mate of the Elizabeth upon ;poor Roderigo, and
the consequence was that he fell a prey to their
ill-usage, an 4 he died,his body being covered with
bruises to an awful extent. 'The investigation was
adjourned till Satuirday next. So far as present
appearances go, the case wears a most serious
aspect.

We will shortly be in possession of further
telegraphic despatches from India, bring-
ing a fortnight's later news, when we will, in
all =likelihood, he in possession of full details
concerning the taking of Delhi. As yet, the
Government have not published 'later news than
to the 18th of September, but private letters
continue to pour in upon us 'bearing later dates.
A -letter, just published, dated Delhi, the 23rd Sept.,
contains the following rather extraordinary
statement lam happy to say wo are not so
lenient as we were. Two of our native Sappers
were murdered in the city, se we went out and
hunted
.up about fifty or sixty men—thorough
rascals, and our men have been shooting them
ever since. I saw twenty-four knocked over, all tied
together against the walls.; and when you hear
those wretches, When they see they have no chance,
coolly tell you, Well, you may shoot me, if you
like; I killed three Europeans in the glorious
massacre,' you lose all horror at the sight; and
only wish they had oath' lives to take them all."
This is revenge with a vengeance : and we hope, for
the sake of British humanity, that the writer
somewhat exaggerates the facts.

We are glad to have it in our power to
announce that -the—gallant Ger erals Havelock
and Wilson have been made Baronets of
the United Kingdom, under the titles or Sir
Henry Havelock of Lucknow, and Sir Archdale
Wilson of Delhi. 'vVe need hardly adi that the
gallant generals richly deserve such distinction—
their conduct in such tryingcircumstances through
which they have passed, and, are no doubt sill
passing, show that the titles have been granted
to men who have earned them. We hope that this
is only the inauguration of a system of rewards to
be granted to the generals, officers, and men of
the Indian army.
The China and Australian mails arrived at
Alexandria on the 16th inst., but she brings no
intelligence of the least interest. The Australia
and United Kingdom, steam transports, had arr
rived at Galle with troops.

The heavy portion Of the Indian mails have
arrived at Southampton. A list of her p3.sseng.?rs
we give in another column.

' The news from the Continent is wholly taken up
with the question of the Principalities. The
advices from Constantinople confirm' the statement.
that Turkey is concentrating troops in Silistria,
and that the whole Mahornedan population is
unmistakeably arming and preparing for war. On
the other hand, the fermentation of the public
mind in the Danubian Principalities seems to have
arrived at a high pitch. The clergy from the pulpit
are calling on their flocks to be ready to die for
national unity and independence. The Divans are
engaged in drawing up a memorandum, to be com-
municated to the European Powers. In France it
is said that a new project respecting this question
is spoken of in connection wittiX. Fould's.journey
to London, although the ostensible purpose is
assigned to be the financial crisis. We may
add, that accounts from Spain assign
but small importance in extent to the Monte-
molinist conspiracy just discovered at Barcelonia,
and that the elections in Piedmont has ended in a
complete triumph of the ministerialist party.
Garabaldi has not been elected.

WILLIAM PITT, the greatest financier the
world has ever known, received the banking-
credit paper of England indiscriminately in pay-
ment of taxes and duties, and this great man's
political opponents followed his example when,
they installed themselves in office. Usury was
then held to be infinitely more dangerous, is a
national point of view, than gambling and
while the latter was looked upon with execration
by the moral classes of the* community, the
former was loathed and held in the utmost detes-
tation by the honest and far-seeing politician.
Our statute-book of those days ,is a perfect
homily, in which political purity gives a high
tone to the social morality of the age. There
were no paltry clique of Bullionists in those
times, to whom we could say :
To mhke thy markets, pawn thy word, thy oath,
Then to thy profits, sacrifice them both "
'Oar wholesome usury laws kept that much-
dreaded element—speculation—within bounds,
and they kept alive the warning voice of the
Legislature,
A modest five per cent, thou halt at ease,
To make it ten, thou must go combat the seas."

There is something peculiarly English in this
teaching of the Legislative mind, and it only
required that political forbearance and manly
self-reliance which are the predominant charac-
teristics of the present day, to make us, in the
in the sternest reality, the richest and most pros-
perous country in the world. There could be no
panics in these days if usurers were limited, as
they were even in the days of NEW.), to a "mod-
est five per cent." All prcfit above that belongs to
those ;who " make it ten," by combatting the
seas, and devoting their lives to daily toil.
Industry has sacrificed its artificial protection, in
order to give vitality, if possible, to our crude
and unnatural money laws. But the harder we
have to work, the greater the competition to
struggle against, and the larger the q iantity we
produce, the higher taxation rises, and the
dearer money becomes; and when these two
elements of cost have been added to that of
production, we are left to compete with the,
Germans, who use pewter for money, and all the
other States of Europe, who are allowed to work
upon credit, based upon the aggregate amount of
theiepast, as well as current, indebtedness.

