THE DAY'S NEWS,

In our columns of this day we have supplied our
readers with.':ne expressed opinions of the leading
j,)urnalß. of London, Dublin, &c , on the financial
stat:onlnt of Sir G, C. Lewis. It will be seen that
the majority of the authorities quoted have some-
thing to say in favour of the budget of 1857.
Another policetnan, or rather an expolicemitn, has
got into trouble. At the Police Court, on Saturday,
klAWll.lll4Gnire,late iidlice officer 886,was committed
!or trial by Mr. Ald. Holme, on a charge of robbing
a "geiftleicitian harmed Matthews, or a gold watch and
ttniAktdages, on the fith of October last. Mr.
Matthews had been tipsy on that evening, and the
prisoner availe.A himself of the opportunity and
picked his. pocket of the timekeeper. Two cases of
-eml)^.."gzlement were before the magistrates on Satur
day. In one of these a remand was ordered, in the
others a discharge, as the bench considered that it
was a " partnership dispute," and refused to enter.

tain the charge.
The home news this morning is unusually
barren of interest. Mr. Hope Johnston has been
elected without opposition as the member for the,
eoritv of Dumfries. lt was originally intended, as the
public are aware to make MO county representa-
tion over to a second son of the Duke of Bue
eleugh, a young lad who sojourns on the Continent
for the benefit of his health ; bnt it was found that
some of the old adherents of the Duke had such a
decided leaning towards Mr. Johnstone, who
once represented the county for many years, that
the nomination of Lord Henry Scott was not per-
sisted in. Mr Johnstone made a speech
on the hustings, proving that on foreign
policy, he is likely to vote iu the same lobby with
with Mr. Gladstone and Mr Cobden. He rebuked
what he called our iutermeddling spirit; advocated
Et small standing army ; and supported the prin-
ciple of non intervention. Mr. Stewart Wortley,
the New Solicitor General, has been re-elected
member for Buteshire, but his speech does not
contain any items of interest
The meeting of the Great Western Railway,
held on Friday, was a scene of extraordinary
excitement and confusion. The discontented
Shareholders mustered in great strength, and after
animadverting in no measured terms upon the
management of the company, .a resoldtion amount-
ing :substantially to an expression of want of confi.
thrice in the directors was passed by a largo
majority.
The intelligence from Canton is anything but
satisfactory. Matters are getting worse and worse.
h appears that Admiral Seymour had been follow-
ing up his attack on Canton by showing red-hot
Bbilt into the city, and afterwards set about
strengthening his position. Some troops were
about being sent from India to reinforce him,
which would no doubt be very acceptable, for we
are told the feeling of exasperation against the
English was increasing among the Chinese, and
the people of Canton, especially, are represented
as furious. One part of the despatch received
from Trieste says that Yeh is degraded, and that
the Emperor wants to make peace, and to send a
commission to examine into the affair.
The news from Persia is important. The more
serious branch of our. attack, namely, the march
from the Northern Indus by Caboul, on Herat
seems to be in full execution. Our expedi•
tionary corps is stated to have arrived at
Caboul, and will now, in conjunction with the
troops of the Dost Mahorned, advance on
Herat. The distance, is, however, more than
four hundred miles. A reinforcement of 700
men from Bombay had arrived at Bushire. Mean
time the movements of the Russians become as
menacing as our own. The head quarters of the
Caucasus army have been advanced to Nakshivan,
on the Aras, in Russian Armenia, and not more
than one hundred miles from Tabriz. The con-
centration of Russian troops on the borders of the
Caspian is likewise progressing. It is therefore
probable we shall hear of fresh instructions from
the Shah to Ferouk Khan to arrange a peace.
The Continental news this morning may he
briefly summed up. The French Legislature is to he
opened to-day, and Count de Moray is to remain
som,! time longer at St. Petersburg. The Spanish
Government continues to triumph in municipal
elections. Reports from Naples are sinister and
gloomy. A report had been put in circulation that
the King had abdicated. This rumour was imme-
diately contradicted, and a number of persons,
who had been too forward in showing their joy at
the news, arrested. It was thought that the
affair was over, when, on the 11th inst., the police
recommenced making arrests, among the clerks in
some of the Ministerial offices. Great astonish-
ment was excited when it was heard that the
police had taken up one of the nephews of M.
Bionchini, a nephew of M. Pasqualoni, the
procureur-generai, and one of the sons of a
general devoted to the King. The Ducheanssd
of Parma has granted a sort of amnesty
the Russian Government publishes its ukase about
the projected railways. For these, not a fifth
of the capital has yet been subscribed, and the
appeal will now be made to the great European
• :changes.
'The Brazilian mail arrived at Southampton on
Saturday morning. The political uews brought by
the Avon is not of any importance. The yellow
fever prevailed to an alarming extent at Rio
-Janeiro and Pernatnbuto, Beunos Ayres was
