lished, the English being the official language.
The Times, which perhaps thinks it loyal to main-
tain the perfection of a government in distress,
defends the company by telling us, to translate its
remarks into plain English, that the said com-
pany is a sham ; that it has no power whatever,
that it is bound hand and foot by the Board of
Control, whose bidding it must do ; that it is a
mere Indian council to Mr. VERNON SMITH. Now
this is true and untrue. It is not a mere council,
since it practically retains the management of
nearly all the internal concerns of India, and of a
very large share of the subordinate patronage ;
indeed, it has nullified, as far as it could, the ad-
vantages of public competition, by transferring its
officers to the civil service, to the ruin almost of
the efficiency of the army ; but if the Company
ho indeed a sham, wby preserve it ?
But far worse than this, the Board of Directors
is, as the Times well knows, the grand hindrance
to dispatch of business ; the buffer and the screen
it once, to save the Indian administration from
the shocks of public opinion, and to protect it
from the gaze of the British public. Setting aside
details, the indirect mischief done by the mere
existence of the East India Company is incalcu-
'able. But for such a device Mr. VERNON SMITH
dare not havis ventured to accept the post of Pre-
sident of the Board of Control, even if it had
been offered him. With this grave old Council
in Leadenhall-street it is supposed that some
stripling of the aristocracy is quite good enough
to be the Cabinet and Parliamentary representa-
tive of the Government of India. What we pre-
sume the Calcutta petitioners desire is, not that
the Minister for India should not be aided by any
well-selected board of Anglo-Indians as his
advisers, but that he should be the head of that
board, and that the second board should cease to
exist. We know whom to look to in every other
great department of State, and whom to hold dis-
tinctly and solely responsible. We want the same
for India ; concede this, and with the attention
now a Takened to India, the post of " Secretary of
State for India" will become only second to that of
Premier. It ought to be filled by some one practi-
(sally acquainted with India, some one also of abi-
lity to command a Parliamentary position ; the
choice maybe limited, but the men are to be found.
The present system does not eves make the best
)f its present men. We believe that even Mr.
SMITH himself, or Mr. MANGLES, as a solely re-
sponsible minister for India, would be an infinitely
better man. But we repeat that the disgraceful
anomaly of the Double Government is tolerated
merely to keep in office at home and in Cal-
cutta a class of third or fourth rate needy arists-
crats. The Minister for India and the Governor
General of India ought to be men quite equal to
the post of Prime Minister.
The open council—that is the admission of
non-official persons to the Legislative Council of
Calcutta—is surely a prtentous change, light as
the Times made of the whole matter. It is
scarcely possible to conceive a set of men more in-
competent as a whole than the present Council cf
the Governor-General. Of course Lord CANNING
must be, at first, almost at their mercy ; and the
only wonder is that, with such advisers, be has
not done worse. We refrain from characterisira
.e)
them individuslry, though they well deserve it ;
but their conduct must have shown even cisutl
readers that self-sufficiency and ignorance which
refused to.be enlightened has worked a system of
routine tat it has almost overthrown our Indian

dmpirc.

"I have lost a day 1" The Roman E.nperor,
who thus deplored his idleness, was fully alive to
the magnitude of the evil. He knew that he
could never regain that which he had heedlessly
relinquished—that the damage was, indeed, irre-
parable ; all he could do was to determine that
he would carefully avoid a similar mistAko for the
future; and it is recorded that he faithfully
maintained his resolution.

It would be well if our rulers would adopt a
iimilar course. The nation has virtually "lost
a day," and that at a time when the demands
on its resources are most onerous and urgent.
Mina aro to to closed, looms stopped, agricultural
labours suspended, shops unopaned, and all the
operations of trade and commerce brought to a
stand still. Those who can barely contrive to
live with the most stringent economy are deprived
of one-sixth of their weakly earnings, and thereby
compered to fast really. Many who occupy a
position but little higher in the social scald, but
who might be enabled to contribute their ru
towards the relief of the Indian sufferer, will leJ
prevented from doing so by the same cause. And
why ? Simply because through the mismanage-
ment and political blunders of the Angle-Indian
Government, the Beng!il army have mutinied, and
perpetrated the most savage and outrageous
crueEies on these who have been so unfortunate
as to fall into their hands. " Q,lic quid cleliraat
reges plectuntur Achivi." Ia lik3 manner the
People must suffer both in purse and person for
the mis.akes of their rulers.

