THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1857,

ttlegrapit will Meg the Cabinet together on
a few hewn' satin. But this Indian insurrection
strikes at the very foandation of Italic!lnd unity saii,
greatneek It is not a theatrical entertaigpent that
we are sitting gazing at. It is thejleetibl
empire that is being weighed iu Qe bilance. fi
an affair which fur importanessafor lower, for e
and for vigour, has hid no parallel in the history sr
the world. It is not a subject which can be consi-
dered and dealt with in a few hours' deliberation
once a week or once a fortnight by the Government
us if it were a Railway Board. It requires
their whole souls, their whole minds, all their intel-
lect, all their capacity. And even were it otherwise—
If the direction of the affairs of India be in reality in
the hands of three or four members of the Cabinet—
even then, public decency, respect for the greatness
and danger of the occasion—a sense of self-respect
--saght to prevent London being deserted by the
Government just now.
It pleased his Royal Highness the PRINCE CON-
SORT to inform the public, during the Russian war,
t►at Parliamentary Government—" bone of our
boor, and flesh of our flesh "—was then on its trial.
Through the trial on which that distinguished per-
sonage placed oar Parliamentary system, it came,
we venture to remind all concerned, triumphantly.
If, indeed, there be one thing of which Englishmen
may be especially proud during the Russian war, it
was the superior sense of the honour and interests of
England which prevailed in Parliament. In that
respect, at least, Parliament shone brightly. It is
net Parliamentary, but Executive, Government which
is now on its trial. The Legislature has voluntarily
offered to the Crown all and every means within its
power to romans this Indian insurrection; it has
left the Government unfettered and tree to act u it
phases; and by this cow we it has proportionably
augmented the responsibility of the Cabinet. It is
notorious that this year a very large proportion of
members of either House of Parliament, who usually
visit the Continent, remain at home that they may
be ready to re-assemble should Parliament be sud-
denly summoned. With a week's notice two-thirds
of the llouse of Commons could be got together.

Under all these eircunuitanceijeonsidering the
gravity of our situation, we repeat that the public
have a right to expect that the Cabinet Nlioisters
will have the decency to forego their annual vaca-
tion, and remain at the seat of Government for the
next two months.

Ox the Ath of February, 1766, Lord DASSING-
TON, then Secretary at War, thus described the
wile of the Purchase System in the Army :—" The
" consequence often is that men who come into the
" Army with the warmest dispositions to the Der-
" vice, whose business becomes their pleasure, who
"distinguish themselves on every occasion that
" offers, are kept all their lives in the lowest rank
" because they are moor. These meritorious of
" have often the cruel mortification of seeing them-
" selves commanded by young men of opulent land-
" lit s who came much later into the service,and whose
" fortunes have enabled them to amuse themselves
" frequently elsewhere; while the others continually
" at quarters have done the duty of those gentlemen,
" and have learned their own." Thus, nearly a century
ago, the War Minister of the Crown tecognised the
evils of this purchase systi m, end protested against
it. It is strange that the same protest should need
to be renewed in 18.57, in words almost identical,
by Sir COLIN CAlirntLL:—" I have known many
" estimable men, having higher qualities as officer,
" than usual—men of real promise and merit, and
" well educated—but who could not purchase ; when
" such men were purchased over, their ardour cooled,
" and they frequently left the service." Take a
practical instance. There is a Major—a Brevet-
Major now in the British Army who has
been wounded twice under the command of
Sir Dr LACT lEVANs; who, according to that
General's opinion, is fit to command a regiment;
bat who has been passed over no lees than eighteen
times. The cue of that Major was brought before
Lord Hsartiwow and the present COMIANDER-IN-
Diller. It is said to be an extreme case. But most
assuredly no system can be tolerable which admits
even of ors mach extreme ease.

The system 6 thoroughly bad both in theory and
in practice. Indeed, the only argument in its
favour is, that It accelerates promotion, and that
no one has yet ►uggested any system to substitute for
it. Un!eve we are much mistaken, the advantage
claimed is imaginary, and the difficulty does not exist.
It is admitted that the age of the regimental officers
is less than those of the Artillery and Engi-
neers, and of foreign services. But it is to be ob-
served that the field officers—the Majors and the
Lientenant-Colouels, are by no means so efficient as
they ought to be. Indeed, so strongly is this felt
that six of the Commissioners have recommended
that lieutenant-Colonelcies should no longer be
bought and sold. Our officers of Engineers and
Artillery may be older men, but certainly the history
of the Crimean War and of the siege of Kars tends
to prove that, even with every disadvantage of age,
they upheld the scientific honour of the British
Army more effectually than any other corps.
Gallantry was common to all, but the Artillery
and Engineers showed that they understood the art
of war.

