THE DAY'S NEWS:

Telegranhic despatches from India have been
received. They are, on the whole, of as favourable
a character as could be expected. Lucknow, how-
ever, was in a precarious condition, and Sir George
Outram had urgently applied for large supplies,
and reinforcements were to be organised in the
immediate vicinity. It is said that the garrison
could soon force their way out of Lucknow through
the rebels, but General Havelock will not expose,
women and children to further danger. There is
nothing additional from Delhi. We learn that Sir
J. Lawrence superintends the administration in the
Delhi territory. A commission had been issued
for the trial of the King of Delhi. Two more of
his sons had been captured, and were tried and
ordered for execu ion.
The despatches report the arrival of vessels, with
2,413 troops, at Ceylon ; three vessels, with 1,052
men, at Madras ; and four vessels, with 1,733
men, at Calcutta. H.M.S. Simeon and steam-ship
Mauritous Were at Ceylon to receive troops from
sailing vessels, and H.M. steamer Adventurer
had sailed. The Caledonian, on arriving at Cal-
cutta, was ordered to land at Mussulipatam. The
vessels arrived at Ceylon from England were the
Australia, Robert Lowe, Candia, Whirlwind, and
Suez. The arrivals at Madras were the United
Kingdom, Carthage, and Alnwiek Castle. The
arrivals .at Calcutta were the Thebes, Golden
Fleece, and Bucephalus. The-Golden Fleece left
England August 6, and the Bucephalus on July 1.
The dates of arrival are not given, but there is
evidently a difference of about six weeks in the
steamers' passage.
It is stated by one of cur London cotemporaries
that the Chairman of the East India Company will
propose to the Directors a grant of £5OO a-year to
the widow of General Neill, in addition to the
allowances due to the family- of an officer of his
rank who falls in action. Her Majesty has also
in the most gratifying terms signified her permis-
sion that the widow may assume the title of "Lady
Neill," which would have accrued to her if her hue-
band had been fortunately spared to enjoy the dig-
nity of a K C.B. We trust that the munificence of
the East India Company is but the prelude to a
national recognition of the services of tue deceased

General.
An important deputation hal an interview with
Lord Clarendon on Tuesday, with reference to the
slave trade carried on by the French, from the
West-Coast of Africa, under the pretext of free
emigration. ft is said that the interview with the
Secretary for Foreign Affaies was highly satisfac-
tory, and that his lordship, so far from disceun-
tenancing the object the deputation had in view,
went so.far as to vow that the French system
referred.to was slave trading in its most unmiti
gated and offensive form.
A very enthusiastic meeting was held in New-
castle-on-Tyne, on Monday night, to petition
Parliament to take immsdiate measures tor the
release of two English engineere, confined in a
Neapolitan dungeon. Henry Watt, one of the poor
fellows now experiencing the tender mercies of
the Neapolitan police, is a Newcastle man, one of
old Goorge Stephenson's locomotive builders, and
for many years in the employment of his son, Mr.
Robert Stephenson, M.P. The Mayor, Anthony
Nichol, Esq , who had called the meeting at the
request of a large bcdy of rate-payers, presided.
A number of influential gentlemen of the district
addressed the meeting, which was of a -mast
enthusiastic character, and several resolutions
were carried unanimously—one that a petition
Parliament be prepared, signed by the Mayor, on
behalf of ,the meeting, and entrusted to Earl Grey
for presentatien in ,the House of Lords, and to
Mr. Redley for presentation in the House of
Commons.

It will be rememberel that Archbishop Cullen
not long since accused the administrators of the
Patriotic Feud with neglecting the just claims of
Catholic widows and orphans. Lord St. Leolards
and Sir John Pa',.ington, an behalf of the Commis-
sioners of the ,Fund, denied this statement, and
asserted that .tile funds had been appropriated in
a perfectly just ,and impartial manner.. In a letter
just published, ,the Archbishop renews the charge,
and, in justification thereof, states several facts
'which came nailer his own observation.

We are sorry to:learn that the Boiler Explosion
at Huddersfield has proved more disastrous than
was at first suppesed. It has involved a loss of no
fewer than twelve lives.
The Directors of the late Eriti3h Bank are
not to be tried until .next Term.

Yesterday, a pcii2t of.considerablc importance to
the patrone of church .livings was decided by the
Court of Quen's Beach. The settled law is, that
where an incumbent •of a living in the gift of a
private patron is appointed to a Bishopric in the
United Kingdom, the 11Qxt presentation to the
vacant benefice belongs oof right to the Crown.
The question now decided was, whether, in the
case of the Bishopric being a Colonial one, the
same right was reserved to the Crown. The Court
decided that it was not, and that the right remained
in the private patron. The .question was between
the :Crown and Eton College, and arose out of the
Rev. Mr. Harpur being appointed to a Bishopric in
New:Zealand.

The continental advices this morning con'ain a
manifest just issued by the new Liberal Ministrg
in Belgium. It is a temperate and well reasoned
document, and very completely vindicates the
course taken by the Ministers against the attacks of
the ultramontane party. The policy of the new go-
vernmen.,, sage M. Rogier, is to be thoroughly na-
tional conservative and Fr )gressive; and it will
preserve the integrity of the rights of the
State, and the iozlependenee of the civil power,
white maintaining the separation between public
worship end the State, which separation, says the
manif,lsto, "i 3 one of the bases of our wise con -
stitution."

moats of the Austrian press alleging that Russia
is secretly arming, obst.,rvas that it is only on the
Austrian. frontier any i.inforcements have taken
place, or any works are carried on at the fortresses ;
and that that is the result of Austria's own conduct
in constructing a complete line of fortified points
along that frontier.
Considerable discontent prevails in Borne, in
consequence of the clnsing, by the Alltho-
