FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1837.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

We are in possession of the details by the
Calcutta mail. For three days after the departure
of the pr,:vious steamer, the Calcutta newspapers
were without news from the Upper Provinces, the
lYnap:ae and other mutineers having intercepted
communication, and one or two mails were said to
be burnt; but the dispersion of those scoundrels
had, however, partially restored communication.
The telegraph was in action as far as Cawnpore,
and a strong letter or newspaper occasionally reach
Calcutta. The dates from Delhi appear to be a
day or two later than the news which had reached
Bombay. On the 1-ith August it was believed in
the camp that the mutineers would in all probabi-
lity be soon dispersed. Tne Ilurkara of August
23rd expresses the confi lent belief that Delhi had
at that date already fallen. The Englishman. men-
tions as a report that General Outran had stopped
all the reinforcements in progress towards Cawn-
pore, with the intention of proceeding up the
Gogra or the Goomtee, and reaching Lueknow in
the opposite direction. The people of Calcutta
felt great anxiety for the fate of Lueknow, and the
press of that city was loudly calling out against
the supineneas of the Indian Government, who
had not issued a single warrant or threaten-
ing procl,tmation declaring that not merely all
who support the mutineers, but all who do not
actively assist the civil and military au liorities will
be dealt with as rebels ani traitors. `rat) promul-
gation of such an order would have had great
effect, as it was only where the mutineers had
had the support of men of rank and influence that
they had been able to do much mischief. If such

an order as alluded to above had been issued,
those men of rank and influence would have
, been very cautious in their conduct, and in
nine cases out of ten would have looked to the
ultimate results of the mutiny, and would have
given the rebels the cold shoulder. This is another
of the char; es against Lord Canning. It is time,
really, that he was recalled. The despatches from
General Havelock are rather important. On the
12th August he routed 4000 of the enemy who had
trenched themselves with six guns. The loss of
the rebels was 300 killed and wounded; that of the
British, ;15. This action had inspired the natives
with terror. The native accounts represent the
British as holding cut well, and the rebels making
no irril:ression. The intelligence from China is
rather unpleasant. All hope of an immediate
adjustment of the Canton question was at an
end for the present. The Chinese Government
had issued a notice announcing the intention
of laying on an additional export duty on
teas and silks in the Shanghae district. The

duty on opium had been doubled. Great alarm
had bean created at Singapore, in consequence of
a treasonable correspondence with the convicts.
These number 3,000 desperate characters from
British India. The Governor had granted per-
mission to them to go outside their lines on the
festival of the Mohurrurn. Fortunately there
were a number of Madras troops and about 100 of
the 113ya1 Engineers at Singapore. It is to be
hoped they could be relied upon. The Globe says
that some apprehensions were entertained that the
feast of Mohurrum would be the occasion for new
outbreaks against the B. itish, as it is the season of
Mussuiman excitement. The feast, however,
has passed off without any new perils. It never
happens, we 'believe, without bringing into -strong
relief some of those sectarian feuds between the
two great parties of the Mussulman faith, which
have divided themselves against ea•dh other r
and it invariably affords an opportunity on which
the Mahomedans do thingiaborninablo in theeyes of
the II indoc s. Since it has not actually occasi„ned

fresh dangers to British ruts, property or lire,
its influence is likely to be rather in our favour
than otherwise. Surveying the whole field of
Britiah India, therefore, instead of finding any
ground for diminished confileace in the state o
native feeling, our calculation is the very reverse

The Dock Committee held their monthly meet
ing yesterday. The subject of the erection o
another new battery was brought under the atten
Con of the Committee, and the several opinions
expressed were certainly far from complimentary
to the Governmhat

At the meeting of the Health Ccminittee, it was
stated that the deaths, last week, were above the
average of former years—even including the fatal
cases of cholera,

The monthly meeting of the Wallasey Board of
Commissioners was. held last evening, the
business was f a mere routine character, with the
exception of a motion that the committees should

be re-cast, which, after some discussion, was
carried by a rupinity.
Mr. Disraeli and Sir E. B. Lytton have delivered
speeches on the state of affiirs iii Indis. Eir

Edward spoke enthusiastically of what might be
accomplished by the military prowess of the youth

of and advocated the formation of

volunteer corps. Mr. Disraeli took a gloomy view
of the news brought by the list mail Both
orators were agreed that then: had been mis-
management somewhere, and that the Government
were to blame.

