LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 6, 1858.

The India Bill has passed through Committee,
and the report will be brought up this evening.
It will be brought before the Upper House within
the present week. There will thus be ample
time for their Lordships to bestow the full
and complete consideration on the measure
which its vast importance so eminently
merits. The House of Commons greeted the
virtual conclusion of its labours with much cheer-
ing, and there is every reason to hope that its
i,ract:eal er:ctn-tertq may receive the Royal
assent, and that Noble Lords and .1-tight .I.l,:n.,ur-
able and Honourable Gentlemen may be per-
mitted to enjoy their holidays "by mountain
lake, or sea," even before the end of the present
month.

The idea of proceeding by resolution was pecu-
liarly felicitous, and, as we predicted, has saved
much time and trouble. The feelings and wishes
of the House were carefully ascertained. There
was no haphazard legislation—no proceeding
with muffled vision. The salient points were
carefully examined, and the course beat Calculated
to advance the interests both of England and of
India, eventually adopted. It is true that there
was some delay in the first instance, but the sub-
sequent progress made ample amenas therefor.
If it seemed to be slow to some impatient spirits,
it was, unquestionably, sure, and there seems to
be no reason to doubt that the bill, which caused
so much excitement, and on which the Palmer-
atonians fervently hoped to discover a means of
tripping up the Government, will be quietly
passed into law without disturbance of any, kind.
The factious opposition has, generally speaking,
been withdrawn. There are, however, parties
who still strive to excite the jealousy of the here.
ditary legislators, by hinting that they have been
slighted, in not receiving sufficient time for dis-
cussing the propositions. This is unmitigated
nonsense, the mere ebullition of spite, engendered
by the numerous and decisive defeats that the
party have received. They cannot now wound
or injure their opponents, but they can still rail
and grumble--can give vent to their irritation in
words, since they are unable to do so with more
formidable weapons. That their Lordships gene-
rally, or many of their number, will follow the
petulant suggestions, cannot for a moment be an-
ticipated. Although. justly jealous of their own
dignity and independence, there is nothing in
the present case to excite that jealousy. It was
required that the bill should be introduced on or
before the 15th July : it will be so nearly a week

earlier' Maw ratters of great importance, cal-

culated to occasion prolonged discuss ion, have
been brought forward at a later period of the
session auu bye', 'uud.lly carried ; nnd th ere is cer-
tainly no reason why the Government of India
Bill should not receive the indulgence w hich their
Lordships have invariably been willing to accord
to other measures.

It was yesterday our painful duty to an nounce
a temporary failure in laying down the .4 i.tlantic
Submarine Telegraph. That it is only rem porary,
we are convinced, but it may be neces ary to
remind those prophets of evil, who rejoice in the
calamity, that no truly great enterprise wErs ever
accomplished without casualties. Every p Tecau-
tion that could be suggested had been taken.
Nothing that could conduce to success had been
omitted. Still that there has been a failure,, and
that delay and expense will be occasioned thelcaby,
is undoubted. But that cannot lead to the alas n-
donment of the glorious undertaking. The Haut.-1E
had been twelve times defeated before his crown-
ing achievement at Bannockburn. He had bean a
fugitive with a:price set on his head, but he kn ew
the value of perseverance, and eventually tri-
umphed. Such unflinching perseverance, such
indefatigable energy, is indispensable in any great
undertaking, and the Directors are bound to dis-
play it if they desire to receive and merit the con-
fidence of their constituents.

Bat they must profit by the salutary, although
painful, lesson. They must look to the causes of
failure, and see whether they cannot be removed.
The separation of the cable into different vessels
greatly enhanced the difficulty and risk of the
undertaking. Even two ships, such as the Niagara
and Agamemnon, were scarcely adequate to the
gigantic task. They had not stowage-room either
for their proportion of the cable, or for the neces-
sary coals.

