TUESDAY SEPTF3HIER 22, 1837.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

Th7e're is absolutely nothing stirring just now,
and the Indian news is therefore the only topic
which engages the attention of the public generally.
We have nothing to add to our already ample
details pu'elished in yesterday's paper, and our
readers are in possession of all the general facts
concerning the position of the Europeens in India
up to the date of our last adviees. The intelligence
is chequered with good and. evil ; on the one
hand we have the mittinen3 symetorns in Bombay,
the alarms of the, Mehurrana. the. terrible calamity
at Arrah, the outoleak at Dioapore, the extension
of the rebellion in Bengal, and the critical situa-
tion of the force before Delhi ; but, On the other,
General Havelock's second advance the pacifica-
tion of the Punjaub, pro's:tability of large
reinforcements being concentrated Pi the :North
West, and the arrival of fresh troops at Bombay
and Calcutta. balence the aeceunt, and Inspire
us, under all the circumstances, with confidence.
We are glad to perceive that the home government
is fully alive to the importance of General Have-
lock's movements, as we are informed that the
General Commanding-in-Chief has conferred a
good service pension of ..V.OO per annum upon
General Haveloek We sincerely hope that the
latter will persevere in his attacks upon the enemy,
and that in all engagements he willprove victorious,
for, apart from the fact that he is in opposition to
our enemies, he deserves great praise for having,
with his little Column, made what the Romans
called "great marches," d;feated ten thousand men
before breakfast, and fifteen thousand at noon, in
the blaze of a Bengal July, and scouring an tre-
healthy region, swarm'ng with well armed, fierce,
and blood-thirsty vagabonds. Respecting Delhi,
the Tintfs says that there are two qtmters from
which the British force before that city may receive

effectual succours—the Panjaub to the north west,
and Calcutta to the south west. "At the beginning
of the insurrection the Punjaub contained the bulk
of the European forces stationed in the Bengal
Presidency, and some of the best "corps of Irregu-
lars. Little time, in point of fact, was lost in
despatching assistance from these parts to the
camp at Delhi, but the province itself had, of
course, to be secured before much could be done
for the aid of others. These preliminary precau-
tions, however, have now been taken. Every Sepoy
battalion in the Purjaub had either been disarmed
or cut to pieces ; the Sikh population has furnished
new and trustworthy levies ; and what with the

European regiments thus disengaged,and the Sikh
troops enrolled, it is calculated that the reinforce-
ments on their way to Delhi from the north west
in the month last past would represent little less
than half the effective strengt'a of the Bengal
army as it remained after the defection of the
Sepoys. No such resources as these can be de-
spatched from Calcutta until the arrival of seecours
from England ; but it is gratifying to observe that
the interval is marker! .by most seasonable reliefs
from other quarters." The D lily Nezei severely sen-
cures the authorities for the length to which the
mutinies have gene. "It is useless to mince
matters," says this paper. " Things need never to
have been brought to this pass had the Home
Government and the Local Government in Bengal
shined with due precision and promptitude. We.
have now before us private letters from officers in
the armies of all the three Presidencies. Every
o'pe of them contains the remark—vari 'd, of course,
in expression—that matters need not have been so
bad if the Home Government had despatched a
few thousands of men overland when reinforce-
ments were first applied for. In confirmation of
this opinion, we may observe, that natives who at
fixst held aloof from the revolt, have been heard .to
tOcount for their subsequently joining it by allud-
ing to the nen-arrival of troops they hart expected
by the route of Suez." The Daily News is for the
immediate removal of the present Governor-
General of India. 4‘ Lord Canning's bigotry to
etiquette—more worthy of a dancing master than of
a .statesman—has given a fresh impetus to the
Mutiny ; and it may shake tho good faith
of neighbouring States. When Jung Bahadeor
heard of Loyd Canning's vacillation, he asked,
-Does the English Goveroment hope to retain
India with such a Governor-General?" This was
it) joke; but it is a truth that no Government
can expect allies to remain true to it after it has
ceased to be true to itself.
' Ministers are again out of town.' The Premier
is off to Broadlanda, arid the noble earl who is
'grit:posed to preside over the Foreign Department
has certainly left Balmoral, but only that he may
pay a round of visits to his frienls and acquain-
tances. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam-
bridge, who takes rank as Commander-in-Chief,
remains at Chalons in France, where a good many
manoeuvres of a diverting character are going on.
Apri thus we think the description which the
,Calcutta memorialists give of British officials
taking matters in the stme easy and comfortable
*Ay as under ordinary circumstances will apply to
:England as well as to Bengal.
f' Meetings in aid of the suffirers in India

continue to be held all over the country. At
;Exeter, on Friday, nearly £4OO was subscribed,
and at Warminster, on Saturday, upwards of £240.
The Irish capital, always forward in the cause of
',or suffering humanity, is making the necessary
preparations in aid of the good work begun in
England. A deputation waited on the Lord Mayor
*On' Friday, praying his lordship to convene a
public meeting to concert measures towards
dollecting subscriptions, an I Friday next Ilse been
:appointed for the purpose. Already the Lord-
Lieutenant has notified that he will head the list
with a donation of £lOO. This is a very princely
'enbaeription from one of the richest noblemen of
"'t'he land. He has £20,000 a-year, exclusive of his

own private income.
• There will be some trouble yet in B3lfalt.
laboured under the opinion that the Rev. Mr.
H Inns, who at first caused all the rioti by street
preaching, had determined to keep himself quiet,
and desist from his insane invectives against the
'Roman Catholic religion. No al, however On
Sunday, Mr. Hanna attempted to preach, but the
Mayor prevented him. Great excitement pre-
vailed, and all the constabulary were placed under
arms. Mr. Hanna asserts that he will have all
the Orangemen from the counties of Down and
„Antrim on bunaay next, and that he will preach in
defiance of the authorities. The excitement, we

a're told, has spread into the neighbouring towns.