Youth is an excellent gift fora soldier, provided it
be conjoined with professional knowledge. But where
wealth is the essential condition of promotion, the man
wbo has nothing bat his sword for his portion will
most probably not enter the Army ; or if he does, he
will either be neglected, or leave the Army in dis-
gust. But then we are told, that even admitting all
the evils of purchase, no plan has yet been suggested
in its stead. It certainly does seem a little fool-
hardy to assert that this purchase system, however
anomalous in theory and baneful in practice, is
necessity. As at present practised, it is in
direct violation of an Act of Parliament,
actually printed in the last edition of the
" Qmen'a Orders and Regulations." Even in this
country it exists only in the British Cavalry and
Infantry--msd there only up to the rank of Lieutenant-
Colonel. It is not recognised in our Artillery, in our
Engineer,, in our Marines, or in our Navy—nor
is it recognised in any other country on the face of
the earth. It would be strange indeed if some plan
for entrance, promotion, and retirement could not be
devised for the officer, of the British Army, sup-
posing the system of purchase to be abolished.
Let us see whether it is impossible, with the aid
et those who have considered the subject, to devise
such a plan. A rule should be established that Com-
missions in the British Army shall only be obtained
by competition among nominated candidate*. The
Minister of War and the Commander•in-Chiefoaght
each to nominate two candidates for each vacant Com-
mission. The best of the four ought to receive this
Commission. The ages of the competitors ought to
be not less than 17 and not more than 20. Let it not
be supposed that we have any desire to convert our
ricers into a band of military readers. The
examination moat be fitted to ascertain the
physical as well as the mental qualities of the candi-
date. It is not the best scholar or the best writer
who ought to have the absolute preference. It nest
be ascertained that the candidate has a Miens
frame. Nor would it be diMmilt to give a very we-

siderable advantage in an examination to strength
and activity—to the best swimmer, the best boxer,
I,load the hest runnel) ;a this respect the examiner
d 1111 krested with ample dbmetion. The
ject of th4intellectual part at the examination
would aimpif be to aecortain that the candidate bad
received:be education of a gentler an, and is pos•
erased of average intelligence.
Having obtained has Commission, the young man
would enter a Military College. This College would
be supported by the fees exacted from the young
officers. As at St. Cyr, the Government would be at
no expense in supporting it. The education in this
establishment would be principally professiosia—
drill and the elements of fortification. But, of
course., the general education of the young officer
would not be neglected. We unmet that the exa•
miners for the Commission will ascertain that every
candidate has received a good general education.
The Military College education would be pro-
fusional, its object being to supply those deficiencies
of which General ScaaLerr, Lord West, and
Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, complained before the
Commission. The discipline of this institution
would be strictly military, and by this means the
young officer would acquire those military habits
and ideas which are so essential for a military career.
Having remained in College two years the young
officer would join a regiment. Thenceforth the pro-
motion would be, generally speaking, by seniority till
he attained the rank of Major: though, of course, for
any distinguished conduct in the field the Commander
ought to have the power of promotion, and the satin
power ought to be vested in the Commander-in-
Chief at home. Beyond Major we assume that the
recommendations of the six Commissioners will be
acted upon, and that Lieutenant-Colonels of regiments
will be appointed by selection. Assuredly it is im-
possible to read the arguments in favour of these
changes without yielding assent to them. From
the rank of Ensign, therefore, or Cornet, to that of
Major, promotion would, in the rule, be by seniority.
But we propose two modifications. The first is, that,
following the analogy of the navy, no Lieutenant shall
be allowed to become a Utptain unless he passes an
examination before a Milken. Board, which shall cer-
tify that he understands his profession. We know
very well with what puerile folly such examinations
are at present conducted ; but we must hope that
care will be taken to prevent any such sham
investigation for the future. At all events, it seems
the general opinion of military men that some ex-
amination should be held before an officer obtains
his company ; and it is certainly consistent with
common sense that this should be so. It has indeed
been asked, whether it is proposed to examine a man
of forty for his captaincy; but no difficulty need be felt
on that ground, because it will of course be provided
that any officer may demand to be examined for his
captaincy the moment he deems himself fit. The
other modification to which we alluded is that by
which officers shall be required to retire from the
service at specified ages. The only objection,
of say weight, against the abolition of pur-
e:liner, is that the army will become crowded
with superannuated Lieutenants aced Captains.
That most be met by fixing upon certain ages for
each rank, after which an officer shall not be allowed
to serve. These retired officers must, of course, be
provided with allowances. Sir C. TREVELVAN is
the only person who seems to have considered this
part of the question, and, according to his calcula-
tion, an annual sum of 210,8221. would be required
for the purpose. Large as this sum is, it is nearly
40,0001. less than the present amount of the half-pay
—which is, in fact, a retirement fund, constructed
on the most extravagant principles. According to
Sir CHARLFAI'II scheme the Major-General would be
compelled to retire at the age of fifty-five, a Captain
or Lieutenant at fifty, and so on for the other
ranks ; whilst each would be entitled to the full
pay of the rank which he held at the time of his re-
tirement. There can be little doubt that some com-
pulsory system of retirement ought to be enforced to
save us from that scandal which occuseed even under
the administration of the Doke of Waxemnrotr,
who actually appointed one Commander-in-Chief at
_ .

