LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 30.

Ova national honour, our national security require,
that the fall extent of the danger to which 1413 are
exposed by the mutinous spirit in the Bengal Army
should be fairly appreciated. Equally indispensable
is it that we guard ourselves against such panic-
inspired exaggerations of the danger u Lord ELLEN-
/10101;6U feels or affects.

In the first plane, the disaffection, so far as can be
gathered from the accounts received by the Overland
Mail, is, even in Bengal, confined almost entirely to
the army. Throughout Western India the Sindees
and the Juts are loyal to the Company's Govern-
ment. The English who escaped from Delhi have
been protected by the Zemindars in the vicinity.
The Princes of the Mahratta and Rajpoot
races have spontaneously tendered their as-
sistance to the Anglo-Indian Government. In
Oude, where the bold step of dethroning
a dynasty was so recently taken, the native popula-
tion remain perfectly tranquil. And even in Benares
—the seat and centre of Brehm inieal influence—there

me no symptoms of agitation. The necessary in-
Arm ee from these facts is, that the turbulent spirit
which has so alarmingly manifested itself can
sesreely be said to extend beyond the regimented
fast of the population. Some of the suttler castes,
who throng the bazaar, of our cantonments, may
have made common cause with the soldiery ; but the
welikegentry, the native priesthood', and the native
peseentey, se fart we are at present informed, have
with sue weep-' stood aloof from the mutineers.
Eves the ewe eneeption—thc unfortunate descendant
of the Moguls--will probably be found to have been
acting under compulsion.
Again, the portion of the Bengal Army which, at
the time the mails were despatched, was known to
have broken out into actual mutiny, was compara-
tively limited. A distinction must be made between
those soldiers and regiments who are infected with
the smouldering spirit of insubordination which
pervades the Bengal Army to such a lamentable
extent, and those who have dared to commit overt
acts of mutiny. Prompt and resolute action
against the latter, and the adoption, in respect
to the whole Army, of a stern system of disci-
pline, tempered with justice, may prevent the evil
spreading farther than it has done. The number of
regiments known to be compromised, at the date of
the most recent despatches, was not so great as to
warrant any serious apprehension that the mutiny
eardil set be prevented from attaining more gigantic
ilimendeem They did not exceed in all 8,000 men.
The two regiments who first mutinied at Barrack-
pare hare been disarmed and disbanded. The
remains of the three regiments who made good their
retreat to Delhi, with the three regiments and the
battery of artillery who joined them there, are
allbetually hemmed in in that city, and the
heatile troops who encircle them ought by this
time to be drawn close to the walls. The only other
places at which outbreaks are even reported to have
taken place are Ferozepore and Allahabad. The
renal matinee,* are broken up into small detached
amp, which have no means of communication with
bib odor. They have no leader of military skill,
041111114144 g the prestige acquired from a recognised
esoareign position, to rally round. The only thing
b common that animates them is a vague spirit
of turbulence. Acts of insubordination were
committed before the idea appears to have
occurred to the ringleaders of assigning the
introduction of the new cartridges as the
cameo of their discontent. It is a fact that the
entries which the 19th (disbanded at Barrack-
pore) refused to ass were manufactured by the na-
tive regiment which preceded them at the station.
In the intercepted letter from the irregular regi-
ment, whose attempt at mutiny was so promptly sod
elkctoally checked at Luck now, to the 48th Regiment,
they say not a word of religions grievances; they
simply intimate that they are ready to join in any
row—" tell us what to do." Widely spread though
this demoralisation is through the ranks of the Bengal

army, it is clear that all ansnet corrupted. At Meerut
the 11th Regiment evidently joined the mutiny
with reluctance. The artillerymen at Delhi saved
the lives of their officers. Not lbw Havildare in

A Omni European face, when the lateet accounts
wars sent off, was being moved from the North—from
Unballah. Two European regiments were on their
way from Madras to Calcutta ; and the 35th of the
QUEEN'S was expected to arrive there from Meet-
mein on the 22nd. These, with the European regi-
ments already in the disturbed districts, would eon.
stitute a sufficient European nucleus, around which
would rally the Bombay troops, returning dashed

SMITH announced last night in the House of Com-
posts. The prompt arrival. of 14,000 man will be et
hint to the 111-disposed that the Emilia are reSoluta
to retain their bold on India. But we concur entirely
in the sanguine anticipation of thb•Preeident of the
Board of Control that the fightingwill be over before
this reinforcement can reach the scene of action. It
is a military mutiny we have to put down in the
valley of the Ganges, not a nation to conquer, or re-
conquer, as the Hero ot the Gates of Somnauth mag-
niloquently phrased it. There must be strict scrutiny
of the past, and reform for the future ; but there will
be no necessity for expelling the missionaries from
India, much less for attempting to carry out the Pro-
crustean doctrine yesterday paraded in the editorial
columns of the limes—of trying by some act of legis-
lative legerdemain to reduce all the various tribes
and sects—all the gradations of civilisation from
Europeans to Blieels—between Pegu and Beloo-
chietan to one common standard of intelligence, and
subjecting them to one common system of law and
police.

