A SPECIAL EDITION of the " EXPRESS,"
eentaining the results of the day's Ewes, is pub-
tithed every evening &win the Sporting Season, at
six o'clock.

MS iced is dens! One of the great Powers of
the civilised world is extinguished. Another chap-
ter of haman history (sad one of the most romantic
in the whole record) is closed. The great ruler,
Rex Coonrattaa, whose mere name and shadow
were a spell en the imagination of a hundred
millions of men for long generations, is deposed.
It is always mournful to watch the departure
or extinction of anything really venerable. Bril-
liant ea Florence was when the MEnto resented
as as impertinence the last act of republican custom,
that tread which pet out the last spark of popular
freedom still echoes through history. Proud and
happy as the American colonists were at the achieve-
ment of their independence, there were many who
gamed through tears at the left ship which carried a
myelin freight, as it put off from the shore.
Haughtily as the martial Spaniards drove the Moors
before theca into the Mediterranean, punishing all
who lagged in the final eight, the high-hearted
among those Christian knights could hardly have
paced the halls of tiaracenic palaces, and climbed the
pinnacles of the empty mosques, without some sad-
ness and some tenderness for the departed people, so
brave in their first intrusion, and so learned and to-
compliehed in the midst of their heresy and bigotry.
From the poor Indian remnant on the Missouri, who
close up the burial mound of their last chief, and take
down their last wigwam, and turn their backs on
the period when they were a tribe, to the train of
ZENODIA following their captive queen as she Wined
from the gates of Palmyra into the desert, before
the eyes of a pitying foe, there is no human heart
which ean help suffering when human pride and
greatness succumb to the ultimate destiny of all.
So fails, so languishes, grows dim and dime
All thst this world is proud of. From their Oats
The stars of human glory ere met down .
Parish the suer sad the dowers of kings,
Prismss sod emperors, end the crowns and palms
Of all the mighty, withered and oansunied

And not only does the old imperial and kingly
grandeur of the world's youth thus perish, bot, as
the poet gots on to say, the more modern forma tad
forme of social rule.

For these, too, is Nature always preparing a
shroud, and their splendid trappings must be ex-
changed sooner or later for the covering of common
verdure which finally enwraps all that have lived,
sad all their monuments. We are now at the death-
stroke close of the ablest governments on record.
Its monuments will outlive it long, and we mast make
the most of them, seeing that their nature is that of
the highest order of monuments—the good works
which follow the dead, first to praise them, and then
to lapse with them into oblivion. Without attempt-
ing to measure the magnitude of such monumentain

otter same of illsetriess rule and in this, we may
'duly say that nothing resembling the 'nooses of
the Company's government has been seen elsewhere
than in on empire of India.
Its imposing greatness appears now the least
afteeting part of it. There is no need to commend
to Ezell& hearts the valour manifested on all occa-
sions of need by individuals, from CLIVE to HAVE-
LOCK, and by the Government, from its defiance of
Ernst Au to its mastery over its mutinous
Bengal army. We need net point out to
English eyes the eplendour of the whole
panorama of Indian history, hem the sailing of the
ant fleet into Goa, and the gavials matimeles to
the foreign courts of Asia, to the final spread of
railways, roads, canals, telegraph wires, colleges,
village schools, and civilised= in all its forme.
There can be no need to roues the sensibility of
British men to the dignity of such a hierarchy, and
such a succession, of ability as has been built up and
drawn out within the dominions of the Company,
from the first hoar when it found work for its hand
to do, to the present, when its knell is struck. Net
only Englishmen, but all other awn who care &bent
the doily of their race, are aware of the magnificent
features of our Indian rale, as shown in war, in
wealth, in power, and in genius. No one of the
net multitude of observers will may that in any cos
century of human history then has been elsewhere
such a display of remarkable men, of work done,
and of empire consolidated, as between the
battle of Plaasy, and the victories of HAVELOCK.
But these kinds, and all other kinds of greatness,
will grow dim hereafter in comparison with that
which coostitntes the special glory of oar Indian
rule ; its being planned and carried out for the be-
nefit of India, and more and more expressly so flew
period to period of its history. It is here that we
feel the moat misgiving and the saddest regret. As
we never saw before, we must naturally ask whether
we shall ever or. again, a great empire ruled, not
only by a superior race for the benefit of an infe-
rior, but • Government planned and carried out at
all, expressly for the good of the many.
It may be true, and it is tn., that the empire of
the Company arose by ambition and cupidity, by
encroachment and force of arms. It is true that
there have
.been seltserkers in the councils, sad

tyrants in the palaces at Indiaa. It k true that, il•
spirit of monopoly wee =hided from phe Osm-
pany's trade to other ilepertments of ifs' activity
and authority. It h true that its annals
would have been fairer in the reading if there
had been fewer wars, end that we should have
been prouder of its territory if it had been
mealle-r. It is tree that it had not latterly become
better acquainted with the native mind, and that
improvements in its civil administration were at

