other equally flagrant evil which It may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,
end ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this hook
oald find its way into the hands of thosc who ,?!..ffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less ladortance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
touch money...—. This volume is well qualiftse to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
'lkely to do much rood."—Medical Circular.

the Bengal army, and that the army of Bombay
would show manifest signs of sympathy before the
first column of reinforcements could reach India
from these shores, it cannot be denied that the- cap-
ture of Delhi and the general discomfiture of the in-
surgents would have been regarded as contingencies
calling for great satisfaction. If we proceed further,
too, in the scrutiny of these transactions, we find
ample matter for approbation in the unremitting
energy by which succours were collected at Calcutta
and despatched to the Upper Provinces. There
was not a station or settlement within reach of the
Governor-General from which he did not draw
every available bayonet, and, as far as yet appears,
with all practicable despatch. This, in fact, at the
moment was the chief duty of Government. The one
great object was to get troops together, to liberate
our besieged garrisons, and to reinforce the army
before Delhi. We failed, unhappily, to reach Ca.wn-
pore in time for the rescue, but Lucknow we de
vow ly trust has been relieved, and Delhi has been
actually oarried'by storm.
It was when these first convulsive struggles for
self-preservation were exchanged for the more ordi-
nary proceedings of Government that the chief
occasion for dissatisfaction with Lord Canning's
policy appears to have arisen. For this dissatis-
factiou we still think, notwithstanding Lord Gran-
ville's deprecation, that there was 'sufficient cause.
It is not merely in a particular proclamation or a
particular appointment that objectionable features
are discernible, but in the concurrence and tenour
of a succession of acts. What scandalised and
exasperated the people of this country was the
apparent impress of a narrow, traditionary, • and
exploded polio), upon the actual proceedings
Government at this terrible crisis. The worst

spirit of the old Indian civil service became sud-
denly visible in the acts of the Administration,
to the prejudice and disparagement of our strug-
gling troops, almost before the death-grapple
could be said to have been decided. It was
not that the proclama,tiou which Lord Gran-
vide analysed was theoretically unjust,. but

that it was out of place altogether,- and be-
trayed unwelcome principles in its terms and
its tone. The policy of the Government at this
period seemed to indicate the general ascend-
ancy of a spirit opposed to the dictates of j ust-
tice, and based only on the interests of a elms.
The magnitude of the revolution, which had at first
been denied, was depreciated ; the dreadful inci-
dents of the revolt were alluded to in commonplace

terms, and great anxiety was shown so to represent
and arrange matters that the action of our miliiary
commanders should give place as aeon as possible
not merely to civil government, but to the routine
of an administration as little as possible undis-
turbed. Perhaps the distinctions drawn in the
Government proclamation may be logically justi-
fiable, but people in this country would rather have
seen the matter left to our Generals in the field.
We could have wished that instead of appointmeLts
of civilians and promotions of Mabommedans—in-
stead of elaborate edicts respecting the appoint-
ment of penalties, the p' eminent features of Lord
Canning's policy had been a bold recognition of he
real state of affairs, and a decisive support of those
men on whom the control of India now actually
rests. We wish Col. Neill had been a more con-
spicuous figure than such an Indo-maniac as Mr.
Grant, and 'that the fine shades and delicate dis-
criminations of mutiny and murder had been left
to the cognisance of our officers on the spot.
The policy of old Indian administrators is per-
fectly natural. They wish to make something
less than a revolution out of the matter, and to
preserve their own privileges and functions as far
unimpaired as may be. But the system is now
past and gone. India can never again be the
India of former times, though we hope it may be
something far better. We have never been among
the detractors of Indian statesmen. For the
general government of that country there is much
to be said,—more, by far, than many people ap-
pear to conceive. To the status quo, however, we
can never now return. We cannot have a dominant
Sepoy army, a system of centralization affecting
even the authority of regimental officers themselves,
or a government iu which power and responsibility
are so divided that uo effective share is to be f, send

in any one pair of hands. In so far as the old policy
of Indian administration rests upon these traditions
it must perish, and any attempt to revive or pre-
serve it made at the expense of that military power
to which we now look for the pacification of our.
Eastern Empire will infallibly evoke the discontent
and remonstrances of the public.