. ..
Bombay, so feeble in body that he could not mount
his horse.

Such is a rough outline of a plan for the appoint-
ment, promotion, and retirement of oficers in the
British army.

The Empreseon Saturday made an excursion bysea
on board the Pelican. This light steamer entered the
Bidassoa and came to an anchor off Fontarabia,
where her Majesty landed and visited the town in
the midst of enthusiastic acclamations from the
crowd, some of whom afterwards executed several
national dances in the public square. The Empress
on again embarking went to tffe opposite bank of
the Bidassoa and landed at Hcndaye, where she was
received by the cure, at the head of all his parish-
ioners. The Empress returned to the villa at a late
hour in the evening. The next day, pleasure trains
from Toulouse and Bordeaux conveyed about 3,000
visitors to Bayonne. The regatta took place on that
day, and was honoured by the presence of her
Majesty. Her Majesty also attended the bull-fight
in the afternoon, and remained during the whole of
the representation. In the evening there was a
reception at the villa, the company being very nu-
merous, and the entertainments kept up to a late
hour.

The Council-General of the department of the

A number of foreign officers have been authorized
by the Emperor, at their request, to assist at the
manoeuvres of the Camp of Chalons.

PARIS, TOESDAT Evwxo.

I understand that the Emperor left the Chalons
camp this morning—it is not said for what destine-
tion—aud that he is not expected back till Saturday.
Of course the presumption is that he is gone to Ger-
many to sea the Emperor of Russia. This interview
must necessarily be regarded with intense interest
at the present time, and the more so because Louis
Napoleon has recently shown by his conduct at
Osborne that it is part of his policy to show the
world great results proceeding directly from royal
meetings.
The official inauguration of the camp will not take
place till Sunday next. The Bishop of allow
will officiate.

It is reported that the Emperor intends to make
experiments in the camp of a new system of mili-
tary manoeuvres, by means of which the three arms,
infantry, cavalry, and artillery, will all act together
in obedience to one and the same word of command.
A committee of general officers has made a report
to the Emperor concerning this system, which, it is
said, will greatly modify the theory of evolutions
in line, and simplify movements on a grand scale.
Besides the entire imperial guard which is already
at Chilons,it is thought that a division of cavalry
and two or three divisions of infantry will be
brought there before the end of the year.
The settlement in the Rente went off heavily,
although there were but very few transactions to be

The Bishop of Melbourne gives the following de-
scription of Victoria Colony in a letter to his brother,
dated Bi►hopscourt, Melbourne, May 27 :

The proves; which ban been made during the last twelve
months in all the oomforts of life has quite answered my
previous expectations. Large and substantial dwelling-
houses lave been built, and-good shops of every kind have
been multiplied. Clow and open carriages, with handsome
and well. groomed hones, both private and for hire, are nu.
numerous; nagneosches (American built), with four or
Isix (') hors., run to all our goldfields; and innumerable
omnibumee and smaller vehicles ply between the different
parts of Melbourne and its suburbs. A railway is opened
to St. Kilda, and that from Geelong to Melbourne is finished
ea tar as Williamstown, and wril be in use e irbin a week
or two. There is also a rontinsslly increasing number of
intelligent members of thelegal and other professions. At the
mean time there to a van amount of vice and profligacy both
in Melbourne and in the country, and I fear that the influx
of Chinese has added another element of moral corruption
to thous which previously existed among us. We bays
various charitable institutions, such as hospitals, benevolent
&ilium', and orphan amybenrs, which are supported partly
by voluntary contributions and partly by grants from the
public revenue. We are just now endeavouring to establish
a refuge for fallen women, who will be maintained without
any assistance from the government. Some ladies also are
endeavouring to found a "home" for female servants and
others. The public library is an institution for the esta-
blishment sad success of which Melbourne is chiefly in-
debted to one of our oldest colonists, Mr. Justice Barry,
who has watched over it from the beginning, and will con.
tissue to do so with an unceasing assiduity. Then is a good
collection of useful books. The portion of the building
which is already erected is well fitted for its object, and
every evening it is filled with a large number of quiet
readers. All persons are admissible,lbut cleanliness fs strictly
enforced. Altogether the library is one of the most pleasing
feature* of Melbourne.

