we need have no solicitude for the ulterior
consequences of the terrible struggle which
we • cannot but -regard as only just now com-
mencing—a life-and-death struggle for the main-
tenance of cur vast Asiatic Empire—a vital or a
deadly strife for the allegiance of 100,000,000 of
:he subjects of our Constitutional-Sovereign.
The latest intelligence from the far East—re-
e.ived, so to speak, but a few hours .since, yet
published in our Columns on Sat trday evening—this
iatest intelligence, we say, was in truth sufficiently
alarming to necessitate some bold and resolute
,neasure like this (viz., the instant appoiutment
of Sir Ceram CAMPBELL to the chief command of
ear' forces in Hindostan) on the part of our Home
Government. It reached Ministers—that disas-
trous news—late on Friday evening ; and was
formally taken into consideration by them at the
Cabinet Council on Saturday. So seriously taken
into consideration, that already we see the result
is this wise and instantaneous nomination of Sir
COLIN CAMPEELL-ono of the most heroic and
illustrious of living soldiers—to the imminently
perilous and responsible post of Commander-in-
Chief of the whole of our military forces
in the Indian peninsula. No wonder the
idvieers of her MAJESTY have acted for once thus
resolutely, without temporising or procrastination.
rho situation is altogether too full of danger and
alarm to admit of one moment's unnecessary
delay. Ministers have seen this, and have acted
accordingly. it would have been incomprehensible,
wholly and astoundingly incomprehensible, had
they acted other Wise. For what is this Saddee Peril
which they are called upon to grasp—at once—and
with a glove of steel ? What ? It is the _Revolt
of the whole Bengal Army ! The Desertion or ate
Rising in Arms of 26,000 men in the aggregate.
[t is true, no doubt, that not by any means the
whole of these 26,000 men are activity in the
held against our authority—considerable bodies
of the rebels having fled from their colours in all
directions, hastening either to their own homes,
-a- into yet more secluded retirement,. It is also
consolatory in another way, to remember that
even at the principal stronghold of the Rebellon,
the Ancient Capital of the MOGUL Empire—at
Delhi—the insurgents having tempted battle out-
side the walls with the troops still faithful to the
British. Government had been signally defeated
with a loss of twenty.six guns—their routed and
diminished ranks being driven back ignominiously
into the town, and the town itself threatened
with an immediate assault gild bombardment !
By a singular casualty, General ANsoN died of
cholera on the 27th of May at Kurnaul—leaving
vacant, at a crisis of great peril, the post of Com-
mander-in-Chief, in which post he was thus
strangely and mysteriously deprived of that
coveted prize of the Soldier, the opportunity of
earning distinction I The appointment, however,
of General PATRICK GRANT as Commander-in-
Chief had—although by necessity only a tempe-
rary appointmenf—already done very much more
than simply relieve the general anxiety spreading
far and wide throughout Hindostan. It had re-
vived the hopes of the civilians, and reanimated
anew the resolve and energy of the soldiery. L.
ppears, under the circumstances of the case, to
have been perhaps the wisest course upon
which the Indian Government could possibly have
adventured—this temporary nomination of one of
the most popular of all the Soppy Generals until
the situation ceuld be resolutely dealt with by the
Imperial Government at home. Let it be re•
membered that Geueril GRANT is in the Com-
pany's Service—that he was recently appointed
(the first instance of the kind—absolutely the
first instance of the kind—with reference to any
but a. Queee's Officer) Commander of the
Forces at Madras—and that he was Viscount
(then Sir Iltton) GOUGLI'S Quartermaster-General
throughout the two memorable campaigns of the
Punjauti. As a " temporary " appointment, no-
thing in truth, we conceive, could have been
better judged than this one of General PATRICK
GRANT as Commander-in-Chiel pro tem, namely,
until the Governor-General and the Councils et
Calcutta could communicate with the magnates of
Leadenhall-street and the Horse GuacdP, and,
above all, of course, of the Imperial Government.
Now—having communicated with them—the In-
dian Governor and Government are relieved from
all this heavy weight of responsibility. Already,
as we have seen, the crisis has been effec
tually dealt with by the Advisers of
the Crown. And the danger threatening
the stability of our Indian Empire may, uuder
GoD's protection, be already looked upon as vir-
tual:), dissipated and scattered to the winds of
heaven I Eagland, we do confidently believe,
reposes implicit reliance upon the wisdom and the
valour of Sir COLIN CAMPBELL-and events will
soon prove, with GoD's blessing, that she is not
in any way mistaken in her elevated estimate of
the warlike genius of that heroic Highlander I

