TEE EgLIEF OF LUCKNOW.

(Prom, the Daily News.)
It is believed, in the beet informed circles in Calcutta,
that the 90th Foot and the sth Fusiliers have been in-
tercepted at Dinapore by Sir J. Outram on their way to
join Gen. Havelock, with a view to attempt sending
them to Lucknow through Fyzabad. Such a project
would be little short of insanity. There are only two ways
of reaching Fyzabad from Dinapore—by the Gogra, or
through Gazipore, Jaunpore, and Azimghur. The latter
is at all seasons a difficult route, owing to the want of
made roads ; and at this season the greater part of the
country to be traversed is under water. The Gogra,
from its volume of water, is no doubt navigable, but it
has never been surveyed, and to send a steamer up it
on an expedition where speed is a main object would at
present be most unwise. But let us suppose the troops
arrived at Fyzabad. They would there be as far from
Lucknow as at Cawnpore ; they would have no such
road to travel along as between Cawnpore and Luck-
now; and they would find the oountry which they had
to pass one great quagmire. This review, however, un-
favourable though it be, leaves the most prominent
feature of the telly of the scheme attributed to Sir James
Outram entirely untouched. The revolted soldiers in
the vicinity of Lucknow are estimated not to' be under
20,000 well-armed men, at the lowest figure. They are
so concentrated that they can with ease be made to face
either way—to resist an assault from the Cawnpore or
from the Fyzabad side. They are sufficiently numerous
to make bead against Havelock's 900 and Outram's
2,000 at the same time, if they do not advance in one
united column. It would be a hazardous attempt for
Havelock, even were the sth and the 90th added to his
force, to cut his way through the superior numbers of
the mutineers to Lucknow ; but for either or both of
the detachments to reach that place before they are united
will be next to impossible. The scheme attributed to
Sir James Outram is alike in defiance of every principle
of the art of war, and of common sense. It is an attempt
on the part of an infinitely force to surround one vastly
superior, and attack it ea masse; whereas the tactics of
the inferior force ought to be to concentrate itself, break
the enemy's line (if we may borrow a phrase from naval
warfare) and cut him up in detail. If Sir J. Outram
bas really taken upon him, at the eleventh hour,to change
the plan of operations which General Havelock has
hitherto been acting upon, in this absurd manner, we
may abandon all hope of the rescue of the Europeans
shut up in the Residency at Lucknow, and we must also
entertain the most serious apprehensions for the safety
both of the troops under Havelock, and of those which
Sir James Outram is sending on such a wild-goose er-
rand. And it is to be feared that Sir James Outram is
just the man to make such a blunder; for immediately
fedora the battle of Meanee he endeavoured to obtain Sir
Charles Napier'a assent to a childishly absurd and im-
practicable movement proceeding on the same false prin.
ciple.

But, however it may be with this matter, thus much
is certain. Sir James Outram has been appointed to the
command at Dinapore, at the same time as Mr. J, P.
Grant is sent forward to Allahabad. Both of them were
members of the council from which their appointments
emanated ; both proceed to their respective destinations
prepared to carry out the same policy. Now, what that
policy is, in the case of Mr. Grant, is well known. That
gentleman repairs to Allahabad avowedly for the purpose
of transferring all power from the military to the civil '
authority, in a province where civil war is raging, and
every principle of law in abeyance for the time. Mr.
Grant goes to Allahabad to put an end to the impress-
moat for the carriage of troops—a system indispensable
in what is at present to all practical purposes an enemy's
country, and doubly indispensable from the utter ineffi-
ciency into which the Commissariat service in that dis-
trict has been allowed to lapse by the Civil Government
of India. Mr. Grant goes to Allahabad for the purpose
of putting an end to the trial of all native; by courts-mar-
'l .l, and re-establishing, amid the anarehy of a military
revolt and plundering insurrection, all the cumbrous,
complicated and retarding forms, which, even in the
most quiet times, have rendered the criminal
Courts of the Mofussil a laughing-stoc't and a
bye-word o 1 acorn to the aggregate crime-class of
India, Mr. Grant, who has been nominated by himself
and his colleagues to initiate this Unwise policy, is ex-
aztly the man to do a thing which must be intolerable
to, all soldiers', in the most offensive manner; for his
whole career has been a series of wanton insults and ob-
structions to the military service. And Sir J. Outram,
whose experience in the political department is much
greater than in the military, is not the man to assert the
rights of his own branch of the service against his
pedantic red-tapist colleague. The antecedents of both
gentlemen leave little room for doubt that their presence
in the disturbed districts will utterly paralyse the opera-
tions of the army. Nor is this the wore. The system
'upon which they are sure to act will be an entire change
from that, upon which Generals Havelock and Neill have
I.;sen acting ; and if Sir Colin Campbell is the man he is
understood to be, he will insist upon the Grant-Outran
policy being departed from, and the Neill-Havelock
pOlicy resumed. Even tbough the measures understood
to be contemplated by Mr. Grant and Sir J. Outram
were as sagaciens as they are unreasonable, this inces-
sant change of counsels would be most injurious to our
cause in India. It will be regarded by the native sol-
diery and population, and by all the native princes, as
symptomatic of weakness and irresolution. L will prc.
long the crisis and iucrease its danger.
Now for all this Lord Canning is responsible. He can-
not throw the blame on his Council. He is obliged to
listen to their advice, but he is not obliged to take it.

