THE DAY'S NEWS.

The news this morning is very meagre indeed.
We are now in hottry expectation of telegraphic
despatches from India, and until they artive the
public will be in a state of suspense regarding the
condition of that part of the world. Let us hope
that the next ees's will be of a more re-assuring
character; but we are mush inclined to believe
that the contrary will be the case. The recent
additional telegraphic despatclees to the regular
advices we cannot place much faith in, and the
rumour that the garrison of Lucknow had made a
sortie upon the mutineers before the walls of that
city, we are afraid will tu.n out to be a fabrication.
Even should the report prove to be the fee,' the
gallant band cooped up in the fortress would for
some weeks have a most extensive and remorseless
enemy to contend with, and it is indeed melancholy
to even harbour the idea that they would be
compelled to succumb to the overpowering 'nun
bers cf rebels, but such we are afraid would be
the case, seeing that the quantity of provisions
was limited, and that the water had ht e't cut off.
However, these is yet hop ', and should General
Havelock have the good- fortune to arrive there in
time, the mlnions of Neca Sahib will assuredly ,
feel the vengeance of those British troops who
h'ave had their wives and families destroyed in the
manner in which we have been called upon to
record. Our impression of yesterday contained a
few particulars respecting the arrival of the steamer
Indus at Southampton. We are now in possession
of several a iditional items of news by this steamer.
It appears that all sorts of rumours were flying
about at Singapore, but it was not thought
that disturbances were probable. A public
meeting had been held to consider the
Press Licensing Act. Resolutions were adopted
to the effect that its extension to the settlement
was arbitrary and uncalled for by any:hing in its
present situation or circumstances. 'Co save time
it was resolved to petition both houses of Parlia-
ment, praying that the settlement be relieved from
the operation of the act. A -subscription has
been opened at Calcutta for the immediate
relief of our countrymen and countrywomen
arriving there from the interior in distress, some
with nothing hut rags on them. We also learn by
the Indus that the Dutch in Java are said to be
alarmed at the aspect of strait's in India, as it may
have an exciting effect on their population.
The Duke of Norfolk has replied to Lord St.
Leonard, who lead written to the metrooolitan
jetoLtooe, so...eves-dug upon a pas:orat :mac(' oy
Dr. Cullen, Catholic Archbishop of Dublin. Arch-
bishop Cullen roundly taxes the trus!ees of the
Patriotic Fund with sectarian dishonesty and
religious malversation. Ho says that while splendid
grants have been mole to Peotestant schools and
asylums, nothing has been conceded to insti:utions
such as he coul 1 theologically approve ; and he
more than insinuates that in the dispensation
of individual relief' a Eyatem was designedly
adopted calculated to repel the members of his
church, or to wound their sectarian susceptibilities
in the very act of receiving the d.)143-. We must spy
that if halt of these charges are true, it is infinitely
.discreditable, not only to those who might
have prevented such abuses, but to those who,
knowing them to exist, have neglected until now to
expose them. Lord St. Leonara's, as Chairman o
the Board of Distributior, is naturally much in,
censed at impecchment of his equity in that p trti
oular ; and he denies, as broadly as his most reve-
rend assailant asserts, that any unfairness was
designed or practised at the cost of the Catholic
families of those who fell in the Crimea. The Duke
of Norfolk immediately comes to the Archbishop's
rescue, and in a letter addressed to Lord
St. Leonards, says—" I cannot allow your Lordship
to continue in the belief that the arrangements of
the Patriotic Fund as they now stand, satisfy all
classes and every denomination of Christians. To
the Roman Catholics those arrangements are ex-
ceedingly unsatisfactory, and I shall feel much
obliged to your Lordship it you will, in the en
suing session of Parliament,move for returns upon
the subject, so as to lay before the public the
manner in which the large sums entrusted to the
Commissioners of the Patriotic Fund have been
dealt with, and thus to show how far Catholic
feelings have been respected in their distribution.
I feel it my duty to make this statement in ref, -
rence to your Lordship's letter, and to give it
publicity.

At an agricultural dinner at Al.Aidstonr, Captain
Vernon has given expression to opinions on the
Indian revolt. He said he had a right to doubt our
Indian poi which, after an exercise of a e,,ri
tury, revo'ted all races,from t'ie fiery Mahommeda ►
to the patient Hindoo ; a pclicy which took the
crown from the heads of monarchs, confiscated
kingdoms, brought down the landmarks of nations.
and gave no nationality in return."
The domestic news of the day is not of much
oonsequence. A groat storm has been raging on
the Kentish coast, and our despatches from
Brigh'on, Ramsgate, and Hastings give particulars
of several wrecks. We hope that we may have
received the worst tidings in connection with this
calamity.
We have already noticed that a brutal murder of
a woman lay her husband had occurred in London.
The husband has been sent for trial on the capital
charge,
Of local affairs we have little or nothing to notice
to-day. At the Coroner's Court, yesterday, the
Cause of ih^ dc.C.l2 of a sailer on board a ship, wns
under invc. • igation. The deceased had been in
irons from time to time, from ‘his leaving Bombay
until his arrival in Liverpool. He died from ex-
haustion ; but the doeor of fie Northern Hosuital
wils not so sue of this, arid 1:oni his evidence the
jury came to the conclusion that the deceased di..d
from the " viqitation of God."

We to day pullish the officiel account of the loss
of a P►ussian man-of,var, with some 800 hatid-3 on
board. The wreck is one of the most remlukable,
complete, and unforeseen calamities that ever o !-
enured The admiral of the fleet describes it as an
instantaneous and inexplicable loss accomplished
in a few minutes and before his very eyes and the
eyes of others who sailed in vessels belonging to
his squadron. Ho had been ordered to leave
Iltv,d for Cronsta-It with his ships, and the Lefort
was one of them They had neared a place called
Tuters, and the Vladimir with the commander was
immediately in the tack of the Lefort. It was
nizlit, and, without any warning, the Lefort sud
denly became engulfed in the waves, which were
tempestuOus. The ship went down within a few
minutes, before the Vladimir had time 'to tack