The Lords have ones more rejected the Oaths
Bill. The second reading was on Friday refused
by a majority of 34 in an unusually fill house,
there being 139 for and 173 against the Govern-
ment. The numbers present who heard the
debate wore 91. for and 109 against, and proxies
48 for and 64 against. Fur the sake of retain-
ing one of the la.3t•vestiges of bigotry and into-
lerance, they retiined .uieless and almost blas-
phemous adjurations that might, without any
extraordinary stretch of argument, be described
as " taking the Loan's name is vain." For this,
too, they have entered into colli4on with the
other branch of the
,Logi-lature, which, by a de-
cisive and over,vhchning majority, decided for
-- the removal of the civil and religious die-

Atheists, 141reethilikers, and Mormons, it was ad-
mitt'ed, might tako the oaths, and others, whom

we'shall not insult by naming, along with these

parties. It is, however, against the Jews that
the holy enthusiasm now prevails. Even HAMAN

himself was not more fiercely indignant

againat MOUDECAI, more bent on removing him

from the King's presence, than were the
maj,,rity against the admission of even a
single Hebrew to a seat in Parliament. True

it is that the gentlemen thus aspersed maintain
an honourable and unimpeachable character in
every relation of life—that they have made
ex.;e'lent magistrates, independent electors, and
good and loyal subjects—that they have always
been prompt to come forward with their wealth
and credit in every national emergency. Still an
insurmountable bar is to be raised against them,
and they are to Le daily insulted by a petty, and,

we may almost add, a malicious exclusion from a
place to which they are as well entitled to admis-

aion as any other loyal subject of her MAJESTY.
The facts of the case " lay in a nutshell." It
was universally acknowledged that it was a mere

accidental disqualification, never intended at the

time when the words •` on the true faith of a
Christian," were added to the jurat or form which
gave validity to the promissory part of the under-
t tking, but which constituted no portion of the
pledge. In declaring that he accepted that pledge
and was willing to swear to it "in the manner most
binding on his conscience," Baron ROTHSCHILD did
all that could reasonably be required at his hands.
The whole current of legal, decisions from the
leading case of "Oniechund v. Barker," to the pre •
sent time has gone in that direction. The great
mistake was, when the House of Commons at the
suggestion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, refused to
allow the chosen representative of the City of
London to be sworn at the bar, and required a
bill to be passed for that purpose. It was the
then Premier t` who raised the giant first," in
order that he might subsequently have the plea.
sure of killing it. That was the grievous error,
which ithas taken so many years to repair. Had
that course been adopted the excitement would
speedily have subsided and matters moved in their
ordinary course. Lord JOHN wanted to make a
ittle political capital, and he contrived to raise a
lemon, which he has never since had sufficient

