LONDON, MONDAY, FEB. 15, 1353.

We have had large additions to our information
from India and China. Not only have two ad-
ditional telegrams been received—me by the
Foreign Office, the other at the India House—
but the Overland Mails have been received, with
copious details of the operations, of which we
had already obtained the leading features by
means of the magical wires, which have practically
annihilated time and distance. Nothing could be
more satisfactory than the tidings which have thus
been communicated. They show a steady pro-
gress on the part of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL and his
truly efficient coadjutors. There hag not been the
slightest mistake or failure. The British arms are
crowned with success in every quarter. The rebels
are receiving just punishment for their atrocious
treachery and sanguinary brutality, and the com-
plete restoration of British supremacy, and with
it peace and tranquillity, are reduced to a mere
question of time. In China, too, Canton, with
its million of inhabitants, was completely at our
mercy, and
we should shortly be in a position to
dictate to Commissioner Yau and his satellites the
conditions on which their perverse disregard of
engagements, confirmed by solemn treaties, could
alone be forgiven.

From India we have Bombay dates to the 23d
January. The last were from Calcutta to the 9th,
and Bombay the 13th. The events of ten addi,_
tional clays are therefore known, an important
period under existing circumstances, and it is,
indeed, gratifying to be enabled to announce that
all is going on as well as could reasonably be ex-
pected. That Sir CoLIN is not merely sustaining
but adding to his well-merited reputation, and
that all our troops are proving themselves worthy
companions of the lion-hearted men, who, under
the lamented HAVELOCK, achieved imperishable
laurels, and monuments more durable than brass.

be directed in Public attention will naturally
the first instance to the condition of the gallant
garrison in the Alumbagb, under Sir JAMES
OUTRAN. A comparatively small party are seated
in the midst of a hostile kingdom surrounded by
nearly twenty times their number. But happily
they are not distracted by any care for women and
children, or even new combatants. Four thou-
sand tried men, all of whom have passed
peatedly through fire, and who carry with

them the prestige of former victories gained over
ten-fold their numbers, and possessing ample pro.
visions, guns, and ammunition, all the materiel
of war, have but little to fear from any attempts
on the part of the rebels, however numerous and ,
reckless in their despairing rage. That many
assaults should be hazarded was to be anticipated,
and that they should be repulsed with serious loss
to the assailants might be regarded as
the probable result.
without surprise that welt is,ar of no less
than three onslaughts on the British
force at Alumbagh on the 22d of DC:I
the 12th and 16th of January, therefore,
Bear
ember, and
and iliat they
should be defeated on each occasion, sufferiD
heavily for their temerity both in men and guns.
The news is doubly cheering from the fact that
these triumphs have been accomplished with
scarcely a casualty on our side.
We already knew the proceedings of Sir COLIN
CAMPBELL Up to the 3d of January. He had
started from Cawnpore on the 24th December,
with 3,000 experienced veterans; had captured a
large quantity of treasure at Bithoor ; attacked
and defeated the insurgents on the 27th, on the
Khoree Nudee ; repelled a fierce attack of the
Insurgents, capturing all their guns, seven or
eight 'in number; and on the following day,
occupied Furnickabad, which bad been aban-
doned by the enemy after their decisive defeat.
He had also opened communication with the gal-
lant SEATON and his victorious column. Since
that time it is stated that on the 11th January
he occupied Futisoheim (I) the rebels leaving
their guns, baggage, and ammunition, behind
them." It would seem, however, as if there must
have been some mistake in the telegram, and it
is by no means improbable that it may be but
a different version of the capture of Furrucka-
bad, which bad been abandoned by the enemy on
the 3d, as previously set forth.

Troops were being pushed forward through
Scinde into the Punjaub. It was anticipated that
Sir Joiar LAWRENCE WOll4l receive some very im.
portant reinforcements—some 3,000 or 4,000
men. With the energy and promptitude for
which he is so eminently distinguished, he had
already provided horses to mount:the cavalry on
their arrival.

