TUESDAY, AUGUSI' 4, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS.

The sta' e of affairs in India continue to ab.:trl;
the attention of the political world. The o-.A
has Delhi been taken? was it 4 :everybody's mouth
estion,

on Saturday and Sunday. We have seen two
letters received by a mercantile firm in Liverpool'

and dated respectively, Bombay, June 26th and
27th, in which the writer says, that commercial
affairs there were more satisfactory, consequent
upon
.the fall of Delhi. These letters take the fall
of Delhi as a matter of fact. Several firms of
the highest standing in London have also received
letters from respectable correspondents in various
parts of India, who concur in the allegation that
the place had fallen. We can state, moreover,
that a letter from a Government authority, dated
Agra, the 17th June, has been received in London,
to the effect that the town of Delhi had been
captured with a heavy loss to the mutineers, and
a comparatively limited number of casualities on
our side, ; but that the fortress still held out. The
troops who were mainly instrumental in carrying
the place were, says the letter, those from Um-
ballah and Meerut. Of the authenticity of this
communication there can be no question ; yet there
is too much reason to apprehend that the
writer, despite his official position, was misin-
formed. Agra is, we believe, 140 or 150 miles
from Delhi, and the Bombay journals aver posi-
tively that on the morning of the day men-
tioned (viz., the 17th June) General Barnard was
still waiting for reinforcements. It is also feared
that the other respectable correspondents whose
letters announce the capture of the city have been
deceived by a rumour which seems to have spread
over nearly the whole of India, and the accuracy of
which at the latest date was disbelieved. It is un-
derstood that the British government and the India
authorities here concur in regarding the report in
question as premature—in short, an Indian version
of the taking of Sebastopol as announced to the
Emperor of the French at the Boulogne reviews.

There are serious rumours that the Persian
government do not intend to evacuate Herat. The
Homeward Mail remarks that it has reason to
believe the statement to be true, and that it arises
from the intelligence of our Indian troubles having
reached the Persian government. It is said that a
messenger has been despatched by Mr. Murray,
and has reached Trebizond, who will convey to our
government a distinct intimation that the terms of
the late treaty as regards Herat have no chance of
being fulfilled.
The state of affairs in India is rousing the go-
vernment to act in the most energetic manner. On
Friday the English and Foreign troops of the
Royal Artillery embarked at Woolwich for India.
Recruiting is to go on for the Artillery at once, and
it is said that twelve additional battalions of the
line are immediately to be raised. The East India
Company also intend to increase their force by
6,000 men. But this is not all. In the House of
Lords last night, Lord Panmure introduced a bill
for the calling out of the Militia this autumn, if
necessary, without consulting parliament. This
the noble lord said would probably be necessary,
as the drafts to India might be somewhat extensive
The Earls of Hardwick and Derby deprecated the
conduct of the government in so summarily dis-
banding the militia, but the bill introduced by Lord
Panmu re was read a first time. Lord Brougham
mov.id for a return, &e.. of the voters for members of
parliament in the United Kingdom. He took occa-
sion to deliver himself of a sort of political creed.
He was of opinion that skilled artisans, rectors,
curates, medical men, officers of the army and
navy-literary men, holders of university degrees,
men belonging to scientific bodies, and, in a word.
to the class generally known as the scientific,
literary, and well-educated class, should have a
vote, irrespective of any other right of voting-
possessed 13y them. He objects to the £lO
franchise proposed by Mr. Locke King. Ulti-
mately the return was ordered to be laid on the
table.

In the House of Commons, several unimportant
matters having been disposed of, Mr. Wilson, Sec-
retary of the Treasury, stated that he would lay on
the table the contract respecting the projected
scheme of rapid communication between London
and Dublin ; after which Lord John Russell
brought in his motion for the appointment of Et•
select committee respecting the validity of oaths
taken by members of that house, the immediate
object of which is to alter the oaths at present taken
by the members, so •as to allow gentlemen o!-
the Jewish persuasion, who have been elected
M P.'s, to take their seats without any trouble.
The noble lord, at some length, went into the
sivoject, tn. .v‘to of this
rather perplexing question, and referred to the
'Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, which have
the power of changing the oaths appointed to be
taken into a declaration. Sir F. Thesiger replied.
The words " on the true faith of a Christian" form
part of the oaths at present taken by members; and
could only be omitted by act of parliament. , Lord
Palmerston, without pledging himself to-any future
conduct on the subject, would support Lord John
Russell's motion, which, after some further dis-
cussion, was agreed to without a division. The
committee will be struck this day (Tuesday).
Mr. Bright has been privately invited to off-n-
-himself as a candidate for Birmingham, and is said
to have acquiesced, if there be a good chance of
his return. At present no opposition seems likely,
and a meting on Saturday was very enthusiastic
iu his favour.

The domestic or local news this morning is not
of much importance. A brute of a fellow was
yesterday committed for trial at Chester, on a
double charge of attempted murder and rape. He
will be tried at the present assizes, which opened
yesterday. The Judge's charge to the Grand
Jury will be found reported in our columns of

From the Continent this morning we have in
teresting news.

The late extraordinary proceedings at Constan-
tinople have come to a climax The French
Ambassador has suspended relations with the
Porte, and threatened to leave Constantinople. By
this step M. de Thouvenel has at once destroyed
Lord de Redcliffe's and Baron Prokesch's care-
fully established predominance at Constantinople ;
for we are informed that the Sultan, to pre-
vent the rupture with France, has suddenly
hastened to modify his Ministry, so as to deprive
Reschid Pacha of all influence in foreign affairs, in
which consists the import of the whole proceeding.
Mustapha Pasha (of Crete) is anointed Grand
Vizier • Aali Pasha, Minister of Foreign Affairs ;
Redsehid Pasha (ex Grand Vizier), President of
the Tanzimat ; Kiamil Pasha (of Jedda), Soraskier.
There can be no doubt that the question of the
Principalities has now entered upon a perfectly new
course.

We are in receipt of news from Naples to the
30th ult. The King had ordered the construction
of two submarine telegraphic lines, the one to con-
nect Sicily with Malta, and the other to connect it
with Tunis. By the former line when complete, a
considerable saving of time will be effected in the
receipt of news from the Levant and from India.
A royal decree has been published, having for its
object the reform of the postal establishment of the
kingdom, which is to be altogether re-modelled
on the French pattern. At Tsernia a local distur-
bance had taken place, caused by the question ot.
the municipal octroi duties. Two thousand pea-
sants invaded the town, and penetrated into the
Tow::-Ilall, shouting, " Long Live the King " The
authorities had succeeded in quelling the distur-
bance, and some arrests had been effected.
A letter from Genoa, of the 30th ult., informs us
that MPzzini's article, for the publication of which
the Italia de Popolo was seized, was headed " The
Situation." Mazzini, after having explained the part
taken by him and his followers during the late move-
ment in Italy, denies that he ever entertained any
idea of pillage or of blowing up the public build-
ings, The movement at Genoa was not directed
against the Piedmontese Government, but it IV tti3
hasciudes bs•
intended to take advantage of the means of action

possesses, and to bree the King of
,Piedmont into a revolutionary war. Mazzini con-

declaring that he will not stop until he
alone, his object.
The guard ~,,.` the Ducal Palace at Genoa was

tional soldiers. Nob iv could tell the cause, but
it was believed that th°`-eee ' -,recautions were adopted