RISE. IN V. THE RATE OF DISCOUNT.

(From the Times City Article )

The Bank of England yesterday raised their charge
fur discount from 8 per cent., which was adopted on
the 19th ult., to the unprecedented rate of 9 per
cent. _ _

The public were fully nrepared fee the meaeuro,
and in some quarters it had been anticipated cv,n
that the movement would not have been to 9 per
cent. for bills not having more than 60 days to run,
and 10 per cent. for longer descriptions. That the
latter restriction would not have proved too strong
seems already to have been indicated by the fi et
that the demand has shown little, if any, diminu-
tion. As the public have now an amount of notes in
their hands equal to any recent average, and busi-
ness has been for some time undergoing rapid con-
traction, this continued pressure must be mainly
caused by alarm and the consequent desire of every
person to be over supplied. The question whether
any further rise will be necessary will therefore
greatly depend upon the extent to which this action
is carried. If the mercantile community, instead of
recognising from what they have already witnessed
of the course of the Bank that they are in no danger
of being suddenly shut out from accommodation,
will pertinaciously rush to obtain a double share,
any inconvenience they may sustain will be of their
own creating. The Bank eau undertake to provide
for wants, but not for fears. There is not the slightest
provocative to panic, and whether such a humiliat-
ing exhibition of national ignorance and folly can
now take place is a question rational people would
hardly have entertained a few weeks back. The
old opponents of the Bank Charter Act, however,
ate beginning to bustle in the storm, and it is im-
possible to feel certain on any point. One of their
great modea of creating fright is by pointing to the
low state of the reserve of unemployed notes, as if
when what is exhausted the Bank would be obliged
to cease discounting altogether. But the fact is
that the Bank could, under such circumst4ne
still continue their discounts on as great a scale
as ever, since their bills receivable each day
of course on the average bring in as large a
total as they are ordinarily asked to let out. They
could not increase the scale, but no one will sup-
pose that with a contraction of business in all quar-
ters any increase can be required. There is conse-
quently not the shadow of a pretext for any cry for
Government palliatives. Some persons who nave
shown every disposition to assist in allaying idle
apprehensions have nevertheless suggested that
Government should intimate their readiness to
grant a conditional power of rjaxatiun in the came
manner as in 1847--. that is, by a notification that
upon payment of a certain rate sufficiently high to
prevent needless applications the public should be
allowed to:have any extent of discount they might
require, without regard to the increase or decrease
Of the stock of bullion. But the public have never
in the present crisis been without an assurance
equally strong. It is admitted that it does not
matter how high the rate may be, so long as the
certainty is given that money can be had at some ,
rate. When has this cerizinty been called in ques-
tion I The very object of the ~Rank in each succes-
sive advance le to maintain a poi:awl to enable
them to comply with every legitimate al];
and there eau be no d{,ubt of this being enacted,
unless an iustiao tiarnend uponi them should preve.:'
it. It may, howevef, asked,- " Why not avert
the chance of such folly b Government noece '
af
that would calm everybody ? Grattf that in prin-
ciplea it would be humiliating and ridietaloue, still
it could do no harm, and might prevent much itiis•
chief," This announcement can scarcely be re-
quisite. All classes of the public must be well
aware that if the nation should so pitiably lose its
selfpossession as to give way to panic there is but
one remedy, and that the Government will be Com-
pelled to adopt it. There can be no need, however'
by a formal proceeding to proclaim a belief that the
financial sense of the nation is still so low .is to
cause the degrading contingency to be regarded not
only as possible, but probable.

-
In connexion with the Bank announcement yes-
terday no one can fail to see cause of congratulation
at the fact of a heavy load to India having thus
far been avoided. Even the assistance all eady
afforded to that country—amounting to tluee or
four millions sterling, since the cessation of the pay-
ments ordinarily due from it must, equally with
the specie in course of despatch, be regarded a; a
contribution on our part—has seriously aggravated
the difficulties of the crisis, and if a loan of five or
, ten millions in addition bad been contracted we
