Between four and five,months, in all human
probability, must still elapse before the commence-
ment of the next Parliamentary session, before her
MAJESTY'S Ministers are again brought face to face
with her MAJESTY'S Opposition. Defeated and
dispirited though the leaders of the Opposition
were at th© close of the last session, both in the
Lords and in the Commons—but particularly in
the Commons—let the Cabinet of Lord DERBY rest
perfectly well assured that those chagrined and
discomfited leaders will begin the next session
hopefully and eagerly on the " look-out" for the
very first favourable opportunity. With them the
recess will really and actually have been a time of
leisure—a veritable long vacation in the fullest sig-
nificance of the words—a period of uninterrupted
repose, during which their energies will have been
revived, and their more sanguine anticipations re-
kindled. Meanwhile, as a thing quite inevitable,
Ministers will have been all this autumn and
• winter, or, at any rate, during a principal part of
it, fretted, worried, kept always more or less in a
feverish state of anxiety by the toils and cares in-
s.eparstbie from the office of administrators. A select
few may be will have intermittently enjoyed rare
and brief intervals of leisure—like that secured by
the Presideut of the Board of Trade through his
" run" upon the continent immediately after the
jprorogation But the majority of the Cabinet must
lii•y• necessity be kept hard at work throughout the
pightfipal part of the recess, each over the perpetu-
ally accumulating papers of his own particular
department. Solicitous in every way to acquit
himself to the very best of his power of his supremely
responsible duties as Prime Minister, the Earl
of DERBY, it will be remembered, took betimes
.a residence so conveniently near to London that it
ht almost be called suburban ; at any rate, so
Pes.ably contiguous to the seat of government
that it (involved no toilsome journeyings to and fro
between dusty, brick-built Downing-street and the
green country side. The FOREIGN SECRETARY might
Family have 6njoyed some momentary relaxation
by going to Cherbourg one while and immediately
afterwards by proceeding up the Rhine another—
but that all the while he was directly in the centre
of the vortex of the wearisome whirl of Court
etiquette. Having been involved in the same
maelstrom of pomps and ceremonies in Warwick-
shire, the HOME SECRETARY, after evading the
same giddy .country dance of loyalty and royalty
down at Leeds, is fated to relieve his chief of the

courtly task of participating in the tedium of regal
life at Balmoral. Meanwhile the COLONIAL
RETARY has, of all the thirteen Ministers of the
Crown, been the most sedulously occupied in keep-
ing the government of his sixty proeonsulates well
"in hand," besides bearing the additional strain
upon his energies consequent upon the self-made
necessity of organising ab iaitio the complicated ma-
chinery of his new colony of British Columbia
Notwithstanding the happy maintenance of perfect
European tranquillity, the SECRETARY for WAR
has had enough to do all ties while in noting from
afar off the closing of the Chinese struggle, and
watching the progress of Lord CL-yrre's erratic
endeavours to crush out the smouldering of the
Indian rebellion, in being constantly prepared for
any emergency nearer home by reason of the
fanaticism here and there along the coasts of the
Levant of various tribes of Mahometans—labe
riously inspecting at intervals all the while the
barracks and depots of the army, with a view to
their economic and sanitary reorganisation. The
recently sworn-in fifth Secretary of State, the
SECRETARY for INDIA, has had enough to do in the
earlier stage of his ministerial labourS—having'
with a view to their more successful end tho-

rough accomplishment, vacated his ternyorary
abode am President of the Board of Con"

trol, and afterwards as Commissioner

the affairs of Hindostan, at Cannon-row, to assum s'P
his place resolutely upon the vacant throne of JOAN
COMPA.NY, in Leadenhall-street, wielding from that
point, in the name of his SOVEREIGN, the sceptre
once held in the grasp, now of AURUNGZEBE, now
of TAM.ERLANE. The First Lord of the Admiralty,
on his 1 itrt, has been, according to the state of the ,

weather, kept more or less agreeably or annoyingly
upon shipboard, as a sailor-landsman, visiting ports,
harbours, dockyards, and breakwaters, upon the
old annual tour of inspection—with n episodical
excursion in the train of her MAJESTY and his
Royal Highness, during the visit pt id to her Im-
perial ally (France) by the Commons on board the
Pera, and to our Imperial ally (the Emperor of
FRANCE) by the QUEEN, on board the Victoria and
Albert. The Lord Chancellor has been enabled
(only, however, provokingly enough at the close of
of the hot season), to relieve himself of his ermined
robes and ambrosial wig, and to vacate his seat on
the woolsack—the mere name of which is produc-
tive of a sense of suffocation, at periods when the
mercury is at very high degrees of Fahrenheit. The
Chief Commissioner of Parks and Palaces has, we
may be quite sure, according to custom, received
from engineers and architects a variety of new
plans, ground plans, sectional plans, and so forth,
suggestive of nothing less than a perfect chaos of
improvements. While the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer has been worried, off and on, continually
(also according to custom) by reference to him
from one or other of the various administrative
departments—amusing himself as best he may over
the bank-notes and halves of bank-notes sent to
him by letters of the alphabet afflicted with tender
consciences. Such have been, or are among, the
doings of her MAJESTY'S Ministers during the long
vacation—the Lord Privy Seal having little or
nothing to tease himself with officially, and the
President of the Council, no Council over which to
preside. It is to be hoped, however, that one and
all of the members of the Cabinet will find time,
before the turn of the year, to prepare themselves
for the more serious work before them in the next
session of Parliament.

