NEW ELECTION COMMITTEES.

Yesterd■ the General Committee of Elections met, and
appointed the last of the election committees, which see se
follows :
GASHEL (Bonot.on).—Sir J. Paxton, Mr. W. F. Pigott,
Mr. G. W. Repton, Lieut.-Col. Smyth (York), and Sir E.
Buxton (chairman).
Bevanteir.—Mr. T. N. Evans (Derby), Mr. J. H. Foley
Lieut-Col. Brownlow Knox, Mr. S. B. Miller, end Mr. I.
A. Smith (chairmen).
Sum, (Honor on).—Mr. J. W. Dod Earl JI11:11311, Mr.
John Martin (Tewkesbury), Mr. J. B. Smith (Stockport),
end Sir J. Y. Buller (chairmen).
DUBLIN (CITY).—Mr. Ayrtina, Hon. B. H. Dutton, Earl
of Gifford, Hon. F. Scutt, and Mr. T. G.Headlam (chairman).

THE BISHOPRIC OF PERTH, AUSTRALIA.—The
ceremony of consenting the venerable Matthew Maras
Hsle, D.U., Archdeacon of Adelaide, to the newly erected
bishopric of Perth, in Western Aostrells, took place on Sa-
turday last, being the festival of St. James, in the chapel of
Lambeth Palace. The consecrating prelates were the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, and the Bishop
of Ripon.
THIS NEXT LORI, MAYOR OF LoNlioN.—Sir R. W.
Carden stands next on the order of rotation for the
mayoralty of the city of London, but there appears to be
some doubt whether he will not be passed over by the livery,
and thou lose his chance of the high honour next year. It I.
the practice of the livery to return to the Court of Aldermen
the two senior members of that body below the chair—that is,
those who have not served the oaks of mayor—and with the
exception of one or two memorable occasions the aldermen
hare selected the senior of the two thou returned. The difS-
culty with regard to Sir It. W. Carden is not with the court
hat with the livery. Some time since, when the Beer Bill
was under consideration, Sir It. W. Carden, who is a warm
advocate for the introduction of the Maine Liquor Law into
this country, made some remarks which highly incensed the
licensed victuallers, through whose instrumentality he was
passed over at the last election, when according to the ordi-
nary course be should have been returned by the livery to
the Court of Aldermen in conjunction with Alderman Final,
the present Lord Mayor. It the threat which has been held
out should be sucecamfully carried into operation at the forth-
coming election, and Sir R. W. etudes be pared over by
the livery, the two aldermen who will in all probability_ be
returned, being those next in rotation, are Alderman Wire
end Alderman flirter, in which caso Alderman Wire will be
Lad Mayor lee the ensuing year. No doubt there will be •
nog allentinei effort on the part of Sir R. W. Carden's
Mends to pirmat the non-caeca eion to the highest dignity
the city otlemein has to bestow. The aldermen below the
chair, sad who see eligible for the honour of the mayoralty,
are (according to succession) ea follows :—Sir R. W. Carden,
11. P., Wire, Cabin, N.r., Sir H. Mugg.eridge, Kennedy,
sad Rae. Pone aldermen, Lawrence, Hale, Phillips, and
Gabriel, not having yet served the office of sheriff, are not
yet competent for election to the civic chair.
COURT OF ALDERIM.—At the Court of Aldermen,
y, Mr. Woodthiwp reed a communication hem the
Yesterday, Mr.
Company, with reference to Potter's ferry, from
the Isle of Dogs to Greenwich. The company bad convicted
certain womb for taking more passengers arras the ferry
then was consistent with safety. The conviction was aim

LONDON, WEDNISDAY, JULY SO.

Oos telegraphic dispatches in antkipation of the
Overland Mail are of a gloomy complexion.
The Indian date are—Caleatta to the 21st and
Madras to the 28th @flans ; Bombay and Ceylon to
the let of July.
On the 17th of Jane Delhi still held out. A
roper had reached Madras, previously to the

dopetak of the Mail, that Delhi bed sarreadered ;
but the report is not coafirmed from Bossbay, which
sight be expected to hare received the intelligence
sower, and from which the Mail was despatched

three days later. Up to the 17th, General Batt-

'ciao hiid repulsed repeated sorties of the Ingo:-

gents, who are mid to dm ssibred se►erely in

those affairs. This, however, seam to imply that
the matinees* la Delhi were still strong in hope.
General BAJIMAILD RIB WidellgOOd to be waiting

Mutiny, it is stated, continued to spread among
the Bengal Repays; bat no putiealan an given.

A more important pises of news, as seeming to
throw light as this extensively ramified and still-
extending mutiny is, that the King of OVDE and his
MiniMers have been arrested, and consigned to Port
William. Government, we are amsred, affirms that
it has prod of their complicity in the mutiny. This
would impart a more serious character to the move-
mentthan it has yet presented itself is ; for the dis-
turbances in Code which afforded a pretext
for the dethronement of the late dynasty,
were mainly occasioned by the conatensnee
which the Court lent to a war waged against

the:Hind/me by certain htshometso zealot,. It the

ex-Government of Chide is really implicated in the
mutiny, the prophecy of some old and experienced
Indian officers that the Hindoo Sepoys would be
found to have been men cat's-paws of Mahometan
plotters will prove true.
The active measures reported to have been Mien
by the Governor-General and his Council—in
addition to the arrest of the ex-King of Ou DE and his
Ministers—may be briefly enumerated. They have
quietly disarmed the native soldiers in Calcutta and
the Brigade at Barrackpore ; and they have passed
a law-subjecting the " Indian peeps" to a licensing
system.! Whether by " Indian" we are to under-
stand merely the "native" press, or the whole news-
paper press of India, does not appear.
An uneasy feeling with regard to the loyalty of
the soldiery prevailed at Madras, but neither there
nor at Bombay had there been any overt acts of
insubordination in the army. The state of mercan-
tile affairs at the three Presidencies, taken as an
indication of public opinion with respect to
the prospects of a restoration of tranquillity,
was rather discouraging. At Calcutta all trade
was nearly at a stand, the money market
was tight, and Government securities had de-
clined. At Madras the import trade was still
brisk, but the money market was less easy, and
Government securities had suffered depreciation.
At Bombay the import market was regarded as
closed, money was becoming scarce, and little was
doing in Government securities.
It would be premature to speculate upon this
intelligence before we are in possession of most full
details, which mast arrive in a few days.

The result of last night's debate, on the Resolu-
tions moved by Sir Di LACY EVANS, respecting
Military Education, is mast satisfactory. We can-
not but feel gratified that the House of Gammons
has unanimously affirmed the principles which we
have so long advocated. The Government, it seems,
has already settled one part of its scheme, and it
promises the rest for next session. Lord Par MER-
wroN is perhaps the only politician of the day who
would have so clearly discerned the signs of the times,
or who would have so tally answered the demands
of the public. The maims is shortly u follows:

There is to be a standard test of examination for I
all officers on entering dm army. Every man who
aspires to hold her Majosty's Commimion most prove
that he has received the whmation of a gentleman.
We must say we quits mow with the opinion of the
House that to ems the whole Commission of the
army to empathise would be a great mistake.
There are Isalitie—physical and emistitadosal—
whisk it is almost impamible to test by say exami-
nees I ma 4 a• Amen by applying a mere examiner