The ri venue accounts fur the quarter, which are
published to day, exhibit a falling off. There is a
:decrease in the Customs of not less than half a
million, and this. within a period of three
months In the Excise there is a deficiency of
A 150,000, and in the property tax of L 400,000.

altogether the quarter's falling off is less than
£ million, and may be easily accounted for
by the reductions made by the Parliament in some
of the taxes, by the poverty of large numbers of
the people, and by the check which has been placed
upon increased consumption by the embargo on the
further extension of free trade principles. In the
year's accounts there is also a total.decrea-se, to the
extent of £1.70,000 ; but some of the items, such
as those of the Post-office and Stamps, have gone
up.
We give particulars of a very shocking and if
suspicions should prove well founded, most un-
natural murder, at a place near Stockport. An
aged farmei• was shot dead in the middle of the
night in his bedroom, supposed at first by burglars
but on further investigation,l the eldest son was
taken into custody as the suspected murderer.
The news from abroad this morning is not of
much interest. Owing to European affairs, we
may remark that it would be a sign of a change in
the administrative system in the Papal States, if a
despatch from Eome, according to which the holy
father has accepted the resignation of Cardinal
Antonelli, should prove to be true Napoleon has
returned to h;s soldiers in the camp at Chalons,
but at the same time we hear of a rumour that he
contemplates visiting King Frederick William at
Berlin.

We are informed that the clipper transport ship
Lord Raglan belonging to Liverpool, has reached
B )mba y, with the left wing of the 33rd Regiment,
from the Mauritius. This was on August the 27th;
and. it thus beat the steamer Pottinger, which
carried the right wing, by two days.
The Paris Pays says that a formidable insurre
tion has broken out in Persia, but the particulars
have not been received.

The news by the Br;lzil Mail contains the
announcement of the death cf Mr. Sullivan, British
Consul at Lima, who had been murdered. The
public buildings were closed et his funeral, and we
regret to say that the assasin had not been
discovered.

The President of Chili has reported that Lord
Dundonald, as a rewar -1 for his services to Chili,
shall be made an Admiral in the Chilian navy, and
receive corresponding pay.
The West India Royal Mail Steamship Company
are very *unfortumce. They have now lost the
Tyne, being the eighth or ninth vessel since the
establizhment of the Company.

TILE Water Committee meet on Saturday, and
we most fervently hope that the meeting will in
reality be for " the despatch of business." As
we have already pronounced against all further
antagonism towards the Water Committee, on
conditions which we shall maintain inviolate,
we trust the Committee, on their part, will
afford us no reasonable grounds for changing
our determination. That they will at once
resolve no longer to trifle with the openly ex-
pressed wishes of' the people of Liverpool, or be
trifled with themselves. We believe we are not
at all wrong when we say that at last the whole
Committee are not only sick but utterly dis-
gusted at the conduct of those officials who had
insinuated themselves into their confidence, and=
who have so basely, so foully, abused it. This
is no season for honeyed words, nor shall we
employ them in denouncing the conduct of
those who have been guil'y of inflicting on the
town of Liverpool as infamous and iniquitous a
job as ever was perpetrated, and who now turn
round on their unforttinate dupes, and treat them
with scorn and contempt. Notwithstanding an
apparent hostility to the Water Committee, we
believe we sympathise more keenly with their
feelings, under existing circamstances, than any
of their hitherto most blatent friends. In fact,
so intense is our. indignation and abhorrence at
the cool brazen effrontery which has been
exhibited by those water charlatans, that we are
disposed altogether to forego the short comings
of the Committee.

What are the facts, as they now stand patent
to the world ? An acknowledged scarcity of
water existed in Liverpool, prior to 1845, more
especially as regarded fires. The whole town
was agitated on the subject. The culpable
apathy of at least one of the Water Companies—
the Bootle—and the misrepresentations of the
officials connected with the works, led to the all
but universal belief that the supply at their dis-
posal was utterly inadequate to the requirements
of the town. The water battle of 1845 and 1846
will yet be in the recollection of many. The
Highway Board of that day, importuned by a
large section of the community, resolved on con-
structing works of their own at Green-lane, and
employed Mr. Srmrsos as their engineer. Mr.
HAWKESLEY was at that time a petty manager of a
petty water establishment at Nottingham, a place
still notorious for its bad arrangements .with
regard to water supply, especially for the ex-
tinction of fires. This gentleman declared that
there existed no necessity for any such expendi-
ture as that proposed by the Highway Com-
missioners. That he had made an investigation
of the extent of the companies supplies, and
found that they were actually pumping more
water to waste through their escape valves than
would suffice for all that was required by the
Highway Board, aid leave ample to spare. And
hence the expenditure of the 60,0001 or 70,0001
was not necessary. And, no doubt, had the
Commissioners employed Mr. HAWKESLEY as their
engineer, hP would have verified in practice his
then views on the supply from the red sandstone,
and the chances are that we should have now
rejoiced in an ample supply of pure water from
the old wells of the companies, without the aid
of either Green-lane, much less the Pike. But
the Highway Board did not recognise in Mr.
RAwKEsLEY those transcendent merits which their
successors in office seemed all at once to discover,
and they prosecuted (fortunately for .Liverpool)
their works at Green-lane.

The Inhabitants of Liverpool, or what is the
same thing, some half dozen of those in power,
had become infecttd with
.HydrophcClia, and
the disease 'spread with uncommon rapidity.
It was the age of great jobs, .and the more
gigantic the swindle the more certain was it to
find public favour. A strong feeling existed
on the Water question. The modest common-
sense plan of the Highway Board was scouted
as a mere trill-, in fact, it was pronounced as
positve waste of Inoney. A strong prejudice
