THE MU'T'INY IN THE INDIAN ARMY.

Lord Clarendon has this afternoon received the
accompanying telegraphic despatch from the Acting
Consul at Triest".
July 29, -1.85.

TELEGRAPH FROM MR. RAVEN, ACTING-
CONSUL AT TRIESTE, TO LORD CLAREN-
DON.

ALEXANDRIA, JULY 22, 1857.

The India mail brings no authentic account
of the capture of Delh;. It was not taken
on the 10th of the last month, when Gene-
ral Barnard, having repulsed two sorties,
was waiting reinforcements, . which must have
since joined. A letter from Banuy and Co., dated
Madras, the 27th of June, states •posi-
tively that official intelligence had reached
Madras the previorm. day cif the fall ,of
Delhi, but this is net confirmed from Bombay
on the Ist July. The mutiny had spread consi-
derably in the Bengal army, though it is not even
now general, as might have been expected. At Be-
nares, on attempting t) disarm the 37th N. 1., the
greater part of the Sikhs and the 13th irregular
Cavalry, joined the mutineers on the 14th of June.
The ex-King of Ondt., implicafed in the conspiracy,
by intercepted papers, was lodged in the Fort
William, and his followers disarmed. On the same
day the native troops at Barrackpore and Calcutta
were quickly disarmed.
English troops are arriving fast.__.

An act has been passed by Legislative Council for
placing the Indian press under license to be with-
drawn at pleasure. In Madras and Bombay pre-
sidencies all remains quiet. The only disturb-
ances being a mutiny of the first Nizam's Cavalry,
at Turungabad, promptly put down by Bombay co-
lumn. Our usual forces in China, on BthJune, took
a fort and destroyadabout one hundredand twenty-
seven junks, mounting nine hundred guns.
Three officers and 8 men killed ; 3 officers and 53
men wounded on oou side. The capture of
thirteen junks on the 27th •day of May, and
twenty-seven junks on the 28th of May ; also
mentioned. The dates are, from Calcutta, June 21;
Madras, 28th June ; Ceylon, Ist July ; Hong
Kong, 10th June ; Bombay, Ist July.
(Signed) RAVEN.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
DROGHEDA ELECTION COMMITTEE.
The members of the committee appointed to try the
election returns for Drogheda, were called to the table
and sworn.

PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The amendments to the Islington Parish Act
Amendment Bill were considered and agreed tr..
EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO COMPANY.
Mr. DRUMMOND asked the Secretary to the. Trea-
sury on what guarantee 43,0001. of the public money
had keen advanced to support a private specu-
lation of the Eastern Archipelago Company ;
what secarlty for the same bad been given ;
whether the Government was itself going to
work the coal mines of Labuan, and, if not, whether the
Government were mortgagees and at what rate of
interest ; whether the Government bad guaranteed to
pay to the Sultan his royalties or to ensure that they
should be paid ; whether the Government had taken
seaurity that the money should be lona fide employed
in the way for which it had been asked, and when the
money was to he repaid I
Mr. WILSON said that the question of the hon.
member assumed that an advance bad been made by the
Government towards a private speculation. He (Mr.
`Nilson) knew nothing of the circumstances, and as his
attention had only been called to the question within
the last quarter of an hour, he bad been unable to make
inquiries relative to the subject. He would give an
answer to the question to-morrow.
SMOKE NUISANCE (SCOTLAND) ABATEMENT

BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill.

Oa clause 1.
Mr. BOUVERIE said he was friendly to theobjects of
the bill, but was not prepared to support the comprehen-
sive provision of the clause which would take in every
description of manufacture throughout Scotland. He
considered some inquiry should be instituted before they
agreed to it, because great difficulties existed in carry-
ing out the provisions of the English Act, and the pro-
blem of removing the smoke nuisance has yet to be
removed. He moved the onai.sion of the clause.
A discussion ensued, in which Sir J. Calebroke, Mr.
Dunlop, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. BJuverie, Mr. Buchanan,
Sir J. Anderson, and other hon. members took part.
The clause was agreed to.
Clauses 3, 15, and 18 were struck out.
The other clauses with amendments were agreed to,
and the bill passed through committee.

The house remumed.
SUPERANNUATION ACT AMENDMENT BILL.

The debate on this'bill was resumed t)y.

Mr. RICH, who said that he was obliged to speak
against time on a former occasion, from hon. members
bel)w the bar refusing to hear his objections to the
measure. His oljections to the bill were—first, that the
bill was imperfectly framed ; secondly, that it would be
unjust in its operations ; thirdly, that it was unneces
sary ; fourthly, that it was based on erroneous state-
ments ; fifthly, that it would involve, a useless and ex-
travagant expenditure of public money : and sixthly,
that it strongly recognised and encouraged a breach of
confidence. He denied that this was a question of
abatement or no abatement—that had been decided by
the committee—but whether 100,000/. per annum should
be added to the salaries of one-third of these public ser-
vants, and that third the richest part. He called upon
the house to support the committee's report. •
Lord NAAS said that the bill put before the house
s caablaletdemoennt, and it was on that
to decide. He regretted
that

that the noble Secretary to the Treasury had felt himself

xaLmainted before the
committee, and they stated that a longer deduction
was made from the salaries than the pensions of the
Government represented. He denied that he
had charged Government with a breach of
contract. All they asked for was an alteration
of the present system, which was a very bad
one from its nature. He admitted that if there had
been an increase of salaries within the last two or three
years, it would have been an additional reason why his
proposition for an increase should not be acceded to,
but he was prepared to show that the salaries in many
of the departments had not been increased, and he in-
stainced the Admiralty and Customs. In 1834 the num-
bl9er9
,oaftcainvil rvansenuaalnetxspeenmseplootyse9d,2i6n the Admiralty was
61., giving an average
of 2971. In 1856 the number was 262, the exoenses
74,385/ , and the average 2831 per annum. In 1834 the
Cust,ims were collected by 4,856 persons, at a coat of
722,1001., giving an average of 1491. In 1856 the num-
ber was 5,570, the cost 814,0001., and the average
annual salaries 1461. (Hear.) In further confirmation
of his assertion, that salaries had not increased, he
quoted from two. speeches delivered in that house
by the Under secretary to the Treasury (Mr.
Wilson.) On the 12th of June he said that notwith-
standing there had been an increase of business- in th,,