An admirable suggestion has been made by the
Times, which we gladly insert in our columns.
It suggests that the Leviathan, which could carry
the whole cable from land to land, with an ample
supply of coals, and any number of scientific per-
sons, should be resorted to. We insert the ipsissima
verba of the leading journal. They are as follow :
"The Leviathan is as yet only a shell. Except-
ing that it has not even its engines on board, it is
exactly in that state to which, at great difficulty
and cost, the Agamemnon and Niagara have been
reduced for this service. In the Leviathan any
length of cable that could possibly be required
could be held and stowed in the manner most con-
venient for paying out. The pitch of that huge
vessel will be quite inconsiderable in the roughest
seas, and the strain on the cable will therefore
be uniform. Sufficient length may be taken on
board for the most lavish use of the cable, even
to twic.9 the distance from one shore to the
other. it is plain we must not be stingy of
material, if we are to succeed. The ingenious
writers who' enlighten the public on the wonders
of the deep, tell us that currents carry the
cable miles CY t of the ship's course before
it touches the bottom ; that, ever so freely plyed
out, the cable p.sobably hangs in festoons from one
submarine mountain top to another ; and that,
even if the cable is so fortunate as to escape the
sharp edge of a prec.;pice, mere suspension between
two distant points may stretch it beyond its
strength. If this be sO, the more cable we have,
within reason, the bette'r. No ship afloat but the
Leviathan could carry am ample supply for the
whole distance. It alone could carry coals suffi-
cient for paying out the whole cable at the rate of
five, four, or three miles an hour, if necessary,
and could afford, even in the midst of the process,
to make any delays that might be thought ad-
visable."

No addition is required to these conclusive
arguments. The Leviathan can do ate work, and
the Leviathan is fortunately idle at this moment,
so that her services may be readily mule avail-
able. It will be an admirable opportunity for
testing her capabilities. There is no el3borate
fitting up that should be taken away before the
commencement of the work. Everything is in
the proper state for the double experiment.
We need not expatiate on the extraordinary
advantages to trade and commere from the oppor-
tunities of obtaining early, we might say
instantaneous, information respecting the state
of the transatlantic markets. On this point,
the following observations of the Times will
meet general approval. It says :—" If ono
man could send an instantaneous mes-
sage across the Atlantic, he would speedily make
his fortune at the expense of all the rest of the
trade. If forty men divided the monopoly, those
forty would divide the profits of the trade. Early
intelligence is not enough. The earliest oppor-
tunity of sending messages and orders is not
less necessary. Through the aid of our own
columns every merchant in London might
know the state of prices all over the United
States, and, indeed, all over the whole American
continent, every day, or every hour of the day ;
but that knowledge would be unavailing if the
merchant had not also the means of sending to his
correspondents orders founded upon it. Hun-
dreds at both ends would be pressing not only to
receive messages, but to send them ; and no
doubt the great bulk,. perhaps 89-hundredths, of
the me6sagud transmitted would be of this private
and uninteresting character. One cable would not
do it. The Leviathan might be constantly
employed at the work, till cables enough had
been laid down for the demands of commerce."
Should this be correct, and we see not how it
can be controverted, there is room for many
companies, and the Leviathan may pay handsome
dividends, although not in the way anticipated by
its projectors.

GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Government emi-
grant ship Golconda, 1,124 tons, Capt. Dodson, sailed

INTENDED VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO
CHERBOURC.

A Prn4s Ighir, in the Journal du Havre, says :
"The Eniperu, .l is firs 7ritton from Plom-
bieres to Queen Victoria to invite her Majesty
attend the fetes at Cherbourg ; and it is affirmed
that the Queen has replied by telegraph that her
Majesty accepts the invitation, and will be at Cher-
bourg on the 7th of August, accompanied by Prince
Albert and the Earl of Malmesbury, Minister of
Foreign Affairs. This news, of which we can gua-
rantee the bona fide character, proves that the un-
derstanding between France and England, if it
were ever shaken, is at present as intimate as
ever."

THE QUEEN AND THE INDIAN ARMY.