All the States around us are increasing their
production, and selling in advancing markets;
but how do they pay those from whom they im-
port? What will Austria have for her foreign credi.
tors this year ? What have Spain and Portugal ?
These three countries are next to bankrupts, and
unless we secure the merchant a wider margin in
the money market for the adjustment of the
losses of trade, and can give native producers
the means of adding taxation to the price of
the commodith.,)s they have to sell, we must
return again to "protection," and cling to it
as long as it will last, It is an unnatural, and,
therefore, a dangerous expedient to resort to ;
but, by shutting out competition, we should en-
hance prices, and producers would regain some
of their losses by taxation ; and restricting trade
generally, would bring down the money demand
of trade to the supply of cash, which " an en.
tirely metallic currency" is incapable of securing
us, Without giving the Bullionist a pretext for _

asking 10 and 12 per cent. for the loan of his
eighteen pence of cash, in the Imperial pound,
which he is allowed to monopolise. The indus-
trial world may not be prepared for such a
revulsion as this, bat we must either retrace our
steps to the monetary policy of PITT, or go back
to the expedients for obtaining revenue, which
PEEL demolished to bolster up his currency impos-
tures. Limiting the price of gold, and then
calling it " money," and allowing those who
possess it, to ask what price they please for its
c se, is too glaring a departure from sound
commercial principles, to be attempted again
with safety.
If we are to have a free discount market give
us free gold. If the " chosen metal" be really
the least variable commodity in price, there can
be no danger whatever, in allowing the Mint to
give in coin, the market value of standard gold
on the day it is deposited. If this would not be
safe, take the average of the rates of exchange
all over the world on a given day, and let that be
the standard value of the ounce of gold for the
ensuing commercial year. But in the name of
mercantile decency, and political consistency, do
not fix a price on a commodity to limit its supply,
and then make it the basis of the large expansion
of trade the rapid growth of our population,
obviously requires. How such a vain folly
has stood so long is the wonder of every
man who has watched its workings. The com-
mercial classes are now, however, aroused to a
full sense of the danger in which it places them,
even when their business is of the healthiest
character, and they feel that their confidence has
been singularly abused by their political leaders.
The almost irreparable injury the Scotch Nation
has suffered by the bullion panic of 1857, will
be amply avenged by the determined opposition
the Scotch Peers, and members of the House of
Commons will offer to any proposal for the
renewal of a 10 per cent. banking rate of discount.
We are not so happily circumstanced. We have
not even as much as a party to look to for any
permanent relief from the evil consequences of
usury. These are the days of "compromise."
Yet, we despair of seeing . Lord .PALMERSTON'S
attacking the last remnant of genuine Whiggery.
Fixing on ten per cent. as a minimum rate of
relief to trade, gives us but a poor earnest
of the Premier's knowledge of the extent. of
the commercial distress of the country, and the
enlightened and recognised principles which, we
trust, will be promptly adopted to prevent its
speedy recurrence. - Lord JOHN RUSSELL is one
of our eight per cent. school, in the face of
desolatin,, famine. Mr. GLADSTONE is one of
our most learned and accomplished professors of
usury. We are indebted to that right honourable
gentleman for the repeal of the law, which
prevented a man's demanding ten or even six
per cent. for a " promise to pay" which was not
worth more, in cash, than eighteen-pence in the
pound. Now, What shall we say of the Earl of
DERBY ? Has the noble Earl been looking on
the current events for the last month, and studying
the remedies, which the spirit of his former rival
and friend, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, must have
been whispering in his ears, ever and anon, since it
passed from this busy scene of life ? Have the
teachings and example of that high-minded
English gentleman, whose legislative genius was
only equalled by his patriotism and loyalty, been
thrown away on Mr. Disraeli 's " side of the
House ?" Have we no man on the Tory side of
Parliament, dusty as it is, to weigh the facts
recorded by ALLISON against the Whig fallacies
and follies propounded by Mneautav ? The
mere fact of Parliament's meeting will not avert
the national bankruptcy wl*li is impending.
Men must go into both Houses determined to
rescue the country at once, by declaring gold free
of all restrictions in price, and making taxation
the basis of our national paper-money. If Mr.
GLAD.tTONE will do this, he may retain his free
discount market with all propriety. But we cannot
pass through another month such as the
last, unless we abandon all pretensions to
the rank of a commercial people. We
have yet to meet the recoil of the intelli-
gence recently despatched to America, and
this, added to the current news of the day from
the continent of Europe, will prove a melancholy
sequel to the history of our abused maritime and
industrial greatness.

