THE DAY'S NEWS.

' We have still further particulars of news from
India. A despatch from Marseilles yesterday
(Thursday) states that there was a panic at Cal-
cutta on the 14th June, but owing to the energetic
measures of the authorities, confidence had been
restored before the departure of the mail. The
English troops and inhabitants were act-
ing firmly. Part of the plot had been
to take Calcutta on the 23rd of May. It
was most complete in its arrangements when dis-
covered. Sir Patrick Grant had arrived at Cal-
cutta from Madras, and acting as Commander-in
Chief, but Sir Henry Somerset, in Bombay, really
held the supreme sommand of the Bengal army.
Fifty regiments had ceased to exist. The 70th
Native Infantry were thanked by the Governor for
their loyalty. The 6th Native Infantry, at
Allahabad, rivalled them in expressions of attach-
ment, but rose upon their officers and foully
murdered them at Ferozepore, on the 13:1. Mili.
tary executions had taken place. There were not
the slightest symptoms of disaffection in Madras
or Bombay. A mutiny of the Nizam's Cavalry, at
Aurungabad, had been at once pnt down by
General Woodham. On the 13th June another
sortie from Delhi was repulsed with great loss.
On the 16th, all was quiet ; 3,000 rebels were en
camped outside the Ameer Gate. Delhi was not
likely to fall till more troops arrived ; it was
defended by 30,000 mutineers.
In the House of Lords, last night, Lord
Brougham expressed his satisfaction at the conduct
of the people of Martinique, in repudiating the
scheme of the French Government respecting the
free negro system. The Earl of Ellenborough
wished to know why it was that the papers referring
to affairs in India, which had recently been laid
before the house, did not contain the proclamation
of the Governor-General of India of the 16th of
May following, declaring in strong terms the
determination of the Government to adhere to its
former practice of not interfering with the religio❑
of natives. The noble lord then enlightened the
house on the whole bearings of the case, and
expressed his dissatisfaction that such proclama-
tion had been so long delayed, seeing that it was
so necessary that the natives' mind should be disa-
bused of notions entertained by them respecting
this particular matter. He then alluded to the
cartridge question, and wound up by asking if such
a state of things would have been allowed
had the Marquis of Wellesley or Warren Hastings
been in India. Earl Granville on the part of the
Governmeut said, that there would be no objec-
tion to produce the proclamation. He at the same
i me defended the Governor-General against the
attacks of the Earl of Ellenborough, and said that
by paying the utmost attention to all that was

taking place in India, he (the Governor-General)
had risen ie the estimation of all Europeans in
India. The Duke of Argyle stated that there was
no grounds for the complaints respecting the
cartridges. Lord Canning on learning that the
native regiments objected to the use of greased
cartridges, he had given orders that the troops
should purchase their own, and therefore avoid
any unpleasantness.
The House of Commons had an early sitting
yesterday, during which the Police (Seotland) Bill
went through committee, several unimportant
amendments having been made. The Chancellor
of the Exchequer moved the second reading of the
New Zealand Loan Guarantee Bill. Sir J. Trelaw-
ney opposed. He insisted that the British public
should not be called upon to guarantee a loan of
£500,000 without some sufficient security. This
they had not. He accused the committee who had
been appointed to inquire into the subject as being
biassed before they inquired into the matter, as
the majority of them were in favour of colonial
interests. After some other remarks, he moved
that the bill be read a second time that day six
months. The debate on the subject occupied the
House until ten minutes to four, when, by the
rules of the House, it had to be adjourned. A mes
sage from her Majesty, thanking the House for its
address to her upon Indian affairs was read. At
the evening sitting Lord Palmerston announced
that, after so decided an expression being given by
the House on the Superanuation Amendment Bill,
the government thought it their duty to make no
further resistance to the proceeding of the bill.
Mr. Stafford explained, in answer to a question,
that the mails from India arrived at Trieste at nine
o'clock on Tuesday morning. A telegraphic
despatch was accordingly forwardrd to the Foreign-
offiee, but it did not reach until half-past twelve
on Wednesday. He could not explain the delay.
After Tuesday next government orders of the day
are to have precedence to any other business.
Another phase of modern xne.ioty has hoer
witnessed at Birmingham. Some Mormons or
Latter-day Saints, as they call themselves, have
been in the habit of meeting quietly in their own
chapel in Birmingham, to worship after their own
manner. An orthodox Christian preacher, who
evidently had more zeal than sense, has been
lately preaching a "crusade," as the Birmingham
journalist says, against these " saints," and his
hearers have consequenly deported themselves in
the true crusading style, tumultuously invading
the Mormon chapel, and violently interrupting the
service, mobbing the congregation, and wrecking
the building.