Sir Colin Campbell has promulgated the following
general order to the army in the field, dated Camp,
Bareilly, 10th May, 1858 :
The Commander in. Chief has received the most gra-
cious commands of her Majesty the Queen to communi-
cate to the army the expression of the deep interest felt
by the Queen in the exertions of the troops, and the
successful progress of the campaign.
Sir Colin Campbell has delayed giving execution to
the Royal commands until he was able to announce to
the army that the last stronghold of rebellion had fallen
before the persevering attempts of the troops of her
Majesty and the Hon. East India Company.
It is impossible for the Commander-in-Chief to express
adequately his sense of the high honour done to him in
having been chosen by the Queen to convey her Ma-
jes.c'y's most gracious acknowledgments to the army, in
the ranks of which he has passed his life.
The dourna.nder-in-Chief ventures to quote the very
words of till 9ueen :
" That so many gallant, and brave, and distinguished
men, beginning with one whose name will over be remem-
bered with pride, with Brigadier-General Havelock, should
have died and fallen, is a great grief to the Queen.
" To all European as well as native troops who have
fought so nobly and so gallantly, and amongst whom the
Queen is rejoiced to see the 93d, the Queen wishes Sir
Colin to convey the expression of her great admiration and
,gratitude."

DEATH or EARL GOWER.—WO are sorry to learn that
the Marquis and Marchioness of Stafford have sus-
tained a deep domestic affliction by the unexpected de-
mise of their eldest son, the youthful Earl Gower. On
Saturday the young earl, in charge of the usual attend-
ante, left Stafford-house for Lilleshall, the marquis's seat
in Shropshire, and appeared to be in the enjoyment of
excellent health. On Sunday he was attacked by illness,
and according to a telegram received yesterday after-
noon from Lilleshall, expired yesterday morning. The
earl was born in 1850, and his premature death has
plunged the members of the noble house of Sutherland
into the deepest grief.
DEATH OF VISCOUNTESS FALKLAND. ---We regret to
learn that Viscountess Falkland died on Friday night
last after a short illness. Her ladyship was the youngest
of the five daughters of the late King William IV. by
Mrs. Jordan, and was born Nov. 5, 1803. She married,
Dec. 27, 1830, Viscount Falkland, by whom her lady-
ship had issue an only son, Captain the Hon. Lucius
William Cary, born Nov. 24, 1831. Lady Falkland was
' possessed of considerable literary talent, and her last
work "Chow-chow," has been only a few months before
the public. The Earl and Countess of Munster, Viscount
and Viscountess Campden, Lord Frederick and Lady
Ate-mete Gordon Hallyburton, General and Lady Mary
Fox, Luid eed 11a Lido and Dudley, and other
families of distinction, are placed in suouruieg by the
lamented event.
DEATH OF SIR THOS. War. BLOMEFIELD BART.—We
have to record the demise of the above respected baronet,
who died at Brighton on Wednesday last. Sir Thomas 4
was born March 4, 1791, and married Nov. 11, 1819,
Salome, daughter of Mr. Samuel Kekewich, of Peamore,
Devon. He succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of
his father, Gen. Sir Thos. Blomefield, who received the
dignity for his services as commander cf the Artillery et
Copenhagen in 1807, in August, 1824. The deceased is
succeeded in the baronetcy by his son, the Rev. Thomas
Eardley Wilmot, born in 1820, nod married first in 1844
to Miss Maitland, third daughter of the late General
Sir Peregrine Maitland, the niece of the Duke of Rich-
mond ; mid, secondly, in 1853, to the eldest daughter of
the Rev. J. D'Arcy J. Preston.
MEMORIAL TO SIR E. B. LlTTON.—Yesterday a de-
putation from the Aborigines Protection Society had an
interview with the Earl of Carnarvon, the Under-Secre-
tary for the Colonies, at Downing-street. The deputation
consisted of Messrs. R. N. Fowler, L. A. Cheenerovz
Edmund Fry, G .L. Neighbour, F. W. Chesson, and the
Rev. H. Richard. The secretary read the memorial.
The views of the deputation were urged by various
speakers. Lord Carnarvon said that all the subjects to
which the memorial had alluded were now under the
serious consideration of Sir E. B. Lytton ; but he should
not fail to direct his special attention to those parts of
the memorial which related to West Africa and the
Cope. With regard to the latter colony, be was happy
to say that the intelligence received by the last mail was
somewhat rc-assuring, and gave reason to hope that the
hostilities between the Orange Free State and Moshesh
would die out much sooner than had previously been
anticipated.
LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S BANKRUPTCY BlLL—This bill
covers 158 peges of paper, and contaitis 461 clauses.
The followin; are the principal alteratiens proposed :-
1, The distinction between traders and non-traders is
to be done away with. 2. The county coui t judges are
to have the powers cf commissioners in bankruptcy, but
their daties are not defined,. 3. The messengers and
brokers are to be done away with, and their duties per-
formed by the official assignees end ushers. 4. The
official assignee is to be paid by stdary for all such duties
as he performs in that capacity, but he may be appointed
creditors' assignee if the creditors be so minded. 5 The
creditors are to appoint an assignee of their own, and fix
his remuneration, and they are also to appoint three in
specter; to overlook and advise him. 6. The distinction
in classification of certificates is abolished, but the com-
missioner is still to retain the power to deprive a debtor
of a certificate, to suspend it, or to annex: conditions to
it. 7. Estates may still be wound up under deeds of
arrangement ; but this mode seems only applicable '
where all the creditors reside in Great Britain. 8.
Bankrupts, for certain offences, are liable to imprison- •
meat, and the commissioner has the powers of a magis-
trate to enable him to commit them for trial,

