LONDON. 7 UESDAY. FEB. 13.

AT length we know something of the cast of the
Great Indian Mutiny. It has entailed upon the
Government of India a military expenditure of
eighteen millions, besides loose 'mounting to about
five millions more. The &pay outbreak has thus
cost the enormous lam of 21,000,0004

The sasouneement of this het produced a gnat
sensation is the Home I sad after the acconate
transmitted from Indie—usollicial indeed, but de-
rived from respectable somas and widely diem&
mated ben—is which the delleissey was easnassely
underrated, it will came great surprise in the lOW*
try. Brea this sum of 21 millioos dos not Wands
the compensation which it will be oftimary
to make for losses rinsed by the blear.
rection ; bat against this may be set the
lands and pensions forfeited by the leaden
of the insurrection. While the dedeisney so hr
exceeds the general expectetlen a the polio, the
sum asked for by Lord STANLET by way of lean
falls below it. The President of the Council of
India seaside's that siren milhans will suffice for
the present wants of the Goverment.

We do not intend at this moment to fellow Lord
STANLEY in his comprehensive survey tithe Villanelle
of India. The immediate inquiry Is, what is to be
done ? Many of as, tOpOCOSUy at this particular period
of the year, know, unfortunately too well, what it Is
to colenlate the sum-total of oar yearly tills at ea
amount far exceeding that of any possible meets imme-
diately retinal' for the purpose of their payment. We
have had ems repairs, perhaps, eel large male to
=seats, or we have bees esimpelled r restershis ear
house, or we he= hod to =set awe is business, or
to marry • daughter, or to do esmathing el= set
properly imolai= in oar " current =pea= i" and
so we are pat eat far the time, mined we feel that,
however learners= Ur nisetha, we must bethink
eunsivea of ea= extraardlnery mares of renew.
The beet this' to Induce ander =eh obeanastanses
if peseible, to =new oar seraloge ; hat this is =sew
amrlly • melt of slow aososapliameagoad the demand
may be =mediate and inevitable. la this dilemma
though borrowing is always palatal, we mast resew
ale ourselves to the vexations asementy. Rightly
seasidered, it is simply to =rend over • forte=
number of years the payment of certain extraordi-
nary expense, which properly belong to them years,
or to a much larger number. Whether than extra-
ordinary expellees partake of the nature of =teal
lessee or of reproductive improvements, they are not
continually recurring expenses, and are, therefore,
not properly to be met out of the year's imeeme.
t pon the debtor and creditor account, thersibra of
the year, there most, under such circumstances he a
deficit ; and only a very weak-minded cowardly mien
breaks his heart over an intelligible and appreeishie
necessity, which after all dose not impose apes him
any very formidable conditions.
If this necessity is the exception rather than the
rule with individual*, it is the rule rather than the
exception with Governments. To " go in for a loaa"
is so common an affair in the concerns of nations
that those happy countries whose annals are a
blank, and who therefore pay their way quietly,
never laying bare their necessities and never appeal-
ing to the people for help, are held to be of smell
account by surrounding nations. Every State that
make, any noise in the world is sure to be a frequent
borrower. France borrows ; England borrows;
Austria borrows ; even Sardinia, as soon as it comes
out of the rank of petty kingships, goes into the
Money Market for a loan. Why, then, are we to
pull long faces because, after two years of un-
exampled convulsion, money, beyond the extant
of the realisable revenue, is required for pa.-
poses of Indian government ? How can we =pest,
after such a conflagration, involving net only an
immense sacrifice of uninsured property, but a sr-
pension of the ordinary means of realisation, that we
should be able to pay our way without borrowing
money ? But to want money, and to be hopellemely
bankrupt, are two very different things; mad we
confess that we see nothing in the present ember-
moments of our Indian financiers to render us at all
hopeless of the future prosperity of India, or in any
way unhappy about tho prospects of that =gall-
cent empire,