A week since we referred to the judicious an-
swer returned by Lard PA.LMEIBTON to the de-
mand of certain Scottish Ministers and Eiders
for a similar fast, in order to arrest the spread of
the cholera, which was then spreading de.struction
throughout tho land. His Lordship then showed
them that it was vain to petition the Deity, when
wa did net adopt proper means to prevent the
evil. It was like the conduct of sailors who aban-
doned the pumps while the lank was gaining fast,
and the helmsman who let the frail bark steer
itself in plico of directing her towards port, in
order that they alight pray before the images of
their favourite saints—Aide tub, et Dieu, t'aidera,
was the purport of his Lordship's reply, and such
ought it to have been on the present occasion.
As we have repeatedly st4ted, men "cannot be
made religious by act of Parliament," or by R )yal
Proclamation. Nay, more, a vast number will
resent the attempt, more especially when acc
panied by privation and inconvenience. Bit-
ter feelings will arise iu many minds
which may more than counterbalance the
good effects produced ou the piously disposed.
It will also be made by others a day of feasting
and enjoyment, in place of being one of fasting
and humiliation, and the loss of wages will be
more than doubled, we might perhaps say quad-
rupled by the additional outlay incurred in the
pursuit of pleasure and amusement.

Had Sunday been selected for the purpose, no
one could or would have complained. Those who
desired it might have fasted and humiliated them-
selves. Nay, mere, there might have been a
QUEEN'S letter authorising collections in every
church and chapel, or other place of worship
throughout her dominions, for the relief of those
reduced to poverty and destitution by the terrible
outbreak. The call would have been pronopily
and liberally responded to, and the donations '
would have been " twice blessed," to the givers
and to the recipients. It was, however, a puri-
' tanical triumph, a concession to the Mawworm
faction ! The good is', at least, very problematical.
It might be different if it was received in a 1
proper spirit by a majority of the peopleq
But, from previous experience, we fear
that there is but little prospect of that being the

case. On the other hand, the evils are palpable
to the most superficial observer. First, it will
prevent the creation and production of a consider-
able amount of national wealth, perhaps to the
amount of 1,000,000/. sterling. Secondly, it
will occasion serious privation and distress in
many humble families, all of whose exertions are
barely sufficient "to keep the wolf from the
door." Thirdly, it will, in a large proportion of
cases, be misspent, will lead to riotousness,
drunkenness, and profusion, and be more likely to
offend than to conciliate and appease the DEITY.
Fourthly, even those who are determined to act
up to the spirit of the proclamation—who will
make it really " a day of fast and humiliation
and prayer"—it may induce to avoid the earthly
means necessary to success. As the Puritan
General said, "Trust to GOD, but keep your powder
dry." There are, however, some who will think
that in observing strictly the fast, they have done
all that can be required at their hands. This is
a grave mistake ; but it is one which proceedings
such as above referred to may foster and en-
courage.

The mischief has, however, occurred, and can-
not now be averted. We would therefore ear-
nestly advise every person to conduct himself
decorously and properly, and so far as in him lies
to avoid any thing that may occasion scandal to
the public or evil to himself or family.