Ir is to be hoped that Lord N.►.ta will receive
very general support in the Bill which he has
announced his intention of introducing to-night
for the abolition of the system of Deductions
from the salaries of the Civil Servants, under the
name of a Superannuation Tax. It is really impos-
sible to conceive a case more completely and cogently
made out than that of the Civil Servants for the
abolition of this unwise and odious tax. Every
Committee to which the matter has been referred
has reported spinet the existing system.

The CuANciLLos of the Eicizooza, we are
told, is to rest his opposition to the recommenda.
tion of his Commission mainly on two grounds.
The first and principal is the cost of abolishing the
Deduction system, which, as things at present stand,
may be taken in round numbers at about 70,00 W. a
year. The second is the fact that the Actuaries have
not yet delivered in their report upon the point,
whether the deductions have been more or lees than
the amount required to provide superannuation. This
second ground is anticipated and disposed of in the
Report of the Commissioners. The conclusion at
which they have arrived is, that the Deduction Sys-
tem should be abolished in tuto. That conclusion,
as they justly remark, cannot be affected by
any opinion formed by the Actuaries as to
the excess or deficiency of the deductions
hitherto imposed. There has been no contract,
either express or implied, between Government and
the body of the Civil Servants, respecting the propor-
tion which the Deductions should bear to the Super-
annuations. If the Actuaries should come to the
conclusion that the deductions have been in excess,
the Civil Servants do not pretend tbatthey have any
ground of claiming repayment on that account.
They ask no more than that the deductions should
be abolished for the future. If, on the other hand,
the Deductions should prove to have been less than
an equivalent for the Superannuation', that would
leave the recommendation of the Commissioners fur

their abolition equally untouched, for that recom-
mendation is based on grounds entirely independent
of any proportion between the tax and the fund.
It is scarcely probable, indeed, that the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will be able to avail
himself to any extent of this delay in presenting the
Report of the Actuaries, as a ground for delay in
acting on the Report of the Commissioners. His
strong topic will no doubt be the argamenium ed
ecumenism premed yesterday with such hasty zeal
by Mr. Rtcu. lle will take his stand on the 70,00 W.
a year which the abolition of the Deductions will
throw on the Consolidated Fund. The answer to
this objection is nut difficult. 70,0001. a year, even
supposing it to be a continuous charge, would not
be too high a price to pay for the increased efficiency
of the public service, and for the removal of the
sense of hardship and injustice under which that
service will continue to labour as long as the present
tax is maintained. Nothing is more remote from a
wise economy than a pinching parsimony. Good ser-
vice is worth a good price, and bad service is dear at
any price. The Commissioners point out the true direr-

Lion in which retrenchment should be sought in this
matter. "Economy," they say, "is to be pro-
moted, not so much by cutting down salaries,
ma by taking means to render the services of
public officers more efficient, and time to be
enabled to reduce their number." It is by
abolishing the Deduction System, and carrying out
to its legitimate extent the Competitive Examina-
tion System, that the great objects of combined
economy and efficiency will best be secured. Huth
aro sacrificed by the vexatious and unjust method of
taxation to which the CHANCELLOR of the Exam-
tit'F.K, in spite of its unanimous condemnation by all
who have really investigated it, has hitherto con-
tinued to cling. The reliance of the Civil Servants
must be on the justice of the Howe of Commons.

Park and inspect the statue lately placed there in commemo-
ration of her Majesty's visit in 18.51, it is probable that her

Lord Palmerston arrived at Manchester last evening from
London. During his stay the noble lord will be the guest of
Mr. Thomas Fairlatim. Ilia lordship arrived at the Bs-
hibitks at half-past ten o'clock this morning. The
Marquis of Stafford and Lord Alfred Paget travelled
from London by the royal train, end the following
are also in Manchester:—Lady Omaha's, Viscount and
Viscountess Ebrington, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone,
M.P., and hire. Gladstone, Sir Joseph Paxton, Baron
Rothschild, Count do Neuwerkerke, and Sir Morton Peto,
Bart. The Art Treasures Hotel, Aytonn-street, has been
engaged for the Prussian embassy.

