half for each Cloak; but
with the Mhhattique and a lined Hood a few shillings mote are
charged. This department is attended to by Cutters, who pre-
pare Mantles of all kinds, with Velvet, Fur, or Cloth Jackets,
either for in or out door use. These at all times—like this
Firm's Riding Habit—are in good taste and fit well. Female
attendants may also be seen for Pentalons des Dames rbeYsl,
partially composer of Chamois. As no measure is required, the
Patent Highland Cloak can be sent at once to any part of the
Country, and is thus well adapted for a gift. _

CAUTION.

IN consequence of many impudent attempts to
deceive the public, it is necessary to state that all Messrs.
Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mail:,
consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen; to copy
this is fraud, and may be thus detected : it the garment is dark-
cobured, the label has a black ground, with the tirnes name and
address woven by the Jacquard loom in gold.coloured silk; if
the garment is light•coloured, the label has a pale drab ground,
and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures, at a
fixed moderate price, and is of the best materials.
H. J. and D. Nicoll have recognised agents in various parts of
the United Kingdom and Colonies, and any information for-
warded through them will be thankfully acknowledged or paid
for, so that the saute may lead to the prosecuti. o of any person
copying their trade mark, or making an unfair use o their
name; that is to say, in such a wanner as may be calculated to
mislead.

THE LAW OF CHURCH-RATES.

THE following letter has appeared in the Essex and
West Suffolk Gazette :
Sir,—l fear the mljority of Churchmen are but
imperfectly acquainted with the legal position of the
Church-rate question. It seems therefore, at this
moment, necessary that some information should be
afforded on this important subject, in order to place
the law fairly before the public.
I, therefore, with the consent of Mr. Veley, who
possesses a thorough knowledge of the law, send
you, for publication, extracts that he has made from
ihe judgments that were delivered in the Braintree
Church-rate appeal. These extracts give the con•
current opinion of all the judges before whom the
cape was argued.

Two points were decided in this far-famed appeal
case. The first was, that no Church-rate can be
made if resisted by the majority of those entitled to
vot,3 in vestry. The other point was, that the parish-
ioners are bound to repair the parish church. "We
are all of opinion (said Chief Justice Tindal) that
the obligatiun by which the parishioners, that is,
the actual residents within, or the occupiers of lands
and tenements in every parish, are bound to repair
the body of the parish church, whenever necessary,
and to provide all things essential to the performance
of Divine service therein, is an obligation imposed
upon them by the common law of the land."
This is now the law, and remains in force, quite in-
dependent of the decision on the former point.
Every one who infringes the common law is liable to
be indicted, and, no doubt, the churchwardens have
power now to enforce this legal obligation.
From Mr. Veley's paper it is clear that the law is
with the Church. As Lord Truro says, " The duty of
repairing the church, and of providing the necessary
funds for the celebration of Divine worship therein,
is a duty as absolutely binding on the parishioners
as any part of the statute or common law, and which
is so clearly established that no lawyer of any pre-
tensions to competent knowledge upon such subjects
is found to express any doubt upon it."
I see a gentleman has lately published a letter in
one of the county papers wherein he states, what I
think likely to create a false impression, that the
Church-rate is a personal tax. I refer him, for the
law, to Mr. Justice Taifourd—" The right of the
Church, that is of the inhabitants of the pariah,
whether rateable or not, to have the fabric of the

of the diseases peculiar to the English climate, and the founds

cold arise many fatal complaints. The Mel agreeable and effi-

taken on the first symptoms, at once alleviates and soothes the

THE PRESS, DECEMBER 18, 1858.

England and Wales more fairly represented,
Mr. MIALL and Mr. BRIGHT would find their
majority dwindle under the free action of legiti-
mate representation ; and of this they are per-
fectly aware. Hence their ill-concealed terror of

THE ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.