him that a military revolt and insurrection can only be

our provinces the authority of the Civil Courts must be
suspended—the orfinary forms of civil procedure inter-
mitted ; and the same common sense must tell him that
t > hamper and obstruct the operations of the army by
the interference of red-tape bureaucrats is to render it
utterly ineffective.
.Lord Canning, it is clear, lacks that
strong persistent will which is requisite in such a crisis
as that through which British Tillie is now paeaine.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether any mere civilian is ade-
quate to the task of wielding the destinies of India at
Via I present moment. There is much plausibility in the
set ;gestion .that the offices of Governor-General and
Cc mmander-in-Chief ought to be vested in the same per-

On Saturday upwards of 100 recruits arrived at
Chatham from London and the Midland Counties
for the purpose of joining the Indian depots at-
tached to the three battalions at that garrison.
During the past few weeka nearly 1,000 recruits
have joined the various Indian regiments as
Chatham, and arrivals are taking place almost daily.
Considerable progress has been made in the in-
struction of the young officers and troops now at
Chatham, who are about proceeding to India, in
the use of the Enfield rifle, and about 300 officers
and men are daily under instruction in the use of
that weapon. The instructors of musketry attached
to each battalion are Major W. Radcliff, 84th Re-
giment, Ist battalion ; Capt. C. Lutyen, 20th Regi-
ment, 2d battalion; and Capt. W. Nott, 83d Re-
giment, 3d battalion.
. _

On Saturday the companies of the sth Fusiliers
quartered at Chatham left that garrison, and joined
the depot battalions at Colchester, in order to make
room for the depot companies of the 18th Royal
Irish and 33d Regiment, on their passage to Chat-
ham.

The following officers have joined their regi-
ments at Chatham previously to embarking for
India :—Captain R. Carr Glyn, 7th Royal Fusi-
liers ; Captain W. L. D. Mears, 20th regiment ;
Staff Assistant-Surgeon W. M. Trestrail and
Second-class Staff-Surgeon R. C. Martin have also
joined the provisional battalions at Chatham for
garrison duty.
The Abeona steam transport on her late voyage
from Gibraltar, with troops, performed the passage
in five days 17 hours, not eight days, as stated. in
our notice of her arrival.

The Topographical and Statistical Depot of the
War Department has for the present been placed by
Lord Panmure under the direction ofLieut. -Col. H.
James, R.E., the Superintendent of the Ordnance
Survey, the two offices being thus to a certain ex-
tent consolidated under one officer.

flag (white at the mizen) as Commander-in-Chief of
the squadron on the Pacific station, on board the
Gauges, 84, sailing ship, Capt. Fulford, at Spithead
on Saturday, and saluted the Port-Admiral. She is
still short of her complement of crew.
Capt. Robt. Fanshawe Stopford (1840) has been
selected by the First Lord of the Admiralty for
the good service pension in his gift, by the promo-
tion to flag rank of Capt. E. H. Scott. Capt. Stop-
ford was commander of the Phcenix at the bom-
birilment of St. Jean d'Acre.

Capt. T. A. Anson (1841) is appointed to the
good-service pension in the gift of the Admiralty
by the promotion of Capt. J. Kingcome to flag

and also of Amoy in 1811. He recently was
Captain of the James Watt, 91.
The newly-built 51-gun screw-frig to Melpomene,
recently launched at Pembroke, arrived at Spit-
head on Saturday evening, and will go into Ports-
mouth harbour to-day to be immediately docked
and equipped for commission.
The Diadem, 33, 1,000-horse power, Captain
Moolsom, C. B deranged some of her machinery on
Friday on h-r first trial, which prevented a satis-
factory report of the result. She realized a speed
of betweeu 11i and 12 knots.