There are of present staying at Woreley New Hall, with
the exception of her majesty, the other royal guests, and the
suite, the Earl and Countess of Ellesmere, and the following
members of the family :—The Earl of Cawdor, Lord and
Lady Emlyn, end Me John and Lady Georgina Balfour.
The Earl of Burlington, lord lieutenant of the county, is
staying with the Hon. Algernon Egerton, at the Old Hall.
The preseotat ion of the address of the Corporation of Man-
chester to Prince Frederick William of Prussia takes plea
to-morrow at the Town-hall. It is expected that his Royal
Highness will be accompanied by the Prince Consort and by
the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred.

Worsley Hall, at which her Majesty is sojourn-
ing, is about eight miles north of Manchester. In eun•
fortuity with her Majesty's desire, no extraordinary prepara-
tions have been made by the Earl of Ellesmere. The suite
of rooms placed at the disposal of her Majesty and her
family are of course, the bait in the ball; but the furni-
ture is unchanged, and nothing has been done within the
mansion to alter the chancier of existing arrangamento.
Her Mojesty's visit hos not, therefore, been attmdM with
any of the expensive and generally unnecessary
tines hitherto considered uindispensable when tLs7lls7:-
reign screpts the hospitality of a subject. A few guests
we invited to meet her Majesty and the Prince of Prussia,
but in all other respects the royal visitors will be enabled to
enjoy the same description of privacy to be found at Os-
borne or Balmoral.

fhe magnificent historical picture in water co-
lours of the opening of the txbibiticn by the Crime Con-
sort on the bth of May, waa placed upon an end in the

CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the fifth annual general meeting
of the proprietor of the Crystal Palm* wad held at the
Bridge Howie Hotel, Mr. Aunt: a. Anutailux, chairman
of the Board of Direetore, in the choir.

The advertisement convening the meeting having been
read,
Mr. LYONi observed that the accounts had not been
Issued in accordance with the 38th section of the deed of
settlement, which provided that the balunce should be sent
out fourteen days before the meeting. Now he apprehended
that collusion rendered the meeting
Mr. Leeen (the solicitor) mid the meeting was perfectly
legal, but it was in the power of the meeting to adjourn if it
thought fit.
Mr. Leone said he had been down to the Palace to
examine the accounts, but he found obstacles were thrown
in his way, and be was tenable to do en. He would, there-
fore, move that this meeting bo adjourned fee fourteendx a
Mr. SPILLMAN seconded the motion. He had .
1 fortune by tredo in • few years, end he had acquired
sufficient experience to satisfy him that under proper man-
agement the Crystal rehire :eight be made a profitable un-
dertaking.
A limey and irregular discussion 'rob upon this
motion, in the course of which severed speakers alumnae°.
misty eddremed the chair, but eventually the motion for
adjournment was withdrawn, and the business of the meeting
was proceeded with.
The common seal having been affixed to the register of
preerietere,
The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, which
was publialied in yesterday's Exprrae. He expressed hie
regret that the natio of the amounts had born so
much delayed, and that when issued they pre-
sented such unftvourable results of the past yeses
operations. kiting a large holder of original charts he
was nut only mortified but a considerable sufferer by the
ill sueetem of the welt Baking. It would appear from the ac-
count, that in si commercial point of view the mummies was
retrograding, hat in point of fact it was not so ;
ha-
oaaae 10. f 001. hod been credited to revenue which might
very fairly be charged to capital. Besides much of the poet ex-
! mediture had been of an exceptional or experimental distracter,
while looking at the future, many items which now appeared
1n the accounts would not be found there. One advantage
of the experiments had proved the adaptability of the pa-
lmy to ntueieal purveys; last year Mr. Costa ex-
premed considerable doubts ups the point, bat even-
tually the opera concerts aatistiel him that his doubts were
ill-iimuded, and recently ho had been still further convinced
of the capabilities of the transept by the auccese of the Han-
del Festival. The pecuniary result of that experi-
ment we.e a grew total of receipts amounting to
between 23.0001. and 24.0001., end of that mu between
9.0001. and 10,0004 would frill to the share of the com-
pany. (Cheers.) The experience of the but and the
present year had satiefied the directors that the
future commercial success of the Crystal Palace must depend
upon the number and extent of its musical entertainments,
and to these entertainments they propped to confine much

of their future attention. Ths'eOmirany had suffered from
the pressure in the money market, but ho believed
with the appourch of espy rate. of interest this
undertaking would be found to be no profitable an irweat-
meat he the almarlootders no It bed already proved itself to
be the brat place of resort for the general ;subtle. (Cheers.)
The motion fur the adoption of the report gave rise
to coast lerahle discureion,butultituately Mr.Punehard moved
en amendment to the effect that a committee of seven share-
hold. rs be apto nted to confer with the directota upon varimaa
points of the retort and accounts including the general 'p-
lan of management. No opposition was offered to this
by the directors, sad when our report left there was
every prospect that the eottunittee would be appointed and