Theatre. and places of amusement hare of late greatly in-
creased. They are now upon a very large scale, end very nu.
nurourly attended. I fear that they tend to increase greatly
the vices of drunkenness and prostitution, and so to demoral-
ise the people. Cricketing prevail, in the proper season. I
have observed with pleasure in the coupe of an afternoon's
walk three or four games going on in different places. nor-
. ticolture is now can ird on to a considerable eaten, and
Victoria promises, as I always anticipated, to vie with any
of the neighbouring colonies in flowers and fruits ; the
profusion of the former and the abundance and air° of the
latter, when carefully cultivated, are such aa you can scarcely
°Deceive.

And now I think I have noticed every particular, and
more than every particular, on which you would expect me
to write, and att you know that I am not a ready penman,
and have betides but little time to bestow upon my friend. in
England, I shall be glad if you will let the other members of
our family and some of my friends no this letter, and ask
theta to oosamider it as addressed to them conjointly with
you. C. MILIOVINI.

MIDDLESEX BLECTION.-(THIS DAY)

This morning the nomination of a candidate to
supply the recency in the parlisnientaiy representation of
the county of kfiddlesea. occasion f by the elevation of Lord
Robert Grosvenor to the peerage, took place on hustings
erected in the Market-place, Brentford. The morning was
wet and cheerless, and there being no prospect of ► con-
test, the attendance of electors wan confined to the
few immediate friends and eupporiers of the only candidate
in the field, and these were not slow to get under cover of
the hustings. The public in front were represented by soma
half dozen navigators and labourers, and about the same
number, including the °Winds, occupied the centre of the
hustings. The public sheltered themselves in doorways at
some distances of 4 and when those who were interested in the
election were duly and formally summoned "to draw nigh
and give their attendance," two or three boys braved ine
merciless pelting of the rein, and advanced to the bather
provided by the sheriffs to prevent any crush upon the
hosting.. The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, Mesas,
liechi and Keats, attended by the Under-Shields, Messrs.
Crosley and Anderson, presided se returning officers ;
and punctually to the hour (ten o'clock) the customary
formalities were gone through, but twenty minutes elapsed
before the candidate and his proposers made their appearance.
They came in an open caniage, drawn by four greys. The
carriage was occupied by the lion. George Byng, his three
brothers, and hie proposer and seconder, Mr. Montgomery,
and Mr. Remington Mills. A four-in-land followed, loaded
inside and out. Mr. Robert iliu3bury, the other repro-
aentative of the county, arrived a .'tort time before, accom-
panied by his father. A few minutes ester the proceedings
had commenced the min fortunately held up, sad those
whom it bad previously kept at a distance were enabled to
approach the bastinge without the inconvenience of a revere
wetting.

Mr. MONTGONtRY proposed the lion. Mr. Byng, and is
doing so reminded the electors that he was the proposer of
Lord Robert Grosvenor at the last election. Re looked
beck upon that event with great sai;sfiction, because since
then the choice of the electors bad L :en confirmed by her
Majesty in elevating Lord Robert Grosvenor to the higbset
honour the sovereign could confer on her subjects. When
the present vacancy took place, it became the duty of au
party with whoa: he acted to select a successor for Lord Ro-
bert Grosvenor, and thecoaimercial community of the county
being already represented they hada° difficulty in selecting Mr.
By ng, of Wroth= Park, as the best representative they could
obtain of the property of the bounty. Mr. Byng wan the
descendant of a man who was a liberal at • time when it was
ceruliders4 odious to pokes such principles; he was more-
over himself a trod liberal, and had already shown
himself in parliament to be a man of parts sejl
steme. In the next session the great question of parlimarn-
tary reform would have to be discussed, and he had no doubt
Mr. Byng would fairly represent them, both on that and all
the other great questions of reform in church and state.

Mr. Rs; INGIOII MILLII eecunded the nomination of Mr.
Byng, and adverted to the hon. gentleman's rotes to
favour of the ballot, the repel of church rates, the admis-
sion of Jews into perliament, and other measure. of • liberal
character. At present there was every prospect that a
change in the government of India would be shortly
brought about; that change would place vast patronage
at the disposal of the ministers, and in old,
that a proper check should be kept upon its
exercise, parliamentary power should be placed in the
hands of all the intelligent portion of the community. Such
a measure Mr. Byng would support, and coming, as he did,
with an honourable prestige and hunourable professions, he
erase, recommended him to the choice of the electors.