A strong column, under Brigadier ROBERTS,
was moving from Deesa into Rajpootana. The
first detachment, under M9jor Rams, had cap-
tured a rebel fortress near Mount Aboo, and after-
wards proceeded towards Nusseerabad. Sir HUGH
ROSE had reached Sehore, and expected to arrive
at Saugor on the 28th January, having disposed
of the Malwa mutineers, and executed 149 of
their ringleaders. He intended afterwards ad-
vancing to Jhansi. He was closely followed by
Sir R. Hamilton and a Madras column, which
was to be joined by Sir W. GRANT, who was
alvancing in the same direction.
At Nagpore, General WHITELOOK had cap-
tured and burnt, after an obstinate resistance,
the village of the rebel Thakoors of,.Rewa, on the
6th January. The Punjaub remained quiet, with
the exception of Kaudeish. The only doubtful
point is that relating to a conflict between a de-
tachment under Captain MONTGOMERY and a
party of the rebel BheelF4, near the frontiers of
the NIZAM'S territories. The result is reported
as indecisive, which we fear is but another name
for failure and defeat. The English leader and
three of his brother officers were severely wounded
—one of them since dead, and 50 rank and file
were placed hors de combat. This is, as we have
stated, the only drawback to the otherwise satis-
factory tidings.
The news from China only gives the details of
the att,ok c:3. Canton, of which we gave the
leading features on Wednesday. There about 900
Frenchmen engaged on our side, who greatly
distinguished themselves, and were worthy coad-
jutors of the English soldiers, sailors, and marines.
Canton lay at the mercy of the attacking forces.
The North Forts had been abandoned by the
enemy, and taken possession of by our troops.
Lin's Fort on the east was also captured, as well as
Gough Fort. The standards of England and France
floated proudly over the five-storey Pagoda. The
city was in fact commanded on every side and could
be laid in ruins at any moment with a a fearful
destruction of human life. It was in mercy to
the deluded population that the assailants refrained
from pushing their triumph to the full extent.
There can be no doubt that YEll is sufficiently
convinced of the absurdity of the course on which
he entered, and it may reasonably be anticipated
that he will, even at the eleventh hour, see the
necessity of swallowing his leek with due
humility, and of making adequate amends
for his obstinate resistance to just and
moderate demands. Should he not do so, or
should the EMPEROR refuse to yield to fell neces-
sity, our gallant sailors and soldiers will be pre-
pared to follow up zealously and efficiently the
efforts so auspiciously commenced, until the
Brother of the Sun, the Monarch of the flowery
land, shall think proper to make suitaLle over-
tures, and to defray all the expenses and losses
occasioned by the gross misconduct of his repre-
sentatives. As we have already stated, our
operations were not defeated or delayed by the
absence of the Hon. General ASHEURNBAM.
He was, at the time when the ;forces to the com-
mand of which he was nominated were fiercely
engaged, taking his ease in his club, or on his
way homewards, and there seems no reason to
doubt that at the time he was " the right man in
the right place." Sir M. SEYMOUR and General
STRAUBENZER were well able to get on without
him, nor was the confidence of the soldiers in any
degree impaired on account of his counsel and
assistance being wanting.

We gave the East India Company last Friday
the benefit of a summary of their own " memo:
randum," on their own good deeds. Should the
Company or rather that ghost of the old Company
which yet haunts Leadenhall-street, not survive
the PALMERSTON onslaught, it will not be because
it has forgotten to trumpet its own praises. The
directors first proclaimed in their notable petition
that their government was one of " the purest in
intention and of the most beneficent in act ever
known among mankind ! 1" Then followed their
" memorandum," showing by the argument
Englishmen love so well, the argument of facts,
that not only was the Company a model of purity
and beneficence, but that as all created goodness
may at least advance in its goodness, so thellonour-
able East India Company had been- an improving

sigh.
The prayer of all Europe was to be, make us
as the subjects of the East India ComPany." And,
little abating from these high pretensiolis, did the
Company's advocate rise up in the Rouse of
Commons. Singularly enough, however, the
honourable Member for Huntingdon did but insist
practically on the . in zolvent's plea--" time."