The Hood, 91, s.s., at Chatham, will shortly be
" reported" to the Admiralty as fit for launching.
The Mersey, 40, is also in a very forward state, and
is to be completed and launched as soon as possible.
The officers and men of the fleet in Portsmouth
harbour have contibuted a day's pay towards the
fund for the relief of the sufferers by the rebellion
in India.

THE MILITIA.
The officers of the Ist Royal-East Middlesex Mi-
litia have, through their commanding officer, Col.
Wood, forwarded to Lord Patunura an offer of their
services. This regiment is now upwards of 1,000
rank and file.

Recruiting has proceeded actively for the East

ment of the regiment a few months since 300 men
have been enrolled.
The West Essex Militia will not be called out
this year.
The Glamorganshire Artillery Militia has assem-
bled at Swansea, and the men are regularly drilled
three times a-day, viz., from 6 to 7, 10 to 1, and 3
to 5 o'clock, Making six hours each day. The re-

consequence of the general fast. •
The staff of the Shropshire Militia have received
orders to recruit for 40 regiments of the line.
The Royal MeCionetbsbire Regiment of Rifle

REINFORCEMENTS Fon INDIA.--We do not pretend to
be in the secrets of the Cabinet. But what need be
secrets no longer are the announcements that the stan-
dard for recruits for regiments of the line is reduced to
the lowest limit which it reached during the Russian
war—that a further addition of 5,000 men is held in
readiness to embark for India; that is to say, 4 batta-
liens of infantry and 2 of cavalry —and further, that
10,000 more of the militia are to be embodied, in addi-
tion to the 15,000 already designated for garrison duty
to supply the drain upon the troops of the line sent to
the East. It wil► be remembered that at the very eve
of thEeprorogatioia of Parliament an act was passed to
enable the green to embody the whole of- the militia
force of the Ueitcd Kingdom if necessary. At the same
time, a sum of 200,0001. was voted to aid in the payinent
of so much of this force as was likely to be required. At
that time it was supposed that fenn 10 000 to 15,000
men would be required of the militia. It is now fouled
that a larger number will be wanted, and Government
are resolved to call out the requisite quantity. The ques-
tion arises, will it be necessary to call Parliament toge-
ther before the usual time? We believe that strictly for
the embodiment of the militia it will not be neceeiry
to summon Parliament in November, inasmuch as
Parliament has already given authority for teat purpose.
But if the course of events should render it necessary to
call Parliament together the Government will not shrink
from their duty. although, of course, they will not retort
to such a step unless rendtrad more necessary than as
yet seems likely to be the case.—Sunday paper.

THE RIGHT HON. SIR J. S. PAKINGTON,

M,P., ON INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The annual dinner of the Woccestersh;re Agricul-
tural Society was held at Wore ster on Friday even
ing, at the close of the exhibition of stock. The
chair was taken by the Hon. F. Lygon, M.P., and
among the company were Ear: Beauchamp, Viscount
Elmley, the Right Hon. Sir J. S. Pakington, Bart.,
J. H. H. Foley, Esq., M.P., Sir Thos. Winning-
ton, Bart., M.P., &c.

In the course of the evening Sir E. H. LECH-
MERE, Bart., gave the health of the borough mem-
bers, on which