There being no other candidate proposed, Mr. Shea
Marin declared the Hon. George Henry Charles Byng to be
duly elected a knight of the shire for the county of Mid-
dlesex.

The Hon. Mr. BTXO then pre 2nt himself to the head-
fal of people is front of the hustings, and addressing then
as " electors and non-electors of Middlesex," he said he ap-
peared before them with feelings of Ineutfelt pride; and he
trusted also with a not unbecoming humility ; with heart-felt
pride, because he was glad to find that the same name widths
ems libeled principles were se acceptable to the elector el
Middlesex in the year 18d7 as they were a century ago, when
his great grandfather first stood for the county. (Cheer.) He
appeared before them with feelings of humility, because he
felt that the varied internee of the coonty demanded
talent. higher and superior to any he could venture to
boast of, but at the same time being elected member for the
county he was not unconscious of the duties of the position,
and sa far ae his health and strength would permit
he finely dedicated hie time and such talents eel
abilities as he panned to the full and cat-
scientioas discharge of those duties. (Chews.) Than
were not the days of holiday legislation; there were
great and important subjects to be diecuseed In the next
session, subjects of the most vital interest both at home mid
abroad. The first topic which wren I attention abroad w
India. He could not trust himself to say what be felt
upon the lamentable occurrences which had happened
there; it was easy to find fault with those who were sup•
posed to have been able to prevent them, it might be pre-
sumptuous to say that precautions might have averted thin
calamities; but it should not be forgotten that England was
forewarned of the dangers to which she was exposed In
India and that she was not forearmed to meet them.
(Haar, hear.) When he and forearmed, he meant
that we had too much denuded India el European forms.
So much with regard to the peat ; as to the future, the ditty
of England waa to beck up the government in any prompt
measures to demand ample retribution, not vengeance, for
the horrors which we daily read of in the newspapers.
(Hear, bear.) To accomplish that, what should be dons?
In the first place, the best men that could In
found should be sent out. Ho would say to the minister,
nod them out Irrespective of party influences or axial pad-
don; and them out, became you believe they are the mat
best acquainted with India, the most likely to do their duty,
and having so sent them out, support them when
they are many thousands of miles away fighting
our battles, exposed to every danger stand by
them manfully as you would an absent friend. (Hew,
hear.) Then, if the country got disappointed

with the results of their early struggle*, the minister could
tell the people that they ware mistaken; only give them
time, he might plead, and they will do you jar
lice ; and the people, being convinced that the
men had been selected for their merits only,
would be content to welt patiently for the issue. (Hew,
hear.) That wee what ought to be done in the first place;
but there were other measures of equal importance to be
taken regarding India. It must no longer have its destinia
swayed by a divided government, and though the treader ci
power to the minister might place a large amount
of patronage in his hands, let it vet be remembered
that it could not be well abused, because every appointment
►e would make, every order he would send forth, weld be
open to the criticism and control of the people through the
legitimate means of their representatives in parliament.
(Hese, hear.) One great reason for the change would be
found in the fact, that fanaticism in India had a great deal to
do with the pawing events there. The misguided mobs
titan believed that we wished to subvert that religion which
bad been banded down to them from ceatury to century, and
thecondect of some of our officers was not 111-calculated to
encourage that erroneous notion, but while we diecountaance

mllitarypropagandism we should take care so to uphold the
authority of the officer as to prevent his being looked upon
by the native soldier se a mere puppet. It was to be ear
grettsd that his limited power. under the present system la
India had rather tended to produce that remit. Mors
bear.) Let our government of India be based upon jusidtor
and he believed she would soon become ■ mighty
adjunct of this mighty empire. (Cheers.) With respect
to continental affairs be thought our polity should be that d

non-intervention; except when the eon/fort of neighbour,'
such sa that of Ruasia before the recent war, called for ear
armed interference; but then we should be fins and deter-
mined in our purpose, not oscillating and uncertain, what
characterised our interference in the affair.. of Naples. While
acting upon the principle of non-interference we should
always be careful to tolerate no wrong. (Cheers.) Reverting
to home politica, he wished to see the principles of the
Reform Bill of 1832 extended, and though it would be ob.
"Musty unwise for him to give any pledge upon the subject,
he should be ready to support any well•digeated end cam.
prehmuive scheme of parliamentary reform, come Ban

vocate of the ballot, had supported the bill far

rate; but while he continued to struggle for the advance-