An officer who was on board the Notorious
Transit, during her last voyage, has written a
letter, which will be found in another part of our
impression, and which clearly indicates with how
much reason Sir CHARLES 'WOOD felicitated him-
self en her admirable performances. It will go
far to show whether her loss was really an acci-
dent, or the almost inevitable result of the unfit-
ness of the ill-fated vessel—whether it Might not,
in fact, have been averted by foresight and j udi-
cioua arrangements on the part of " my Lords."
The writer clearly considers the captain
and the master exempted from all blame.
He declares that "no men could have
displayed more vigilance and anxiety—painful
anxiety—from the hour they left Portsmouth.
They knew, what the others did not, the fearful
danger ; but always displayed so much cheerful-
ness as really to lead the passengers, at times, to
imagine that she was the finest vessel over floated."
The following graphic description points out
the state of the vessel, and her absolute un-sea-
worthiness. The writer says—and there is a
vraisemblance about it which induces us to yield
an easy credence :—" From the hour we left
Portsmouth we were in danger, as on
leaving the deck the fan of the screw,
which had not been raised, came into col-
lision with the dock. The fan was positively
broken, and the concussion caused a leak aft
which could not be stopped. The Transit, except
the wind was on the quarter or beam, would not
answer her helm ; the sails did not fit
her, and were very old. On the 221 and
23d we lost the foresail, foretopsail, the main-
sail, and maintopsail. The mainyard, made
of indifferent timber, broke in half like a rotten
stick, and one of the plates of iron of which the
ship is built broke in two below water mark. I
need not tell you that it was almost impossible to
prevent the vessel from foundering ; indeed, Lad
the gale not abated nothing could have saved u'.
You cannot conceive the extent of that danger.
It may help you to do so when I toll you that on
the 24th we pumped out of the wretched ship
600 tons of water. 600 tons I"

What can by a possibility be worse than this ?
Can anything more powerfully illustrate the abso-
lute inefficiency of the Department who thus
jeopardised the lives cf a large body of her
MAJESTY'S troops, engaged in a most important
duty? Daring the entire voyage they were kept
in a stale of the utmost peril and discomfort.
Their property was damaged in the first instance,
and eventually destroyed, and it was through the
blessing of PROVIDENCE that they were spared a
similar fate. It could scarcely be expected that
she would arrive safely at her destination. The
writer thus speaks on that point :—" At home you
will esteem it a most unfortunate and disastrous
occurrence that we should be lost. I believe ther e
is not a sou: among us who did not thank GOD for
being wrecked where we were, as if we had prc-
ceededeveua
heavytireto
galeClr of wind Chinese Seas, and met a typhoon, cr
the Transit must have
sunk, and all of us been los'. Formyowii pare, ,
[ esteem it a most merciful oeeurreuce."

This cannot be suff,ired to pass by sub silent.;:o.
Of cours., there must b 3 a stringent and searchii g
investiption into the conduct of the responsible,
offis!ers. But it should not rest there. 15 should.
ex ,end to the conduct of the Board of Admiralty,
who neglected the most impressive warnings, and
with pdrverse obAinacy sent her forth to perish
on the journey. The conduct of the crew and
passengers was all that could be desired, other-
wise the calAwity would have been of a far more
serious deseriptior.

THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE INDIAN

MEETING.

While discussing—many in a friendly, some few
in a hostile spirit to England—the events and
chances of the Indian insurrection, none of the
Paris papers can refuse their admiiation to the
heroic efforts of the few scanty battalions of
Europeans scattered among and making head
against tens of thousands of enemies. And while
acknowledging, some few of them unwillingly
enough, the often-proved gallantry and invincible
tenacity of the British soldier, they are also corn-
pelledto applaud. the energy and self-confidence with
which the British nation meets its disasters. " C
braves gems sont dignes d'etre Francais!" exclaimed
a French paper, the other day, when recording the
exploits of a handful of English opposed to a host
of Sepoys. Although this may excite a smile in
England, in a Frenchman's mouth, it is the very
highest form of praise. To-day a journal remark-
able for its hatred of England contains, in its
review of the financial week, the following para-
graph :
"In London no business is doing. Nevertheless
Console maintain themselves, notwithstanding the
gravity of the news from India. This is one of
the most curious phases of the English financial market,
and can be explained only by the national pride of a
country which will not avow fts embarrassments, or
perhaps even which is so convinced that the resist-
ance to its domination will be overcome that it awaits
with patience the hour of its definitive triumph.
What is quite certain is, that all the circumstances are
formally and incontestably productive of decay and
feebleness, and that by a moral energy .for which one
cannot give too much credit (dont on ne peut savoir Crop
yre) to the national spirit that inspires it, nothing is be
frayed outwardly of the effects of the gigantic struggle
in which England sees herself engaged."

The Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, who left Brod-

A
ingrteranatrkast Ointrtaefwear,3nee to the paucity of la-
bour in that part. of Canada:—" The demand for a;ri-
cultural labour has been very great during the pre;eir.t
season, and the supply has not been at al adequate 'zo
the wants of the country. In the early part of n• xt
spring., therefore, a large number of first-class agricul-
tural labourers wouH be certain of obtaining initard,ale
employment at from 425. to 543. per month, with boa n,
lodging, &c. The (Marva country offcrs indimensent to

be supplied with a house en cr near the lot where th,-.37
are employed. The wives can be employed at fair equi :
valeote for their services. In this cityand throughout the
Ottawa country, the demand for frniale domestic ser-
vants is unusually great, and a vast number of such as
have been accustomed to the ordinary duties of hou•if.-
-. ,vork would be immediately engaged at from 15s. to 20:;.
per month; to ciuks acquainted .with their duties 25,. to
30s. would be cheerfully paid. In addition to tlao,e •e.-
quired in the towns, a great many would he employed
ia the rural distric s, where those that have been accus-
tomed to the duties of the dairy would be hizhly apps; -
,ciated and well remunerated. A moderate number of
, mechanics, such as carpenters, blacksmith., -&c., are
also in request, and to men of good character this part
of Canada offers permanent inducements highly adv4n-
. ta7,enu.s to their future interests. Laud of capital qua-
. lity can be obtained at moderate prices. This ()bleu is
easy of access at all times of the year by the Gr.-,id
Trunk Railway to Prescott, and thence by the Prescott

A POACHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS OWN GUN.—
Yesterday an inquest was held upon the body of Jamey
Sutton, a notorious poacher, residing at Eillington, near
Blackburn, who was killed on the previous Friday even-
ing by the accidental discharge of his own gun. On
the night named Sutton left his home, in company with
another poacher named Robt. Thompson, to go shooting.
Sutton put his gun into his o,at pocket, and they went
into a field occupied by Mr. Anthony Mercer, when
Thompson took the gun. out of Sutton's pocket, and got
over the hedge with it in pursuit of game. Not finding
any he returned to his companion, and, handing the
gun to him, at the same time pushed it through the
hedge muzzle forwards, saying, "Take thy gun."
Sawn seized boll of the barrel, and was drawing
it through the thorn fence, when, the trigger being
caught, the gun was discharged, and the contents lodged
in the left side of
,Sutton's breast. lle was taken up,
end conveyed to his parents' house, where he lingered
until the f Liming morning. The deceased was 23 years
f a ge, and unmarried. A, verdict of Accidentally killed
mai , returned by the jury.

THE THEATRES.

HAYMARKET.

Last night Mies Sedgwick, a lady of provincial cele
brity, made her first appearance as Pauline in the " Lady
pf Lyons." She is a lady of considerable physical power,
t commanding figure, and a face fun of play and ex-
oression of feature. Her powers in the delineation of
the higher passages, both of passion and tenderness, are
of a high order, and she perfectly understands how to
;ive effect to the varied and changing phases of a wo-
nan's feelings. High feeling is, in fact, the great merit
3f her acting, as far as we have yet been able to judge of
it ; and we fully believe that in the higher flights of
dramatic pathos, she will take rank with the highest
artiste on the stage.

At the conclusion of each act she was called before
the curtain, Eeing rewarded by her really splendid acting
in the three by a tumultuous demonstration from all parts
of the house, She is without question a very great
acquisition to the stage for parts requiring power and
force of expression. Whether she will succeed equally
well in those requiring dash and piquancy, remains to be
seen.

Mr. Howe made a most admirable Claude, and divided
the honours of the evening. Some of his long speeches
savoured of the school of elocution—that was not his
fault—besides which, they gave such intrinsic pleasure
to the gallery that no one could regret them. In some
instances be rose above the conventionalities of his part
—much of which, it must be confessed, is rather hack-
neyed—with a talent and spirit which deserves especial
praise. The other parts were excellently filled, and played
with especial cars. The house was crowded.

dent of the Triester Zpitung, Lord Stratford has
informed the Porte that vast quantities of weapons
are bought up by the ultra-Mahommedan party for
the use of their fellow believers in India. The
correspondent asserts that the substance of the
reply given by . the Grand Vizier to his Lordship
was, that he could not possibly interfere with any
private speculation which was prejudicial neither
to the existence nor to the welfare of Turkey.

