THE DAY'S NEWS.

In•the iI3IISO of Lords last night, Earl Granville
denied --some of the statements made• by Lord
Derby ,on Friday night, respecting the stlzte of
afFairs •in India, and the Lord Chaucellor read a
message from. Hoc Majesty, recommending a
pension of £l,OOO a year to General li97elock.
some short discussion oce,urred, on it being
moved`. by the Earl of Ellenbrrough, that returns
respecting the press in India, should be
furnished to the House. -Lord Ellenborough,
while a4l.lnitting the trecessity of keeping a strict
watch upoa the Press of India, thought that the
act under which the recent censorship waa carried
out =was of a most injurious chAracter to the
people at large. After same remarks feora various
Peers, the motion was agreed to.
In the 1.101.139 of Commons, Lord Palmerston
stated that the treatment of the Engineers impri-
soned at Cagliari, had been rather severe, but now
there was nothing to be complained of. Lord
Palmerston, in answer to M. Connynghem, said—
all that could be now done in this matter was to
secure the accused a fair, .ope , and• speedy trial,
and the use of the best legal advice. The Bank
Issue Indemnity Bill, after some discussion,
passed a second reading.
A short despatch from India has just reached us.
It .is no:: of much importance, however. There
had been some severe fighting, and it is reported
that Sir George Outram had been severely
wounded. In the House of Commons, last night,
Lord Palmerstone stated that ho was of opinion
that this despatch, which was received by a private
source, and not by the regular mail, was merely a
reiteration of former news.

The report of the Cit3ster Assizes yesterday,
which we publish in another column, shows that
the person charged with therost-office robberies
at:Ehlienheadi had been convicted. Sentence was
deferred. The Bramhail murder case will come on
to .day-.

Yesterday, Aaron Miller was ;mind guilty of the
murder of his wife, Anh at Bolton. on the
Ist of October last. The condemned and the
deceased had been married for about five years ;
recently they began to quar::el, an.! the result was
that the woman went florae to her mother, and
left the prisoner. Some time after the latter went
to his wife and prevailed upon her to leave the
house with him, and aiterwarCs, in the open
street, he pulled out a knife and cut her throat.
The prisoner was sentenced to be-executed.
John Peokavance was found guilty, at the
Aszizes yesterday, of a garrotte,robbery in Elliot-
street, Liv,,rpool, and sentenced to five years'
penal .servitude.
The. Quarter Sessions were opened yestxday,
and in the course of his charge to the Grand Jury,
the Recorder staled that the maj'rity of the pri-
soners were women, " so that the degradation of
the sex In this town has reached such a pitch, that
the mejor part of one felons are Indy to be
women"

The ,Durial Board hell their weekly meeting
yesterday, at which several reports were read. We
would refer our readers to an ample report of the
prozeedi.ngs which we publish in another column.

- Mr. MilcierGi.bson has been delivering an era-
- tion at Ashton-under-Ly-ie, in which he states.his
views on India, Reform, and other questions, with
which .oar•readers are already in possession of.—

Mr. SE:rikant Slice, who sat on the Conservative
side of the,Hause of Commons when a member •of
Parliament, has issued an. address to the same
constituency, „which has very mush the appearance
of a Radical. manifesto He wants church rates to
be tr,ttie.4;the franehis.) to be extended, and even
5-voltld go for the ballot if there was a large exten-
sion of votes.- The representation of Thetforl has'
been rendered-,vacant by the retirement of the
Hon. F. Baring, and that gentleman's son, Mr. A.
Baring, has issued an'address of a very vague and
unmeaning character. The Baring fuguence is
said to be all-powerful in the borough.
The National Balance-sheet for the year 'ended
the 30;.11 oZ Septembzr last,--was issued yesterday.
The gross income wa5.471,1.78,602., and the expen-
diture was legs than,that amount by a sum of
£484.330. The army.and navy took upwards of,
£25,000,000; and the Persian expedition is set
down as havinvost_49oo4ooo.

Owing to a reduction in wages, occasioned by the
.prevailing dullness of trade, some thous,inds of
the colliers of thedistriet of Aberdare have entered
upon a strike. They •he.Ve passed resolutions
,declaring that they will not accept the reduced
.-wages ; that they will not anew the men employed
--to look after the pumping and ventilation under-
ground to do their work; and that they will
-clot pay the shopkeepers the accounts they now
owe them. Serious disturbances are apprehended.
Of Foreign news, there is nothing important
to-day. The lowering, en Saturday, of the discount
by the Bank of France-to six, seven, and eight per
cent.. respectively, for thirty, sixty, and ninety drys'
bills, i~ considered by a portion of the commercial
publicin Paris as ill-judged and premature. It is
trne that Franca has hitherto experienced less of
the evil effects of the preient pressure than other
of the European countries, whose comaiterce and
industry have acquired a higher degree of develop-
ment. We have, however, not yet seen the end of
it; and the pressure may return to France, the in:
dustry of which is of a nature to suffer more from
the secondary than from the prim iry effects of the
decrease of floating capital in Europe. There is
certainly no more .effective cure of the evil than to
maintain a high rate of interest for a considerable
period, as that encourages everybody to accumulate
capital.
The submarine Telegraph in the Mediterranean
Sea is now completed beteen Cagliari and Cerfu,
Malta being the intermediate station.
Correspondence from Vienna says that Austria
flatters itself that the Union of the Principalities
will not be accomplished.

WE regret as bitterly as any of our readers the
alarming nationd necessity which compels us to