ANNIVERSARY OP AMERICAN INDE,-
P2ENDEI.VCE.

The 82d anniversary of the declaration of the inclepen•
deuce of the United States was celebrated by a banquet
held last night at the London Tavern, and attended by
about 150 American gentlemen resident in this metro-
polis. The banquet was presided over by General
c 2. (..11 Ti... if nd Staten Comulot London,
on whose right sat ...bit.. •

The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the first toast, said that
the event which they had met to celabrate was the poli-
tical natal day cf their country—a day the importance
of which to the progress of the humaa race was not ex-
ceeded by any other sinco the commencement of the
Christian era. (Cheers.) The feeling of every Ame-
rican citiz,:n towards the Government and the people
of England was one of friendship and goodwill.
The American nation had hitherto recognised
England as the mother from whom they had
sprung. But the day had at length arrived when
the United States should regard Great Britain not so
much as a mother as an elder and most cherished sister.
(Cheers.) For each other's griefs they should sorrow,
for each other's happiness they should strive, and in each
other's successes they should heartily rejoice. (Cheers.)
The gallant Chairman concluded by giving "The day
we celebrate," which was drunk with much enthusiasm.
The CHAIRMAN nex':, gave "The President uf the
United States," taking occasion to observe that though
Mr. Buchanan had been elected upon a party platform,
he had yet by his broadly national views, his wisdom,
clergy, and fixedness of character, not only happily dis -
posed of all sectional agitation, but brought his cont..-
try through the Kansas, the Mormon, and the right of
search difficulties. (Cheers.)

Toe CHAIRMAN said the AmPricans wcre universedly
distinguished for their appreciation of and their respect
for the female character ; and he was convinced •chat
every American present, and every loyal Euglisfraaan—
anel where would they tied an Englishman who was not
loyal ?—would join with heartfelt ple.i.sure in drinking
the health of the highest lady in that land, who was an
honour to her station, to her sex, and to her country,
over which sha had shed innumerable blessings by the
moral influence of her pure and ex,,Alted character.
(Cheers.) He begged to give them "The health of Her
Majesty Queen Victoria."
The toast was received with au enthusiasm quite
equal to that displayed by an assembly of Englishmen,
the company remaining standing up while thu band
played " God save the Queen."

- The next toast, "To the memory of Washington,"
was drunk in solemn silence.

