THE BISHOP OF CAULISTE ON THE INDIAN CRISIS.—Thc
Carlisle Examiner publishes a letter on this subject, which
the bishop has addressed to the clergy of his diocese.
His lordship, after urging the duty of offering up prayer
in the various churcl es in the diocese, concludes with
these remarks :—" When we think of the horrors and
cruelties which have accompanied this fearful mutiny,
and when we remember the numbers of the mu iueera,
and the time which must elapse before the reieforeetuents
can arrive, I am sure that you will feel that it is only to a
Gni of mercy, love, and Power, even to our God in Christ
Jesus, that we must look. Let us, then, in our public
worship according to the Church's form—let us in our.
social circle, and at our family altar, as well as in our
private devotions, give unto the Lord the glory due unto
His Name ; and I-..i that sitteth upon the fluud—a King
for ever—will give strength unto his people. The Lord
will bless His people with peace." (Psalm xxix ) The
Carlisle Exam:ner thus comments upon the document :
~ The Bishop of Carlisle seems as unconscious of wrong
or error in our government of India, as if the Board of
Control were a branch of the Foreign Office, and Bengal a
part of the family property. The letter to his clergy
contains two references to the Psalms, but not an atom of
the spirit of the New Testement. It takes for granted
that the Almighty is entirely upon our bide in this great
contest, and that we have nothing to do but implore His
aid, as in a time of national, undeserved trouble. There
is not a syllable of that confes;ion of national sin which
figures so gracefully in the compositionof our late
respected Dean—and not a hint at the necessity for that
I wisdom and energy which he of London prays for as the
best gift of heavenly mercy."

NAVIGATION OF THE DANUBE.

GALATZ, AUG. 9.

There is but little hope of real freedom of
navigation and commerce on the Danube, with-
out a new European Connference. The Turkish
and Austrian Commissioners, however, are of
opinion that neither the Treaty of Paris nor the
Commission can compel the States on the banks
of the river to execute works favourable to the
navigation of the river, unless they are indem-
nified for the outlay from the produce of the

said navigation.
Lord Palmerston, in the House of Lords, said
that a Conference has been agreed upon by the
Governments interested in the subj:ct.