However " magnificent his peroration" in the
view even of such a critic as Mr. Mum, the
prayer of his speech was for time. Mr. R. D.
MANGLES himself, as became him, was somewhat
, more modest ; he tried to find a few bright pages
in the insolvent's political ledger, still he, too, could
only follow the leading counsel for the Company,
and ask for—time.
Now, of all pleas in governmental bankruptcy
this is about the worst. No Government which
could boldly justify the past would refer its justi-
fication to the future. It comes all the worse
from the East India Company, because we did
overhaul their books pretty well in 1853. We
have no chance of knowing much more about them
.and their management, especially possessing as we
do the light which the mutiny has flashed upon
us all ia the course of a few months. The history
of the Cowpany, and the principal features
of its administration, have become known to
more thousands of Englishmen since -last midsurar
mer than they were to hundreds previous to that
time. The knowledge may be neither extensive
nor accurate in details ; yet what with the discus-
sions of public meetings, the publication of a flood
of pamphlets, and the correspondence and com-
ments of the press, such information as the public
need is pretty fairly in its possession. The
nation at large, and even the House of Commons,
have nothing to do with minutia) ; the great fea-
tures of the case it seemingly fully recognises. These
are sufficient to guide its legislation, since it does
not want to legislate for pimples. Certain it is that
if such an opportunity for interesting the public
in India be now thrown away, the Leadenhall-
street sham may not be extinguished for many a
long year.

Mr. BARING may safely dismiss from his mind
all fears, if he has any beyond those of the special
pleader, about the apprehensions which will fill
natives' minds when they find for the first time
that the government is carried on directly in the
name of the QUEEN. The only apprehensions felt
will be those of any of the mutinous-minded that
they will have no further opportunity of rebelling,
looting treasuries, and murdering officers, women
and babes. They will "apprehend," indeed, that
a pretty large establishment of QUEEN'S troops
among them will be incompatible with a repeti-
tion of the doings of 1857. But the vast mass of
the population, intent upon their farms and their
merchandise, will undoubtedly hail the guarantee
for their security to their peaceful labours ; and
the native princes can hardly fail to prefer being
feudatories of one of the most powerful Sovereigns
on Eirth, to being the mere subordinates of a
great trading, or rather stock-holding company.

The company and its defenders must all feel
that their petition and memorandum cut but a
sorry figuro after one night's debate. What may
be done and said to place them in a better light
we can hardly imagine. They will hardly take to
themselves again the glory of conquering India,
whatever glory there may be in it, when it is
notorious that all was done in spite of their orders,
and a great part of it, only as a last expedient to
satisfy the everlasting demands of the directors
for money ; and another great part by the servants
of the Crown, but still in opposition to the wishes

of the company.
Perhaps there never was a more complete
exposure of a vainglorious puff than Sir G. C.
LEWIS'S historical refutation of the boasts of the
petition and the memorandum. Mr. MANGLES
winced under it, as well he might, and having
intended to reserve himself for a more formal
attack, actually ventured a historical impromptu,
but all to no purpose. The Chancellor of the
Exchequer was on hi 3 own ground, and fought
better than usual. Whatever our obligation to
retain India, and to govern it for its own benefit,
he remarked, truly enough, that it would not be
easy to show that we are great gainers by our
Indian empire. And, as to the nobleness and
public virtue of the great corporation, until they
came under the control of Parliament in 1784 by
Mr. PITT'S Act, nothing could be more sordid and
avaricious than their uniform policy. A moral
lecture to their servants, ending with a demand
for money, at all events, is the description of all
their most important communications. While they
were an uncontrolled commercial company, they
were certainly a model of one kind of purity and
beneficence—of the pure love of gain, and of bene-
ficence to the proprietors of East India Stock.
Indeed it is indisputable that when the Board
of Control was created to keep them some-
what politically decent, all England, and all
parties, and all speakers, concurred in regarding
the Company, in the language of Mr. Bunxes
resolutions, a " despotic and rapacious tyranny."