power to exorcise.
We do not think that Lord DERBY or his fol-
lowers will have much cause for rejoicing at the
triumph they have obtained. They have gone in
direct opposition to the three most eminent mem-
bers of their party. What would the Tory Oppo-
sition now be without the aid of Lord LYNDHURST,
of Mr. DISRA.ELI, and of Sir J. PAKINGTON ?
"The RUPERT of Debate" would be left alone
in his glory without their countenance and
advice. He would indeed be " left alone
with his glory," with scarcely a counsellor
)r coadjutor on whom he could rely. It is
strange how far men will be hurried by the
rancour of religious hate ; how every feeling of
propriety, every consideration of consequences,
will be banished from their minds. There is
the victim, and whether it be to torture and
destroy, or merely to insult and injure, an affecta-
tion of religion will always be put forward as an
excuse for the painfte, duly. Th 3 modern FRONT
DE B(EUF can't openly despoil ISAAC of York. He
can't threaten to broil him over the glowing
embers unless a heavy ransom be counted down
on the dungeon floor ; but he can insult and
injure,_can deny the enjoyment of unquestionable
tights and privileges, and display the odium theo-
logic/cm in all its bitter intensity. They have done
their worst, and we should far rather be in the
position of the victims whose just claims have
been postponed for a time, than of those, "dressed
in a little brief authority," who refused to act in
a liberal and conciliatory spirit towards those to
whose " prudence, ability, and moderation," they
were compelled to pay an unwilling tribute.

At length one member has been unseated, Mr.
NEATE for Oxford ; some small consolation this to
Mr. CARDWELL and his now defunct party, though
he has still to win the prize of a seat for himself.
Less lucky here than at Clitheroe in 1841, ho
only enjoys the pleasant satisfaction of-the dog in
the manger, but that is some satisfaction to an
irate politician, of taking from another what he
cannot enjoy himself. Perhaps, however, Mr.
CARDWELL means to try his chance once more at
Oxford. The city must have a kindly feeling for
him. It took him in, a homeless wanderer, in
1853, after rejection by two large constituencies,
Liverpool and Ayrshire, in 1852 ; and, seeing the
Peelites in danger of political starvation, it may,
as before, if he be prepared to apply again, show
kindness to the needy. A useful, though some_
wsat overrated man, is Mr. CARDWELL in his line;
and after the recent birching he may do his task
better. As Mr. NEATE does not complain of his
judges, perhaps we ought not ; we certainly think,
however, that if he was unfairly unseated, other
members are only more lucky iu the tribunals be-
fore which they were brought. His Chairman
was a Conservative, and only one of the committee
was prepared, like himself, to vote for the Ballot.
Somehow, with but one clear exception, the
decisions of the Committee are very much in ac-
cordance with their political character. Wo do
not mean to insinuate judicial partisanship, but
unconscious bias is quite possible. At Cambridge,
a Liberal Committee has retained a Tory member
in his seat, and has inclined to the most lenient
interpetration of paying messengers and travel-
ling expaises. At Tewkesbury, a pretty Libe-
ral Committee fixes a Liberal member, Mr.
MARTIN, iei his seat ; but the-evidence against
him was certainly of the feeblest kind. At
Bury, a Liberal Committee also refuses to eject
Mr. Puturs, although there can be little doubt
that the non-electors endeavoured to intimidate
the shopkeepers to vote for him, and probably
secured him the victory : quite equitable this as
things go ; and, it may be, legal. &t Maidstone,
on the other hand, a Tory Committee retains twe
good Tories in their seats, notwithstanding a dis-
graceful system of promising to pay, and appa-
rently a deliberate arrangement for paying, as
soon as the lapse of time rendered it legally safe.
" The Constitutional Society"—.one founded, we
presume,under the auspices of Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
is the dominant power. And Mr. BERESFORD HOPE
had in perfect innocence paid 3,5001. in 1817 at,
a proper time after the election, although the
election was :scat contested! but of clause, according
to the usual estimate of political gratitude that
could have no weigh% now. "I promise to pay,"
was probably the only thing which cent' influence
a " Constitutional" man.

, Marlborough was but a case of disputed quali-
fication, the qualification being one granted for the
occasion ; but while on this side the Tweed, only
the choice of a constituency is not qualification suffi-
cient, it would of course be the height of absur-
dity to be over particular on the score of property
qualification. The committee, however, decided
fairly in not 7:ilowing
liabiaies in unfortunate -constructive
connection with the Royal British
Bank to darjape an otherwise sufficient qualificatii I.