The Right Hon. Sir J. S. PAKINOTON rose, and
spoke at some length. After allusions to the pros-
perity of agriculture, and to the bountiful crops
with which Providence had blessed us this season,
he came to the all-engrossing topic of the day--the
mutiny in India. He said, while they had all occa-
sion to be thankful for the elements of prosperity
at home, they could not close their eyes to the fact
that a dark cloud had arisen over a portion of the
fortunes of England. He hoped and believed it
was only a passing cloud; but a dark and threaten-
ing cloud had arisen—and at this moment, in that
country where only three months ago the represen-
tatives of the Queen were exercising power and
authority in calmness and security over one of the
greatest empires in the world, we saw our own arms
turned against us ; our soldiers were now our
greatest and most ferocious enemies ; and a small
band of English soldiers, by the exercise of deeds
of valour which had never been exceeded, were barely
able to keep their ground in tome few of the chief
strongholds of that country, and were utterly unable
from their paucity of numbers to protect our coun-
trymen—and, alas ! he must add our countrywomen
—from the most dreadful cruelties and atrocities
ever committed. Politics—that was, mere party
politics—were excluded from these meetings ; but
he thought it would hardly be becoming iu a large
body of Englishmen like the present to assemble
together without giving utterance to the feelings
which all entertained on the subject. The right
hon. baronet then explained the steps he had taken
to originate apublic county meeting on this question,
at which he proposed that they should address her
Majesty the Queen, to assure her Majesty that they
appreciated the gravity of the crisis, and that they
were prepared to offer her the best support in their
power to conduct thestruggleto a triumphant issue.
(Cheers.) He confessed that he felt very anxiousthat
England should speak out in this crisis of its history.
They could not at this moment commit a greater
folly than to shut their eyes to the magnitude of the
crisis. He thought that the greatest fault that the
Government bad committed—and here he spoke of
the Government of India rather than of her Ma-
jesty's Ministers in this country—had been in un-
derrating the magnitude of the rebellion, and in
speaking of it as only a military mutiny, and a pas-
sing outbreak which would speedily be subdued.
(Hear.) They might depend on it this was not a mere
passing military mutiny, it was a deeply-organised,
long-matured conspiracy, with the object of exter-
minating the English in India. (Rear.) In this
aspect they ought to view it ; and in viewing it in
this aspect was our greatest safety. His advice to
the country was : don't let us underrate the danger,
but let us meet it in the spirit of Englishmen de-
termined to subdue it. (Cheers.) He wished to be
clear from any misunderstanding as to the opinion
which he entertained on this subject. Let it not
be supposed that in using this language he felt
anything like an approach to despondency or
despair. On the contrary, he could say with sin-
cerity that the view which he took of the state of
affairs—gloomy and anxious as he admitted it to
be—was a sanguine feeling. of ultima'e success.
There was one fact which they would all have ob-
served in connexion with this rebellion. He thought
it was clear to demonstration that the relative
superiority, man to man, of the European over the
Hindoo was now as great as it was when the great
Ciive won the battle. of Plassy. It was extraordi-
nary that it should be sosvheu they considered that
the soldiers whom the Europeans had now to con-
tend with were soldiers whom they had trained up
thernselveq. But it was thefact that the superiority
of the European over the Hindoo was as great now
as it ever was; and when the reinforcements from
England shouldhave landed in India, and marched
to the assistance of our army there, he sanguinely
hoped that the authority of the Queen of England
would soon be re-established. There was another
fact on which he grounded a strong hope, and he
formed it on a private letter received a few days
since from the Governor of Ceylon, who said we had
great reason to be thankful that the matter was not
worse than it is. The Governor of Ceylon wrote
that we in England had hardly yet a full conception
of the danger which we had escaped—Oh
for that India had been saved by the prematiad not
u' re
sout-
break at Meerut. In another fortnight,
that outbreak tsken place, there wel
have been
a simultaneous massacre of all the Europeans in
India. (Sensation.) And his correspondent used
this remarkable expression, that "he verily believed
there would not have been an European left to tall
the tale." We had been saved that danger by the
premature outbreak at Meerut. This, then, he
would say, was the time for Englishmen to prove
their loyalty, and at Pall events to support the
throne ; and this done, he believed the triumphant
rrsult would be to re establish our dominion in
India. With regard to the atrocities of the Sepoys,
Justice must be vindicated, crime must be punished,
the power of England must be asserted, and the
horrible deeds committed must be treated as they
deserved. Englishmendemanded this ; but be would
say let it be done in no vindictive spirit. Lst justice
be tempered with mercy. It might bo perhaps not
an acceptable sentiment to them, but it was a senti-
ment deep in his heart, and when they came to deal
with the matter after the victory had been gained,
let them bear in mind that our own hands were not
clean, (Rear, hear.) India had not been governed
as it ought to have been. It was only yesterday he
submitted to the astods led eyes of a large par yin a
country house official proof that in collecting the
revenues of India there had been practised inthe
name of England—he would not say by the autho-
rity, but he feared not without the knowledge of
Englishmen—there ha l been practised tortures
iit'le less horrible than those which we now deplore.
This must be borne in mind in the day of reckon
ing ; and in dealing with this question let them bear
in mind these two great cardinal objects—first,
that as a great nation we must re-establish the au-
thority ofthe sovereign in India, and secondly that
when that authority is re-established India must be
better governed. We muss take care that our past
errors are corrected, and our mission so fulfilled
that we may not onlyreap the bona tin the govern-
ment of that great empire, but so do it as to pro-
mote the happiness, the welfare, and the ultimate
civilisation of that vast portion of the human race
entrusted to our care. (Cheers.)
Other toasts followed in the course of the evening.