THE Pyne and Harrison management enter upon
their new campaign at Covent•garden Theatre on
Monday next, with a new opera entitled Satanella,
composed expressly for the company by Mr. W. M.
Balfe. The great and peculiar attractions of the
evening, combined with the intere-it which well•wisherg
to native art naturally take in the success of a pro-
fessedly national undertaking, will doubtless insure a
crowded house on the occasion.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
OPERA COMIQUE.
WE have great pleasure in calling attention to the
forthcoming performances of French Comic Opera
at the St. James's Theatre, under the direction of 111.
Remusat, an ertist long and honourably known to the
musical world of London. The elegant and fashion•
able locale is happily chosen, and the published
announcements, showing a goodly array of names,
together with a rich and interesting repertoire of
pieoes to be performed, certainly look very promising.
If the operas are in every respect well put upon the
stage (which we have good reason to believe that
they will be), there can be little doubt that a sufficiem
number of those who admire the light, graceful, and
spirituel in musical art, will be forthcoming to fill
the little St. James's nightly, and render the specula-
tion amply remunerative in a commercial point of
view. Judging from the official prospectus, we
presume that the director intends to rely chiefly upon
the operas of Auber ; and in so doing he will act
wisely, for not only is the composer of Le Domino
Noir, Fra Diavolo, Gustave, and a host or
other chefs.d.ceuvre, the acknowledged head of
the modern French school of opera, and the
first of all in his peculiar department of art, but his
works have, for the most part, enjoyed extensive
popularity in thin country for many years past, and,
though personally unknown here, no contemporary
musician is more highly appreciated or admired by
our public. The dilettanti will likewise be grati-
fied by the production of such works as the Zarapa
of Herold, Helevy's Les ifousquetaires de la Refine,
Boildeau'.4 La Dane Blanche, Gretry's Richard Cato
de Lion (a charming little opera, and quite a novelty
to the British public), all of which, beside many
others, ere to be performed (luring the season,

DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY.

THAT the dexterous management of a retreat
affords proof of good generalship no less conclusive
than the most successful combinations for attack
is an axiom of military science, since the former
must almost necessarily be conducted under
discouragement, and probably in the face of
difficulties, which less frequently beset the latter.
The difficulties of a retreat of course depend
in great measure upon the amount of previous
preparation for such a contingency, but still more
upon the promptitude and perseverance of the
adversary. These thoughts are suggested by the
tone and substance of Mr. BRIGHT'S speech of
Wednesday, the full report of which did not
appear in the London newspapers till yesterday.
We take this speech to be, if not the conclusion,
at all events the climax of the foray which he and
his allies have been pleased to make upon certain
elements of the Constitution in anticipation of a
forthcoming Reform Bill.
Mr. BRIGHT appears to have got as far north
as Edinburgh, and has got a cold. Should his
hoarseness continue, the motley Junta, of whom
he is the mouthpiece, will have some difficulty
in replacing him by a speaker as competent ;
perhaps they will determine to discontinue their
platform practice ; they have not at cominawl
much ordnance of Mr. llitunrc's calibre, and will
probably resort to other means; for they are
not likely to rest contented with the ►resent
result of their exertions, or with having risked the
popularity of their principal organ apparently so
little to the furtherance of their well-known

objects.
It is not always easy to discriminate between
an attack and " reconnaissance en force ;" they
are so easily convertible the one into the other,
that it is often very difficult to decide, whether
the whole movement has not resulted in the
failure of an intended attack, or whether it was
not a feint from the first, made merely in order
to ascertain the position of the defenders of the
intrenchments, and with the further view, per•
haps, of inducing them to waste their ammuni-
tion. No doubt Mr. BRIGHT (we take him as
the type of his backers) has to a certain extent
aroused those elements of popular discontent,
which are ever slumbering beneath the surface of
the happiest communities; and to a certain extent
has also evoked a spirit of opposition between the
several classes of the country, and has thus been
enabled to extend the elements of future organi-
zation for the accomplishment of his purposes
and those of his partizans. Such things as pilot bal-
loons are not unknown in the political atmosphere ;
and perhaps Mr. BRIGHT, who is nowise deficient
in personal courage, has just made an ascent in
one of them ; the descent of these extemporized
conveyances is not unfrequently marked by some
damage to the bones of their freight, and some-
times leaves them happy to have been landed in
situations, commended rather for their softness
than their savour. What is called Bulling