IN addition to the Indian intelligence which ap-
peared in THE SUN of Saturday, another telegram
was received at the India House at 7.30 p.m. on
Saturday, which will be found in another part of
our impression this day. It gives more fully the
information which we had previously published.
It is almost needless to say that it is of a very satis-
factory character. Indeed, the rebellion has been
so completely crushed, and the British supremacy
so thoroughly vindicated, that the insurgents
scarcely dare to resist an organised attack, however
great the numerical odds in their favour. Should
they venture to make a stand, they are invariably
defeated with terrible loss of life, and, what is even
more fatal to their hopes, of cannon and ammuni-
tion. Our officers and men have nobly maintained
the British honour under circumstances of extensive
difficulty. Every impediment was boldly encoun-
tered and successfully surmounted, every obstacle
sviept away by the conquering heroes. Meeting the
enemy in the field was• the least part of the danger.
It was the indefatigable activity, under a burning
sun and an adverse climate, with garments and
accoutrements little suited for the task, that occa-
sioned the chief loss. The authorities at
the Horse Guards were more formidable than
their Indian opponents. The English dress was
more fatal than the steel and lead of the mutineers.
On Saturday we stated that " Sir HOPE GRANT
had relieved Azimghur and occupied Fyzabad,
where he was joined by MAUN SING." It now
appears that he arrived at the latter town on the
29th July, " just in time to see the last boats of
the rebels crossing the river." No opposition was
attempted at Fyzabad, or anywhere along the route.
The terrible lessons of British prowess had not
been lost on the rebels, and they would not ven-
ture on a pitched battle, no matter how great the
object to be attained. The Rajah, MAUN SING, who
had so long temporised, and who, in the true " Vicar
of Bray" spirit, was anxious to co-operate with. the
winning side, had been latterly assailed by the
rebels, who distrusted the neutrality he professed.
It would not, of course, answer to permit even a
doubtful auxiliary to be victimised. The example
would be of vast consequence in Oude, where
there are many zemindars and chiefs of the MAUN
SING character, ready to join us if assured of ade-
quate protection and support, and unwilling, what-
ever may be their personal or private feelings, to
array themselves against what they are convinced
must eventually be the winning side.
The devoted endurance displayed by our soldiers—,
we speak not merely of bravery, where all were
brave, but the indefatigable exertion, the indomit-
able energy displayed, the rapid pursuit, which
taught the insurgents that there was no rest for
them—was of vast importance. It completed the
conquest, established and increased the prestige
acquired by these very men on the field of stricken
fight, or in the daring escalade on quasi im-
pregnable fortifications, gari4soned by ten times
the number of the assailants.
We cannot, perhaps, blame MAUN SING for
his tardy adhesion to our cause. He wished
to be assured not only that we would
ultimately triumph, but also that we would enable
him to sustain himself in his stronghold against
any force that the Begum, or Koon SING or his
adherents, could bring against him and his posses-
sions. There was no great heroism displayed, but
perhaps he acted as well as could reasonably be
expected, and he certainly did not wait for the ter-
mination of the contest to offer his friendly pro-
fessions. His refusal to join our opponents brought
their wrath on his head. He was seriously threat-
ened, and might have been placed in a very
unpleasant position, but for the promptitude and
energy displayed by Sir HOPE GRANT and his
brave associates. On the 30th July, the day after
the occupation of Fyzabad, he formally joined our
ranks withhis followers. 'After that the merchants
opened their shops and everything went on in accor-
dance with the brdinary routine during the piping
times of peace at Fyzabad. The fort of Bypore
was abandoned by its garrison on the approach of
Colonel BERKELEY'S column, and was being

destroyed.
A supplementary message gives very satisfactory
accounts of General ROBERTS'S progress. It had
been stated that he was moving so as to cover
Nnsseerabad and Ajmere. It is now reported
that he came up with the Gwalior rebels,
ten miles from " Nathwabya" (?), a palpable
mistake of name, probably intended for Nus-
seerabad, or some place in its vicinity, and
defeated them with heavy loss in killed, taking
also their four guns and four ammunition Waggons
—the British casualties being few.

A British steamer, the Burhampooter, had
been fired at from the Oude bank of the Ganges,
near Doondera, and at Kallikunkur. A party of
,military police under Captain DONNELY, however,
promptly avenged the insult, and taught the
rebels that such tricks were not to be ventured on
Nith impunity. The police, it is said, behaved
:remarkably well. Several of their number were
wounded, while thirty-one of the rebels were killed.
'This is the phase which the war (!) has now
assumed. It will be speedily little more than an
affair of police—having to encounter only fugitive
parties of brigands and bandits, capable of doing
much mischief, although not of effecting any act of
-political importance.