We holier* that the revenues of India are
perfectly good security for any adimmt of
which the present necessities of Ocreerainsat awa
likely to compel the borrowing; but it is not to be
forgotten that there has recently been a great and
unexampled crisis, ►nd that, therefore, public con-
fidence has been greatly shaken. The people el
England do not understand the subject of Indian
Finance, and they are prone to exaggerate the pus►
manent difficulties resulting from such a disturb's=
of the whole system se they have lately bees NW
pellsd to witness. They talk of a chronic deadens,
of revenue ; and refer to times antecedent to the gnat
rebellion, forgetful that the deficiency, as Laid
BTAILIT pointed out last night, was created by
mut extrsoedinary expenditure on reproductive works.
Ws can imagine nothing more
nothisg indeed more preposterous
like repudiation of the Imperial interest in the finan-
cia► affairs of British India. Not an imperial quell-
Loo—not a national question !—why was not this
discovered before? Has not the Parliament, he,.
not the people of England insisted upon making
India the immediate concern of thelmprial Gomm-
meat.? Have the y not, contrary le the advise, OW
trory to the remonstrances of most experieneed mode

anyt hiog

Wield apse transferring to the hassle of the
vial Government all the met*, and taking the entire
menogenient of our Anglo-Indian Empire; and
are they then to repudiate its liabilities ? Is England
to insist upon the virtual adminietr►tion of an
annual revenue of twenty-sight millions, and to
throw up its hands in despair when it is asked
to authorise a loan amounting to a quarter of a
year's income ? Every year England has reason,
for its own sake, for its own profit, to take a deeper
interest in Indian affairs. The excludes system,
once protested against, has been abolished. All the
best appointments in the Indian services are thrown
open to public competition. It is the Imperial army
that now overruns the country, and is paid nem the
revenues of India. A great effort is now being made
to transfer the entire military administration
of the country to the Imperial Government.
England, indeed, claims for itself the right of
conferring ;upon the ;nation at large all the benefit
derivable from its great Indian dependency. And is
it now, after insisting upon sweeping away every
vestige of profitable monopoly, to leave to the
Government of India a monopoly of suffering, an
exclusive right to all the embarrassments resulting
from the crisis which was the pretext for wresting
the government from the hands of the Fast India
Company ?
We have no fear for the financial future of our
Indian empire. Public confidence in its stability has
been temporarily shaken ; but it will soon be restored.
There is no reason to anticipate, in future
years, a chronic deficiency of revenue. Some re-
adjustment of the financial system of the country
may be eseessery. Thee readjustment is now under
consideration, sad from time to time we shall take
occasion to report upon it. Our concern, at this
moment, is with the present, not with the future.
Money is required for immediate purposes el ladies
government, and the good faith of the nation Is
staked upon its supply.

LAST night the CIANCILLOA of the EXCEIQVIII
made another announeement—the third withia a
fortnight—of the intentions of the Government
respecting the Reform BilL The measure is to be
brought forward on the 28th inet.—next Monday
week. It is to be a Bill not only "to &mead the
" laws relating to the representation of the people
" of England and Wales," but also " to facilitate
" the registration and voting of electore." How
is the voting of electors to be facilitated ? Have
Lord Deasy and his cassettes rewired to adopt the
Ballot ? Hardly that c we ere left, thirster% to infer
that emus device for turning that questisa—pssei-
bly that of voting papas—is to be brought forward.
In web a project they may expect to naive tile
support of all who wish to me the representatives of
England returned by the pooseoranti, the idle, and
the supereannated ; those, however, who desire that
resoahere of the House a< Gemmeas may represent
the vigour and vitality of the country will
strenuously oppose enels a psopultion.

