WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1857.

SHE DAY'S NEWS.

The Select Vestry held their fortnightly meeting
yesterday, at which, we regret to say, a very
foolish resolution was carried. Ten of the boys in
in tile 9it li-'gi:ne.nt of Foot. Tee relatives of
seven of dress; buys objected, they being so young
—four of them are fourteen, and three of them
thirteen years of ago. In consequence of this, the
Industrial Schools Committee :ecommanded, that.
atter the expiration of three minths, the relatives
of the boys should support them, or find them
some employment. In other words, if these mere
children did not enlist and become food for
powder," they are to be turned out of the schools.
There may patriotism in this, but there is a
great deal of absurdity ;.and we cannot for the life
of us think how Rector Ctnipbell could possibly
vote for such an unhuman resolution. We are
sorry to add that the recommendation of the
committee was carried, there being cnly three
disenting voices. A letter was received from the
Poor Law Board, veep luting the surcharge of some
£3O upon 2fr. Shaw, by the auditor, Mr. Rees.
The Board are of opinion, that Mr. Rees's,_bj=.;ction
to the amount would not s:and good in law, and
therefore reverse his decision.

We have already published the petition of the
inhabitants of Calcutta to the Home Legislature.
As there is not much stirring just now, it has com-
manded a great deal of attention, an-: its sentiments
are in general actpties[!ed in.. The Linden Press
are loudly calling out for the suspension, dismissal,
or recal of Lord Canning. The absolute and
proved incapacity of the Indian Govarnment to deal
with these emergencies, to guard against which
they are entrusted won extraordinary power, is
a sufficient cause for su 'II a proceeding. Here is
a government .which retoises all that has ever been
imagined of Russian despotism. There is no check
or control over the governing power eithsr in India
or in England. We need not resort to any laboured
argument in Proof of that; we have it in full ram-
pant exercise before our eyes. when, by one stroke
of the Givernor-Generai's pen, the whole liberties
of the 'wilfl press are swept away. It is true the
Itegislative Council concut red with him, but their
dissent would hay.o made no difference, for the
Council is powerless to control. There is no such
thing as public opinion ; for the great bulk of the
English in India are Government servants, whose
fortunes depend upon the good will of the (*over-
nor. '.Here then," says a London cotemporary
" we have the beau ideal of despotism; and we natu-
rally expect to find in it the good qualities which
the championsof despotism claim for their favourite
system—decision in counsel, freedom from routine
in plan, promptitude and vigour in action. It is
for these 'purposes that Engliahnien tolerate a
system so utterly foreign to their habits in every
other department of their empire. Well, the
crisis for which such a government was tolerated
has come ; and how has it fulfilled i(s promises?
Has there been vigour, decision, promptitule 1)•
On the contrary, have we not seen the Governthent
throttled at every step it took by bands of red
tape ? Has it not been wavering in council,
dilatory in action, hunting for pecedents at a time
when all precedents had become useless, when the
ordinary landmarks had disappeared in the general
deluge? The system has broken down in the
first severe strain to which it was subjected. It
has been condemned by those nearest the scene of
action who are most familiar with its working and
most interested in its succe.42. The only plea by
which its existence was tolerated has broken
dowr, and it now stands self-condemned.
The Times, however, is in favour of the
despotism of Lord Canning:—" The truth is, that
we hold India by military possession. The Go-
vernor General's Council, is a permanent council of
war, in which are discussed, or ought to be dis•
cussed, the strength of defensive positions, pos-
sible dangers, the temper, and strength of
njghbours, allies, and dependents; the possible
designs of traitors and fees, and the policy of the
Gov, rnment ifaelf, under these circumstances.
Will any reasonable baing say that these are matters
for open discussion in presence of the vast Indian
population. and a thousand intriguing pretenders !
Will anybody say that the delicate questions
-which have led to this mutiny, would have received