According to advices from Bagdad, the English
Commissaries, who were accompanied by a Persian
employe, have been received at Herat with all the
ceremony and respect due to them.

The Ancona correspondent of the Augsburg Ga-
zette writes that Austria is likely to have granted
to her by the Papal Government the right "'al-
ways" to keep a small garrison in Ancona. It is
not probable that the news is correct, but if it
,hluld be so, neither France nor England will
greatly approve of the arrangement between Aus-
tria and Rome.

If the Austrian papers are to be believed, Baron
Prokesch is now doing all in his power to persuade
the Porte to sinction the firman by which the Vice-
roy of Egypt authorized M. de Lesseps to form a
canal across the Isthmu's of Suez.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

It may 13J remembered that the Austrian ni-m-
-her of the European Commission in the Principali-
ties protested against the declaration of his col-
leagues of France, Russia, Prussia, and Sardini..,
on the subject of the illegality of the first elections
in Moldavia. The following is the despatch al--
dressed by Prince Gortchakoff, the
ster of Foreign AffairS, to Baron de Budb,2rg,
itus-
st.-in at Vienna, on the subject, dated Pe
terhoff., Aug. 21 :
Monsieur le Baron,—The information which we Itaee
lately received gives hopes of the speedy and ansica-
ble arrangement of the diffirences which have arisen
at Constantinople. The understanding re-establieheJ
between all the powers which signed the treaty
ef Paris has given the most lively eatisfaetten
to- our august master. We should have preferred
burying in oblivion ad the previens disputes, ii a
fact ireterted in one of the prettoeols of the sittings of the
European commb-ion did not compel us to make soete
remarks on the subject. In that eitt:ing the Austrian
commissioner, alluding to a declaration made by his col-
Icagueteof Russia, France, Prussia, and Sardinia, said
that they had acted in manifest contradiction with the
provisions of the treaty of Paris and the instruc ions, of
the congress. We cannot silo w such expressions to pates
unnoticed. During the whole of the diecuseioes which
arose in the European commission, the imperial cadieet
has invariably kept to the faithful execution of the treaty
of Paris as regards the Principalities, and the worde
acts of its representative at Constantinople.auddiaßolll-
- at Buctiarel4 have been guided by the same f, el-
; ing. It is, therefore, impossible for us to understand
what the Austrian commissioner means by the repr. Etch
addressed to bur of his colleagues: Does M. Liebman
suppose the, in pro,erce of the irregularities cent-
witted in Moldavia under the authority of the Cainiate.e
—irregularities which now appear to be admitted by the
cabinets of London and V e :na them-elves—that the.
et-m.111,68t0n could remain a eitent,spectator, and ace pt
a divan formed on such conditions as the legal organ of
the wishes cif the country It is not in this light that
the imperial cabinet c mprehends the task in which it
co-operates. In appointing a commissioner to teke
part in- these works', it wishes to take part in a con
scientione work, and to carry it out with good faith end
in strict conformity with the principles laid down by t iv
Coneressi and the deelarat c!in against which M. Liehtean
has protested is only a consequence of our respect ter
those principles. We have not, Monsieurla Baron, the
elig'utest intention of recriminating, and it is not wit is ut
regret that we charge you to deliver a copy of this de-
spatch to Count de Buol. We are, moreover, willing to
suppose either that the Austrian comunseioner has not
fully understood the ideas of his court, or that he hae
given a development and a character to them which titre
not in the intentions of theinaliidirmCesura.

.elections, which ought to he a faith'ul expression of those
wishes, are carried on under the illegal pressure of t,:e
local autlioritieß, the commission only fulfils a slr.ct
ley in Pointing out Ole infraction of the principles
;loan in the treaty cf Paris. In our opinion, any °the,
attitude would neither respond to the dignity of the
posers which signed that reaty, nor to the confideece
which they ought to iiifTire.—Accept, &0.,