THE BANK REFURNS.—If it ware not for the facts that
a large portion of the drain of bullion which has taken
place during the last fortnight, has b:en iWernal, and
not for foreign demand—that the exchanges are now all
favourabls to this niuntry, and such us are likely to lead to
an early return of much of the bullion that has already
bests shipped—:hat in Scotland and Ireland confidence
is so far restored that a considerable portion of the gold
sent thither may soon be restored to the bank, a considera-
b c amount havirg already arrived from Scotland since
these accounts were made up —and lastly, that cousiderable
arrivals from Australia are now taking piece, and that
others may soon be looked for—we should be disposed to
view the condition of the ba•A, with its re luced amount
of bullion, as being far from satisfa: ory, and as indicating
the necessity for some further rise in the rate of discount.
As it is, with thEss favourable prospects, it is to be hope.'
that the present insufficient reserve will, without any new
restriction, b' increase-I caosiderably by a return of gold)
and the subsidence of that state of anxiety and distrust
which have added not a litqa to the pressure caused by the
events of the last m inth.—Economist.

A NEW REF 401 BILL WANTED.—The New York
Tribune, speaking of Eng'ald, says : —lt is a carious fact
that the expense attendant nprn getting into Parliament is
m tlerially greater siace the ltlform tit-in it was in the old
days of the rotten boroughs. This is owing to the multi-
plication of vairs, which creates a larger amount of mar-
ketable commodities in that lin.), a 3 well as an increased
average of actual necessary expenses. No man can hope
for a return for an English borough, not to mentian a
county, who has not a long parse of his own, or a sufficient
bold ou the long purses of others, to make it an object to

them to untie them in his behalf. When Mr. George
Thompson ran General Fox out of the representation of
the Tower Hamlets in 1847, it was done by a subscription
of those who whiled to place him in Parliament. The
expenses of that election amounted to several thousand
pounds. The expenditures of Sir William Clay and Mr.
Ayrton, the present incumbents, are represented as having
been something incredible. Mr. R3upell, the member for
Lambeth, owns up to having expended £5,000 on his last
election there ; and Mr. Locke, the member for Sputhwark,
acknowledges the modest sum of £4,000 as his investment
in public life. It is believed, however, that those sums
very inadequately represent the amounts actually expended.
The honest expenses, such as the travelling espouses of
distant electors, are very serious, and are complicated to
any extent by the direct and indirect purchase of. votes.
All the attempts of the House of Commons to hinder this,
and all the examples which are made at the beginning of
every Parliament, have hitherto failed of success.

ST. GEOEC4E'S BALL.

LIVERPOOL GARRICK CLUB.

with the Prism's Park Working Men's Association. The
p-incinal vocalists were Mrs. Mergan, Miss Williams, Mr.
Reid, Mr. Denton, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Conway. Mr.
T. Webster, presided at the piano-forte. There was a
very good selection of music, the concert being in all
respects equal to many high priced entertainments, while
the rate of charge was of a character such as to meet the
object of the association, whose desire is to place innocent
and pleasing recreation within the reach of the working
man.