A formidable opposition is organising itself
against the Thames Conservancy Bill, which is
considered obnoxious by those having interests in
and on the river, and likely also to be very detri
metal to the public interest. A. meeting was held
yesterday on the subject, and resolutions to
oppose the bill were agreed to. What about the
Mersey Conservancy Bill ?
A deputation waited upon Lord Palmerston
yesterday, on the question of supplying raw cotton.
We are not in possession of his lordship's reply,
but wo presume that he would seriously promise
to do all iu his power to cause that pressing want
to be met.

Several interesting assize cases will be found
reported at the length their importance requires.
It will be seen that the Earl and Countess of Har-
rington, have been mulct in damages to the extent
of £750, for a series of libels on a clergyman, the
rector of the parish in which the defendants
resided.

The usual weekly meeting of the Dock Commit-
tee was held yesterday. A memorial from the
owners, shippers, and consignees of timber cargoes
arriving in Liverpcol was read. It set forth that
the accommodation for that trade was anything
but adequate, that even now there was upwards of
twenty vessels lying in the Mersey, timber laden,
unable to find room to discharge, and calling upon
the committee to look into the matter. A letter from
Messrs. Edward Higgins and Company respecting
the cranes belonging to the Dock Committee, was
read. These cranes are guaranteed to lift a certain
weight, but in two cases when they were used by
the Messrs. Higgins they had broken down, though
the weight of the material was much under that
which the cranes were registered to lift. Both
communications were referred to the Harbour-
Master's Committee. The Sub-Committee of the
Marine Department recommended that an ad-
electric telegraph between Liverpool and Holyhead,
including communication with the semaphore
stations, which it would be necessary to retain.
The recommendation was confirmed.

The health of the town is below the average.
The deaths last week were 238, being 12 more than
the average of the preceding nine years. Bowel
complaints are at present very prevalent.
Our French intelligence continues to insist upon
the extreme probability of something like a rupture
between the European Powers on the question
of the Principalities. It is thought that Louis
Napoleon will again call the Paris Conference
together. Perhaps in this very Conference we
have the nucleus of a high court of European
arbitration. The Emperor returned to Paris on
Wednesday afternoon from his rural retirement.
To show that he feared not assassination, he
drove through the streets in an open barouche,
unattended.
In Holland the small Ministerial crisis has
passed away. The three Ministers who had ten-
dered their resignations in consequence of differ-
enees arising out of the Education Bill, retain
their portfolios at the earnest request of the King,
who tried but failed to secure the services of any
other Statesmen.

The rest of the foreign news is unimportant.
In fact, the affairs of England, and the revolt
in India, principally occupy Continental poli-
tic ians.

IT has often seemed as if misfortunes and
losses came in heaps, and not singly. Now that
we have got a Chinese war and a formidable
Indian rebellion on our hands, the petty Greek
republic of the lonian Islands think it the fitting
time to give us a little annoyance. It is written
in ~ESOP—that veritable chronicler of the sayings
and doings of the lower animals—that when the
lion was supposed to be sick and dying, the
ass, for the first time, ventured to give him a sly
kick. When England is supposed to be weak or
embarrassed, then all the birds and beasts of ill
omen send up a note of mutual gratulation,
and gather themselves together in hope of
dividing the spoil. In this they may be reckon-
ing without their host. England has, indeed,
something upon her hands at present ; but she
has encountered far greater perils, and still came
off triumphant, and so will she now. The
decline and fall of England is at present a myth,
true only in the pages of Louis BLANC.
It is known to most of our readers that, ever
since the year 1815, seven of the lonian Islands
have been formed into an independent republic,
under the protectorate of England. The whole
population does not exceed about a quarter of a
million. We send them a High Commissioner,
and they choose a Parliament for themselves.
In this little spot—which would not be missed
from the map of the British Empire, were the
Mediterranean to swallow it up to-morrow—a
great fuss and display of rhodomontade were
made the other day in the Greek Parliament
against the Protectorate. A pretence was put
forward, that some party or parties, at present
unknown, had made the atrocious proposal that