Tau House of Cosmos is expecting the advent
of its wrest member, is the pima of Mr. Jost,
Oawau. Lavas, who was last Friday elated for
Galway. The return of this gentleman bas bees
attended by eimastanese which suggest a near
eity for revisiag ease oureat doctrines relating to
oar represratative system. In sound constitu-
tional mays we are tabd that it is a fallacy to
sapper that a member of the Hewn el COMM=
rogosswate easy the electors by when suffrages he
WWI snlsaed. On the contrary, he represents the
Nam a Nap so far is he free being the mere
_ _ _ _

of hie essistitesote, that It le more
" true to my be mess to repressed them upos being
"retuned; thmosimwarel representing may the
• may. I. may seas where the interests of any
"ossmity er borough may be conceived to clash with
• them of the public, the member for that county
"or herough is not oasatitutionally bound to sup-
" pert its little interests agaisst those of the nation.
" He is bound to stand by the public, because he is
" returned for that purpose. That is the 000stitn-
" hostel meaning of his electioo. The member re-
" turned is everybody's member."

Bash is the prevalent view of the duties of Mem-
bers of Parliament ; the words is which we have
stated them occur in the mums of a general article
is lost Saturday's Examiner, written without refer-
owe to any paranoiac election. Mr. LEVER'S MUM
is a protest against them. Why should Galway
sacrifice itself ler the conatitotion, which probably it
*1 naves tow r At any rats it will not, as indeed it
mow did. " Let me tell you," said Father DALT,
the proposer of Mr. Lama, in whom all Galway
spoke, on the hustings, "I have no politics
"sow but my packet station, and I will bind him to
" ham no politics but the politics which will promote
"the establishment of a packet station at Galway."
Mr. Levis could sccept the commission with-
oat sacrificing any strong political opinion' of his
own. He said to the electors, " I come before
"yea in the name of commerce, which we must have,
"sad then we shell ham employment for the people.
"What the utility of talking about giving 10(1., or
"18., or ss. a day ? How can a family be kept on
"so mall a sum ? But I hope and trust that you in
"Galway will be receiving in 12 months from this
"48.5 day. I shall givs every possible uneaten to
" tbs Government that meats the Galway packet
"station ; and the Government that does not assist
a' the packet station, I shall be against. That is ths
"project to which I intend to: devote my future.
This is candid towards the other constituencies of
tbs United Kingdom. Galway will look to number
as..

There is something startling in the naked announce-
mint of the intention ; but, after all, no great
change has been made. So far as the electors now
study their permanent interest; instead of as for-
merly their momentary gratification, by mesas of
bribery, the new practice is an improvement. Ger-
Welly It is see worse than Sir THOMAS Stiana's
bribing 200 freemen in 1687, with the aid of the
" Invisible Lady " and the pigeon-bole in Mr.
Ounit's bakehorme.

TURIN, Fan, 10.

Yesterday the Chamber voted by a lugs majority
the loan of 50 millions for the military defence of t►e
kingdom. Yon will read in the Piedmonteze Gazette
the speech of Count Cavour, which made a great
impression. The sitting became very agitated
toward' its close, on amount of some deputies from
Savoy, who indulged in reclamations and accusations
the most inopportune that can be conceived. For
ten years that the parliamentary form of govern-
ment has obtained here, this was the first time that
the president of the Chamber wu obliged to
put on hie hat, and declare the sitting impended.
The suspension did not last longer than one minute.
The Count of Viry, the chief author of the scan-
dalous scene, resigned himself at length to Waste,
and the debate wu resumed in the usual regular
way. The whole of the Right, commonly called the
clerical party, refused to vote for the law. This
party, indeed, dragged itself out of its torpid feu-
ticisni to denounce the emancipation of Italy as a
misfortune, because it would involve a change in the
present political system of the Papal States, and
threaten, as they assert, the very existence of the
Pope's temporal power.

At Roma itself there is great alarm ; and the
Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Morlot, has had a spe-
cial interview about it with Napoleon IIL, recom-
mending the Emperor, in the name of the Chief Pon-
tiff, not to compromise the interests of the church.
In Tuscany fear is equally in the ascendant. On
leaving Florence the Orand Duke took with him
such an amount of baggage as to create an omen of
protracted absence on his part. The discipline in
the ranks of tke liberal party is in the meantime
perfect. Piedmont commands, and Piedmont alone
is obeyed. In Lombardy the political prisoners are
already upwards of a thousand, and part of them
consist of most respectable men ; yet no one will
commence a tumult, because patience and calm have
been enjoined to all.