The CHAIRMAN, in a complimentary speech, then gave
" The health of Mr. Dallas, and the diplomatic repre•
sentatives of the United States," which was greeted with
loud applause.
His Excellency Mr. DALLAS rose to acknowledge the
toast, and was received with loud cheers. He said,—Mr.
Chairman and fellow-citizens, I had promised myself, in
consequence of continued ill-health for some time past,
to abstain from anything so exciting as public speaking;
but it is, unfortunately, the 4th of July—(laughter) --and
I find it impossible to remain silent on such a day after
you have received the mention of my humble name so
kindly and so cordially. A few years ago it would have
been thought discourteous and intrusive had one or more
American citizens ventured upon the celebration of the
4th of July, 1776, in the great city of London. The old
wounds were still fee h, old feelings still survivee, and the
citizens of the United States who were hero had the good
taste as well as forbearance not to do that which might
have been misconstrued so as to be disagreeable to those
among whom they were residing. (Hear.) But now,
gentlemen, we feel much more at ease. The principles
of the American revolution have gone on conquering
and to conquer. (Cheers.) They have received the ap-
probation, cordially but certainly, of all the wise and
good in England as well as in the United States..
They have become perfectly well understood—they have
beaten down the impressions of hostility which, being
misunderstood, they originally created. The principles
of the American revolution aro acceptable here as they
are at home. (Cheers) The men of our heroic days—
rue Washingtone, cur Jeffersons, our Madieons, and our
heroes! in the battle-field, ar e known in England closest
as well as they are in the United States, and are honoured
as much here as 'there. (Cheers.) Tee progress, then,
of the principles of the revolution of the United
S ates has been striking, and has produced that to which
I have already adverted—the propriety of our meeting
to celebrate the origin of those principles in Loudon as
well as elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) Do not for a 'aliment
suppose that I am availing myself of a detached part of
the tea.A just given in order to draw the conclusion that
the recognition of those principles has been brought about
in any degree by the diplomacy of the United States.
("Hear," and a laugh.) The truth is—and you are, per-
' haps not aware of the fact—that we have no American
diplomacy. (A. laugh.) In England and on the Conti-
nent diplomacy is a lifelong career. With us it is nothing of
thesort. American diplomacy, compared with European
d plomacy, may be likened to the militia as contrasted with
the regular army. (Laughter.) To be sure, in the United
Stetes,frorn the outset, we have always had a partiality for
the militia. Hear, hear.) Oar first military achieve-
ments were gained by men among wh6tn were some of
the rawest possible militia, (A. laugh.) And it has so
happened, probably by accident, that our militia has
over and over again proved equal to the best regulars of
Europe. (Cheers.) It is in that way, pi rhaps, that the
diplomacy of the United States has been able to do se me•
thing towards giving expansion and popularity to the
principles of the American revolution. Althoug,h our
Ministers abroad have been drawn from the ranks of
private and professional life, on very many occasions, at
the most distinguished Courts of Europe and throughout
the world, in conflict, or rather in argument, with the
most refined diplomatists, of any country, those mili-
tiamen of diplomacy hand achieved remarkable sue-
ce-s. (Hear, hear.) I might refer, if I were dis-
posed to empty upon you the archives of the Ame-
rican Legatiou here or elsewhere—(a laugh)—to many
striking instances of this kind ; and as I propose to cue-
elude my remarks by suggeoing a particular name to
your approbation, it may be proper to say that the list
of our American diplomatists, beginning with Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Munro, and Wm.
Whitney, includes a long array of illustrious "
dipternatiste" who have left behind them a record
of the most gloss ng and gratifying character. (Cheers.)
At this very Court ssme of my predecessors may be
compared to the very Lest of the drilled cohorts of
European diplomacy. There is one little comment,
which is to a certain exLent connected with American
diplomacy, on which I will say a word. You know
that we have recently had some little difficulties on