Ever since the establishment of the Board of
Control in 1784, and the successive curtailments
of the Company's monopolies and power, all the
improvements so pompously enumerated are due,
not to the Directors, but to the growing influence
of the Hom© Government and Parliament upon
Indian affairs. The increase of trade is wholly
and solely due to the abolition of their monopoly,
which abolition they resisted to the uttermost,
yet now take credit for its fruits ! So of the
abolition of cruel Indian usages, like the burning
of widows, and of disgracefully humiliating con-
tributions to the support of cruel and obscene
idolatries, this is entirely due to the determination
of the Crown servants in India and to discussions
at home. The Directors, poor souls, trembled
for their dividends, if widows were not
burnt into blessedness, and if Juggernaut's
Car were not gaudily ornamented with the
Company's upholstery as its wheels crushed the
heads of human sacrifices ! This is simple fact ;
and yet these Directors parade before as their
putting down such things as these, when their
perpetration of them had made England too hot for
the comfort of the Honourable Court !

The same may be said of all their improve-
ments, and of all their undertakings in the way
of roads, irrigation, railways, &c. The public at
home began to cry open shame upon them, when
its eyes every now and then turned to such a vast
empire at their absolute disposal, yet as little
blessed by the advantages of modern sciences and
skill as if the Directors had lived in the seven-
teenth instead of the nineteenth century. What
India has got from them is in fact but a miserable
instalment of what it ought to have had by this
time ; and for that little she may thank the Par-
liament and the public of England. We, at the
same time, acknowledge that the small increase
of Crown patronage is the distasteful part of the
new proposals. We do not see how it can be
avoided. We fear the patronisers of the CARDI-
GANS and PIIIPPSES ; but we do not believe that
it will be worse than that of Directors, the success
of whose canvass depends upon promises of In-
dian appointments. England must take security
against aristocratic patronage, by insisting on a
bona fade Reform Bill.

THE ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE
EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH.

ARREST OF A FRENCH REFUGEE.

Yesterday a M. Barnard, a French political refugee,
who is stated to have resided in this country for soma
years, sees arrested on a warrant procui ed ee tee iefeeence
of the Home-office, on a charge of being concerned with
Orsini and Pierri in the recent attempt made on the lives
of the Emperor and Empress of the French. The arrest
was effected at half-past 10 o'clock yesterday morning at
the lodgings of M. Barnard, No. 10, Park-street, Bays-
water, by Sergeant Williamson, a detective officer, and
police-constable Tinnaceof the D division, who had been
charged with the execution of the warrant. The latter
officer, a young man of Itelwin descent, was selected
for his skill as a lingui-t to aid in the arrest of the pri•
sorer, of whom he had been in search for some days past.
On making application to see M. Barnard at his lodgings
yesterday morning they were admitted to an interview
with him without any difficalty. They stated the object
of their errand, and 'finnaci produced and read to him
the warrant authorising his arrest. He treated the
matter in a good-natured way and offered no serious
resistance. Being somewhat en deshaUlle, however, he
asked permission to go upstairs to his bedroom for the
purpose of changing past of his dress; but the officers
expressed their regret that they could not, consistently
with the duty imposed upon them, allow him to do so ;
and, though he repeatedly urged them to comply
with his request, they still refused, and removed
htm from the house in the dress in which he stood.
On going afterwards to the room in which he had slept
on the previous night the officers found two revolver
pistols, loaded, and an instrument called a " knuckle
duster," a formidable article, supposed to be of Yankee
origin, and made of brass, which slips easily on to the
four fingers of a man's hand, and having a projecting
surface across the knuckles is oaloolated in a pugilistic
encounter to inflict serious injury on the person against
whom it is directed. In a subsequent conversation
which the prisoner had with hie captors he stated that
L
ad they been French instead of English officers he
would have shot them. M. Barnard was conveyed by
them in a cab direct to Scotland-yard, where he was
kept in close confinement during the whole of yesterday
and last night, and he is to undergo an examination be.
fore a magistrate at Bow-street this (Monday) morning.
It is unusual to confine a prisoner at the head-quarters
of the police in Scotland-yard, but the authorities there
deemed it desirable to depart from the custom in this
case. There is reason to believe that the circumstance
of the arrest was officially communicated to Lord Pal-
merston shortly after it was effected.
M. Barnard is about 45 or 50 years of age, and being
it is said an excellent linguist, he has for several years
past, like many other persons who have sought an asy-
lum in this country from political causes, employed
himself as a teacher of languages during his residence
here. In some quarters he is known by the sobriquet of
Barnard the Clubbist, from the leading part he took
among a knot of politicians of the ultrsellepublican
school who were wont to assemble at a house in
the Rue St. Honore, during the revolutionary
troubles which succeeded the abdication of Louis
Philippe. It is said to have been on this account that
he was obliged to leave the French capital daring the
military dictatorship of General Cavaignac, and since
then he has lived chiefly in England, but at one time
in Spain. When Orsini was in this country M. Bar-
nard was in the habit of accompanying him to the
various places at which he delivered lectures.