A PARTY OF CowsrssuLuty, folly armed, last
Sunday evening surrounded a publichonse in Cromac
street, Belfast, kept by a woman named M'Kee, and
arrested some fifteen persons who were there assem•
bled, on the charge of being members of an illegal
society The prisoners were immediately marched to
the police•ofce, where Mr. Tracey, resident magis-
trate, and the inspector and sub•inspector of coasts.
bulary were in attendance. The committal was made
out, and the men were immediately marched off,
under a strong escort, and lodged in the county of
Antrim Gaol. The men who have been arrested
are of the class of working men, and of ages ranging
from mere lads to grey haired men. The authorities
are believed to have been in possession of this infor-
mation 'ince last night. There can be no question
as to the promptness and dexterity with which the
arrests have been effected. There is considerable
excitement in the part of the town adjoining Cromac--
street, but no apprehension of any disturbance.

CAUTION.

IN consequence of many impudent attempts fill
deceive the public, it ig necessary to state that all Messrs.
Nicoll's manufactures may be distinguished by a trade mink,
consisting of a silk label attached to each specimen ; to copy
this is fraud, and may be thus detected : if the garment is dark-

cobured, the label hie a black ground, with the-tlFm'a name and

address woven by the Jacque'7ci loom in gold-coloured Bilk; if
the garment is light-coloured, the label has a pale drab ground,
and red letters. Each garment is marked in plain figures, at a
fixed moderate price, and if. of the beet materials.

FRIDAY EVENING.
TEE return of the Bank of England for the week
ending Wednesday last, the 15th inst., shows the
following changes compared with that for the week
preceding :

Decrease in Circulation
Increase in Public Deposits
Increase in Other Deposits
Increase in Securities
increase in Bullion 103,198
Increase in Rest
Increase in Reserve
Bullion in both Departments
Circulation, including Bank Post
B'lls
This comparison shows that the Directors were fully
justified in reducing the rate of discount last week;
for while they have been able to employ more capital
in discounts and advancer, their resources have been
increased by considerable additions to the Reserve.
These additions have proceeded not alone from
reserve payments, but from private deposits. The
stock of Bullion has enlarged until it exceeds nine
teen millions, and the unemployed notes amount to
13,106,0001. The Public Deposits now amount to
the enormous sum of 9,526,0001. They certainly
include those belonging to the India-house ; but in-
dependent of that element the aggregate is very large,
and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is now certain
to have a strong balance in his favour when Parlia-
ment meets.

CENTRAL INDIA.

On the 31st of October and Ist of November
Tanta Topee and his followers, without guns, but
with a number of elephants, crossed the Nerbudda,
forty miles up stream from Hoshungabad, and are
believed to be making towards the Deccan. They
were last heard of as crossing the Chundwara hills.
They have plenty of money, but are short of ammu-
nition. General Michell was at Hoshungabad on
the 7th, and Brigadier Parke expected there on the
Bth. The Resident at Hyderabad and the Commis-
sioner of Nagpore are watching the rebels, and are
prepared.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE SHAREHOLDERS had a tough
battle on Wednesday at the Bridge-house Hotel, at
their half yearly meeting, and the question in dispute,
as may be supposed, was the Sunday question ; and,
as may be also supposed, the Sabbatarians had the
worst of it, it not in argument, at all event; in votes.
It was a good-natured, and yet a terrible fight. The
authority of bishops and archbishops was despised.
Gauntlets were thrown down, which do not appear
to have been taken up. The word "Sabbath" was
not allowed to be uttered, but the cord " Sunday "
was reckoned permissible. Those who talked of
Sunday- observance, and yet kept carriages, cabs,
omnibuses, and servants employed on the
tffsunday were called " arrant humbugs." In
buns way the storm raged till nearly two
wateldred gentlemen were exhausted, and when the
for ()piss taken the motion to rescind the resolution
a is-,ning the Palace to shareholders was rejected
EAsjority of twentrfour. A ballot was, however,