LIVERPOOL, Pommy Wilma.

The steamer Europa, from New York, with data
to Feb. 2, has arrived. She brings forty-five pas-
sengers and 872,4 U dollars.
The steamer Cirosesian, from Galway on the 11th
alt., arrived at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the
night of the 29th short of coal.
A large steamer, supposed to be the Asia, hence
for Now Yark, passed Cape Race on 30th Jan. She
was expected to reach New York on the 3rd of Feb.
The Europa reports passing the following steamers,
all from this port for America:—The America, Africa,
and the Niagara.
Mr. W. H. Prescott, the historian, died on the 28th
alt., after • brief illness, caused by an attack of
apoplexy. His age wee 62.

Nothing had been done in Congress on the Cuban
question.
The tariff and the financial wants of the govern-
ment monopolised attention. The Democrats had
taken a very decided stand in opposition to • change
of tariff. A canoes of democratic senators, held to
deliberate upon the tariff question, adopted resolu-
tions declaring it inexpedient to change the law at
the present session of Congress, and also that it is the
duty of Congress to reduce the expenditures instead
of increasing the revenue, in order to meet the re-
q•irements of the public service. This action has
created no little excitement, especially among the
Pennsylvania delegation, whom together with the
Republicans will vote for no loan bill unless a change
in the tariff is coupled with it. The members of the
hones opposed to a protective tariff had likewise
held a meeting, and adopted resolutions of a similar
purport. Propositions for loans and change' in the
tariff had been made in both houses, but without
leading teeny result.
In the house, a preamble and resolutions, setting
forth that there is strong reason to apprehend that
the laws for the suppression of the African slave
trade are to be set at defiance, and their violation
openly countenanced and encouraged by the citizens
of a portion of the states ; that the existing laws
against the slave traffic should remain unchanged
and that the President should at all times be ens
tamed in enforcing such laws, were read, and •
motion made to suspend the rules to permit of their
being introduced. The motion was defeated by a
vote of 84 "yeas," to 116 " nays."
William Cranch Bond, an eminent astronomer, is
dead.

The Canadian Parliament was opened on the 29th
alt. The Governor-General in his speech sap, re-

fearing to the seat of government question: "The
legislature solicited our gracious Queen to exercise
her prerogative in making such a selection ; an act,
=Never, was paned adopting beforehand the deci-
sion of her Majesty and appropriating the necessary
funds. This act of the Canadian parliament and the
decision of the Queen are binding on the execu-
tive government of the province, and it will
be their duty to carry out the understand-
ing which existed at the time when the re.
foresee was made by which the government
will be transferred to Quebec for a fixed period
until the neesmary engagements shall have been
completed. The eorrespoadence with her Majesty's
government will be laid before you, and I cannot
doubt that you will recognise a selection made by
her Majesty at your own request, and that you will
duly acknowledge her gracious compliance with the
addresses which you yourselves caused to be presented
•to her .° In regard to the federation of the British
provinces he says : " The possibility of uniting by
some tie of a federal character the British colonies in
North America has formed the subject of corre-
spondence which will be placed in your hands. I
will also cause to be submitted to you despatches
from her Majesty's Secretary of State in relation to
the questions effecting the Hudson's Bay Company,
and on the subject of the Interoolonial Railway." In
reference to financial affairs he says--" It is grati-
fying to me to be able to state that symptoms
of amendment have begun to show themselves, and
I trust that should Providence bless Canada this year
with her usually abundant harvest, she will recover
her former prosperous condition. The exercise of a
sound and rigid economy in every department of the
public service will, I hope, again enable us to bring
our whole expenditure within the limits required by
oar revenue." In regard to supplies and the tariff,
he says: " In asking the supplies for her Majesty's
service, I desire to assure you that everything will
be done with a view to placing the tariff on a Naar
factory footing. The principle of ad valorem duties
will be proposed for your adoption in all oases in
which it can be properly carried out."