EXAMINATION' OF THE PRISONER AT
BOW-STREET THIS DAY.
Great excitement was occasioned this morning in the
neighbourhood of this police court by its being known
that a per-on had keen arrested on a charge of being
implicated in the late attempted assassination of the
Emperor and Empress of the French.
Toe passages leadiagto the court were densely crowded
by a large number 3f foreigners, in consequence of it
being expected that the prisoner would be placed at the
bar early in the morning, but such was not the case.
At 11 o'clock Mr. Montague Leverson, a solicitor on
behalf of tLe prisoner, applied to the magistrate to
ascertain at what hour Dr. Barnard would be placed
oefore him. Mr. Leverson said he had been to several
police stations during the morning, for the purpose of
having an interview with the prisoner, but had been un-
successful up to the present moment, all knowledge of
che arrest being denied at the places at wnich
he had made application. R. Feeling that there
was an attempt being made to mislead him, he had
made up his mind to apply to Sir R. Mayne, and be
therefore hoped his warship would, in the event of
Barnard being placed before him, delay the hearing of
of the case until he (Ar. Leverson) was present.
Mr. Jardine said he would not proceed with the case,
under the circumstances, during the absence of the
prisoner's solicitor.
Mr. Leverson then left the court.
At half-past one o'clock the prisoner, Simon Barnard,
was placed at the bar. In etature he is very tall, has
a long visage, with a profusion of hair. He appeared to
be about 59 years of age.
The prosecution sots conducted by Mr. Bodkin, on
the part of the Treasury ' • and Mr. Sleigh appeared for
the prisoner. Sir Richard Mayne and Mr. Greenwood,
solicitors to the Treasury, were also present.
Mr. Bodkin said he aepeared on the part of the Secre-
tary of State to prosecute the prisoner for the crime "of
conspiring to assassinate the Emperor of the French.
lie should prnduee evidene> of such a nature as to satisfy
pie worship that the prisoner was, without doubt, one
of the parties who conspired in London, and also that he
was the constant companion of Pierri and Orsini, now in
custody in France for the offence. He should re-
quire time to do this, but to-day he shoul I
prove that the prisoner, prior to the attempt in
January, transmitted a pair of pistols to a gentleman in
Paris, and he should also prove in evidence that one of
those pistols was afterwards found on Pierri, and the
other on Orsini. Of course many of the witnesses were
at present absent, and it would take time to complete
the case, but of the guilt of the prisoner he should leave
Flo doubt. There would be no difficulty, either in law
or in fact, with respect to the legality of the proceedings
against the prisoner.
The first witness called was Jules Francois Granger,
who said—l am an inspector of the French police. I