least balanced by deterioration in its military
organisation and management. But, admitting all
this and more, the fact remains that the Company
has exercised the most beneficent rule ever exhibted
for an equal length of time ; and that it not oaly
Moused the native population from the penalties of
barbaric rule, but governed them for their own WI.
fore, bestowing on the study of that welfare an
amount of toil, solicitude, generosity, and magnani-
mous devotedness more appropriate to an ideal re-
public than to the transactions of a despotic corpora-
tion. There mast be a world of painful doubt in
the question—the great and ominous question of the
azonsat—whether this aim is to ►e still upheld—
whether this lofty temper is still to animate the
counsels and inspire the acts of future Indian Go-
menasents. At present we hare no great reason for
confidence, and very strong ground for apprehension.
During the most tremendous crisis of Indian history,
we have seen Parliament exhibiting every pomade
evidence of incapacity, levity, caprice, and scepticism,
of that worst kind which grows oat of selfishness in
the soil of ignorance. We who are outside may see
something of the lowering darkness of which oar
legislators seem to be almost insensible. We see no
means taken to replace the native army which has
become our worst foe. We see no prospect of either
pacification or the end of the war, or of sufficient
means of finishing the war being provided.
But we will my no more of what we see or do not
see in the future. The past is enough to engross as at
this moment. There, tar off, we discern the old
English power touching that mysterious shore, and
daring to penetrate among the barbaric shows and
perils of its interior. We see it assuming its cor-
porate form, repairing to the dazzling courts of
Oriental Prince., busy in the bazaars and in the
battle-field, besieged in forts, or mounting the judg-
ment ant, or protecting thrones, or keeping the
pesos between hostile Sovereigns. We me it setting
looms and the plough to work over areas as large as
European kingdoms, and calling home its fleets from
all sees. We me It making laws, indulging religions
while suppressing superstitions, developing intelli-
gence, extirpating fanatical crimes, and bringing to
bear on the welfare of a hundred millions of people
the noblest ability and most strenuous zeal that
liberality of views and of purse ever brought into
action.

We have seen its will overpowered by circum-
stances, and its opulence swallowed up by casualty;
we have seen its merchants withdrawn from the
markets and its fiesta from the sea ; we have seen
the concentrated earnestness with which it devoted
itself to its remaining functions of territorial govern-
ment, and have marked the increase of good works
by which every year has been distinguished. All the
while we were aware, more or lees distinctly, of its
coming change. Where its early armies had gone
oat of eight, there its caravans of wealth had
followed. Its warehouses and its fleets had vanished
next. Some time since its councils and magistracy,
its host of civil functionaries, its armies, its sages at
home and its heroes in the field, turned their faces
in the way that the rest had gone, knowing that
the word would come for them to march. The
storm of rebellion and the panic of popular igno-
rance have precipitated the order; and the some
has closed before any due preparation has been
made for the opening of another. We have all
hoped to the last that the departure would have been
delayed till a safer moment ; but the petty interests
of party have come uppermost in the confusion ;
and we oould only strain our eyes to see the last of
the noblest spectacle of its kind that England or
any other country has had to show. All have now
gone down the horizon, and only their track and
some long shadows remain. Not only other men
will fill their plates, but a different kind of power
will occupy their throne ; lees learned, if a more
1 alert wisdom will sit at their council board. A new
period is setting in; and the morning is a chill and
cloudy one. Whatever the new day m►y turn out,
the caning time can hardly be so remarkable, so
dignified, so exemplary in a constitutional sense,
and so distinctive as a national glory, as that which
expires with the extinction of the East India
Company.

Tae somewhat discursive debate that took place
last Tbureday on the Metropolis Local Management
Act Amendment Bill may have left our readers in
some doubt as to what really was the decision of the
House. The first clause of the Bill provides that
the Metropolitan Board shall provide, " with all eon-
" yenient speed, according to such plan as to them
" may seem proper, the necessary sewers and works
" for preventing as far as may be practicable the
" sewage of the metropolis from passing into the
" Thames within the metropolis." It was urged
that this clause was objectionable as pledging the
Board to a system of intercepting sewerage.
The answer, and ss we think the sufficient answer,
was, that as no plan can be satisfactory which does
not, in some way or other, provide for keeping the
sewage out of the Thames; and as this clause merely
affirmed the principle that the sewage should be
kept out without prescribing in what way that re-
sult should be secured, there could be no reasonable
objection to letting it stand. This view prevailed,
and the first clause remains part of the Bill. It was
otherwise with the second clause. This second
clause specified certain localities as the " points
"of outfall " for the sewage, and made posi-
tive provisions for its deodorisation. Had this
clause been retained se part of the Bill, it would
have been impossible to contend that the Metropo-
litan Board were left to their own discretion in the
Goaded of the works. They would have been tied
down by Act of Parliament to the particular method
of proceeding by intercepting drainage and deodo-
riaation. This result having been clearly pointed
out, Government wisely ccoacwact to abandon the
clause. These alterations having been introdueed
into the Bill, the Metropolitan Board is left com-
pletely master of the whole field. They are pledged to
nothing, except to the duty of again examining, with
that anxious care that the importance of the subject
absolutely demands, the whole bearings of this cot-
&redly difficult question. We are assumed by Mr.
CLAY, on behalf and by the authority of the Board,
that they amide, theologises bound to no partieslar
scheme. There le no reason to doubt the perfect
accuracy of this representation, and the Metro-
politan miblie may therefore feel every confidenee
that not a farthing of their money will be expended
in sewage works till the amplest and moat careful
consideration has been bestowed, by a body of prac-
tical and responsible men, upon all the conditions of
this arduous problem. We most repeat what we
have said already, that if this work ought to be
done, and done at once, It is difficult, if not int-
poseible, to see what more satisfactory machinery is
available for its accomplishment.