the coasts of the United States and in the West
Indian Sea—(Bear, hear)--a matter with which, as
one of tire militiamen in the diplomacy of the United
Stases, I was lately charged. Now, without referring
to that question more closely, it is a point which
is essentially connected with one of the fundamental
principles of the American revolution—that principle
being the necessity of maintaining on behalf of the
great American people, as a great community, the
iuly likefei low on
.con the.
n
in-
dependence cf their flag. (Cheers.) Well, I am Hot
going to argue the question as to visit and search.
It has been over and over again, for years back,
4tharguedo
f and
juiry to announce
eel g
u e d'
But
I to slir
my
trymsn that visit and search in regard to American
vessels on the high seas in time of peace is frankly and
finally ended. (Tremendous cheering, the whole com-
pany rising and manifesting the liveliest enthusiasm.)
While, gentlemen, I am able to announce this gratifying
fact, I think it ought also to be accompanied by the
assurance that the termination of that for which we have
struggled for nearly half a century has been brought
about with a degree of honourable candour and fair deal-
ing on the part of the British Government which is
worthy of every acknowledgment en ear part. (Loud
cheers.) With a view to draw these remarks to a close,
I beg to offer you as a toast the name of one of the
earliest representatives alike of the principles of the
American revolution and of the constitution of the
United States—l mean Thomas Jefferson, the author
of the Declaration of Independence. (Laud cheers.)
The toast was drunk in solemn silence.
Mr. P. W. KENNARD then proposed "Young Anse-
riot and Old England, divided in 1776, united in 1858."
l'she ite 7.? Te ores re 'Derided to the sentiment. He
complained 7 •
caricatured and misrepresented by the English press—a
course which inevitably led to mutual irritation and
estrangement. America and England must either be
friends or foes; a medium attitude was impossible to
them. India, Aus'ralia, Gibraltar, Malta, Aden, Perim,
were some of the stolen gems that ornamented the British
crown. If, then, Columbia cast admiring eyrie towards
Cuba, Central America, Mexico, and the Sandwich
Islands, she was only walking in the footprints of her
illustrious predecessor. (Hear, hear, and a laugh.)
Esgland was the king of Filibusters—Hengist and
Horse, the Saxon robbers, were her models. Are erica
thus far was but a petty prince ; but when they Filibusa
tered between themselves the devil would be the
standard-bearer. (Laughter.) For many years it had
been tne populir belief that America bad been using
England's money. He thought they could turn the
tables, and prove that England had been using America's
money. Take one interest, their iron reads. While
England had besn building her Houses of Parliament,
America had completed 27,500 exiles of railway, costing
in round numbers 300,000,0001. England during the
same time, bad made but 9,000 miles, costing the
same amount of money. Now, during the crisis,
the entire debt of America to Eegland, Govern-
ment, State, city, corporation, railroad anti individual
eeli,etione much of which was not due for 10
years, was 80,000,0001. Therefore the amount
for roads paid by the Americans themselves was
22000,000/. Three per cent. on 80,000;000/. was but
2,500,0001. per annum. Let them reflect, and they
would admit that America had been the golden egg.
(Hear.) After d upon the intimate commercial
and .moral ties which bound the two nations together,
Mr. Trein concluded an elerpient address areid loud
pplause.
Among the other treats were "The Consular Service '
of the United States," " American Literature," " The
Mtrettetile Marine of the United States," "The Mer-
cantile Marine of the Uhited Kingdom," &c.
After e schausting a very long list of " eenti :rents" and
spending a very convivial evening tie party broke up at
a late hour.

ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICAN INDEPENDTNCR.—As the
4th of July occurred this year on Sunday, the Ame:ica
resident in Liverpool celebrated the annivert-ary of the
declaration of American ludependtnct3 yesterday (\lon-
day). Flags were hoisted on all the American shipping
in port, and over the consulate. At night there was a
nutnerou4y attended dinner at the A.delphi Hotel, and
a spe:;ial fete at the 7.iological Gardens.
CITY OF GLASGOW PANK.—There is DO truth in the
rumour that the City c f Glasgow Bank has amalgamated
with the Royal or any other bank. —Ccaecloniarf dicroiry.