Mr. Thos. Sing, 40, -event-circus said--I am a clerk
in the employ of the South-Eastern Railway Company. I
am stationed at the Regent-circus office. I know the pri-
soner, and have done eo ear seven years. On the 2d of
January last he came to the company's office and brought
a packet, which appeared like a square Lox, but there
appeared to be something packed on the top. It was
covered with a rough covering. It was ad-
dressed "M. Outesiquin, 277, Rue St. Denis,
Paris." I had a conversation with him on that
occasion, in the course of which he told me
the contents of the I.
package. He said it contained two
revolvers, value 121., and some samples of pitch, which
were of no value. My reason for asking what the
contents were was a usual circumstance with respect
to foreign parcels. When I asked him to sign the
usual declaration, he replied in French—" I think I
bad better not do that ; my name is known in Fiance
as a prescript, and it might cause detention to the
package." I did not then insist .on the declaration, as
they are more usually confined to money packages, and
I then took his verbal dec!aration instead of the
written. The prisoner afterwards made some questions
about the departure of certain trains and packets, and I
gave him a list of the departures, and I waidet!ii Bernard
can you go back to France again, and he replied, "Oh,
no, I'll go back there when the other one comes back
here again," at the same time pointing his thumb over
his shoulder. I believe there was something mentioned
'about our ally, and when he said about going back to
France again, I said I hope that will be a long time
first ; and then addressing me in French, he
said, " Attendez done mon ami VOll3 verrez vientot"
There was tricoloured fl igs &leg near the office, and
he slid, alludiea to the flag, Votre bon aliie." The
ceriveisttion wholly alluded to the Emperor of the
French. I saw the papers after the attempt had been
Blade, and I afterwards went to the French Embassy
and detailed what had passed at the office.
By Mr. Sleigh—Yon knew the prisoner perfectly
Bell?

Witness—Yes, I have known him br the time I have
ment.ot ed.
Mr. Sleigh—Has not the prisoner often raid, during
the time you have known him, his intention to go back
to France when the Emperor cams back ?
Witness—Never. I have never talked to him on
political matters.
Frederick Williamson said—l am one of the detective
officers who took the prisoner into custody yesterday.
I apprehended him at 10, Bark-;.lace, Bayswater. I
found him the ground floor ' • he was c Ailing in from the
g ,r len. I intimated to him that I was a police
officer, and that I had a warrant for his ap.
prehension for conspiring, with others, to assassi.
nate the Emperor of the French. He said, " Will you
let me %alit into my room." I replied "No," rod

I then took him into the kitchen, and:read the T,Eitnnt
to him. He said, ." If I have committed a crime I
must answer for it." I then took him to the office in
Scotland-yard. When ho talked about 'going into a
racia, he meant his bed-room at the top of tho stairs. I
searched that room and found the revolver, which was not
I,,a4Pd. and an s!lGtriv-.,+. eal!,fl 2 "Ic.nt111:1;,--1.:11'?r."
There '-as ho pow,v:r-fia,k, but i,alis and cat, in, zhe
ease. As he was being conveyed to the station in a cab,
he asked why I would not allow him to go up stairs, and
whether I was frightened, and I said I had a right to
take precautions for my own sake as his also. He then
said, YOU had no right to be frightened—you are Eng-
lishmen—but if you had been Frenchmen, I would have
killed you. .

Mr. -Bodkin—That is all the evidence I propose to
offer ti—lay. lapply for a remand.

Mr aff.fre4ed the mai;lsirate, and contended
that during the whole evidence that bad been
offered to-6ay not one single tittle of evidence
bad been br llght forward to connect the prisoner with
Pierri and Orsini. Then again with respect to the
pistols that had been found on these two individuals,
nothing brought forward connected Dr. Bernard with
those pistols.

lilr.-Bodkin—l said I should not be able to complete
that part of the case to-day.
Mr. Sleigh— Very well, but I again assert that there
is not a tittle of evidence against the prisoner, and I
maintain that he had a right to bail.
Mr. Bodkin—l don't think my learned friend can be
serious in asking for bail for a person who has expressed
his intention of destroying ertain French officers.
Mr. Jardine refused to admit the prisoner to bail.
it was then arranged that the prisoner