PEOPLE'S SATURDAY EVENING C3NCESTS,

These Concerts continue to give the highest satisfaction
to the frequenters of the Hall, and that of Saturday even-
ing last was certainly not the least successful of those at
present given. Mr. D. Miranda, a very excellent tenor,
who appeared several times last season, fully supported his
good name, and gave promise of greater excellence. His
singing of the " Fair Land of Poland" was very good,
and deserved the enthusiastic encore it received. Mr,
E. L. Rime's " I'm not myself at all" met with the reception
always accorded to this song when sung by a gentleman in
every way so able to render it in its true native gusto, and
in cempliance to the unanimous recall sang the
pretty ballad of " Black Eyes and Blue," in a
manner that won not only the hearts of the
fair sex, but really made their bright eyes
appear more beau iful than ever to us of sterner mould
But that which has ever made these Concerts pre-eminent
o'er all others, is the magnificent music performed by
Mr. W. T. Best, who, upon Saturday evening last'
inaugurated a scena of his own composition, descrip-
tive of the " Battle of Inkerman". To convey to the
mind of the reader the beauties and effect of this piece
woul I be impossible. From amid the most death-like
stillness there apparen tiy breaks forth at a distance the
booming of cannon—anon the clashing of arms—then the
more fierce and deadly struggle, wherein the "mighty
hosts" are contending inch by inch for mastery of that
ground where many a brave heart and manly form found
a grave—the sharp ring of the deadly rifle—the shrieks
and groans of the dying—and the fearful din of battle in
" all its glory" is pourtrayed in a manner only capable
upon the finest instrument in the world, and by a Best
Bat,bark ! the preliminaries for one grand coup is making,
and the National airs of the French, Sardinians,
Turks, brave old Highlanders, and clear notes
of the Eaglish bugle, as each regiment is brought up " in
battle array," the very gallop of the English c4valry, and
tramp of the " Flower of France," are conveyed, in
en overpowering manner, to the mind and fee;inge of the
listener. And, whoa the great cam Ix hex passed, the
battle fought and won, to hear the exciting j ;yous music
of each regiment as it sounds the glad tidings of victory—
" Partant pour la Syria," &e.—forms one of the most
iatetve and coal-enthralling pieces it has ever been our
good fortune to witness in St. George's Hall—incom-
parably the finest Hall in England—aed the ever-grand
air of " G al Save the Queen," as played by the combined
bands of the English army, formed a conclusion to this
magnificent production —and when, at last, the well-known
and dearly-loved tones of the litter sounded upon the
ears of the vast nuclience, they arose as in one bed:, form-
ing a coup de cell perhaps never before witnessed in that
Hall ; cerainly, we believe, on no occasion of People's
Concerts in any Hall in England.—The comfort of the
evening was gr,ativ enhanced by the admirable arrange-
ments of Mr. M'Kenzie, in the warming of the building.

HIRKDALIC WORK (NG I EN' S ASSOCIATION.

A concert also took place on S.tturday night, under the
auspices of the Kirkdale Working Men's Association.

This very admirable society give a private performance
at the Clayton Hall, t'tis evening, and from the kownn
abilitiy of many of its m'mbers, there can be no doabt of
an i..te:•e7stinz and pleasing evening being spent in their
campany. The at'endanee hitherto have invariably been
graceJ with a large assemblage of the fair sex,-who take a
lively interest in their proceedings, so that " wit, beauty,
and fast.ion" .are the presiding goddesses at these re-
unionP.

WOODSIDE AND MONK'S FERRIES.—FtOIII a 114ghly inte-
resting return just made out by Captain Reed, manager of
Worv'side Ferry, we learn that in the year ending April
24• h, 1857. the number of passengers carried by th'e Wood-
side and Monk's Ferry steamers was 7 037 9:43. The
number of trips each day were 236, making 36 140 trips
during the year, and the number of statute miles ran being
55,1'9 This is an inere tee on the years 1855 and 1856.
The Wo 'Aside boats run from 8 a.m., to 8 p.m., every ten
minutes ; from 8 to 10 every quarter hour ; from 10 p.m ,
to 1 a.m., every half hour ; from 1 to 4.30 a.m., every
hoar; and from 430 to 8 a.m., every quarter hour. Monk's
Ferry boats run according to trains. During dense fogs
tae Woodside boats are the only ferry it amers plying, and
on such occasions carry an average number of 23,000 pa.-
sengers per day. N) life was lost in 1857.
THE SUBMARINE TELEGII CPR 1.113 EL CASE.—Some
days ago we referred to a petition that lay for signature
at the news rooms, in reference to a commutation of the
senter C 3 on Mr. Evans. The promoters have been hi_hly
successful in getting ir•fl aential signatures to the petition
on behalf of Mr. Evans, in the libel case, yet the sub-
scriptions have fallen short of even paving the expenses
of the journey of the promoters from London. No doubt
the badness of the times has much to do with this, but still
it,sheuld be borne in mind that it is at such very times as
these that the sanctity of telegraph ccmmunicetion is of
the most importance. ft is certain that Mr. Evans has
rendered great service to the commercial community, and
he ought not to qe without some response from those
benefited. The expenses of his defence and of the
vigorous efforts now making in his behalf are very heavy,
and his wife is in no condition to pay them ; she has three
children to provide for. His warehouse is closed, and
everything belonging to him going to rack and ruin.
