the case—that it is clearly defective. But it
is not their business to provide a substitute.
It is sufficient to indicate the evil, and to ask
for a suitable remedy. One of their requests is,
that " there should be, in place of the Company's
power, the direct Government of the QUEEN, with
an open Legislative Council ;" and another, "that
there should be QUEEN'S Courts, presided over
by trained lawyers, and in which English shall
be the official Court language."

These are plain and straightforward applica-
tions. They clearly perceive the dangers of a
divided Government, and naturally wish to deal
with a responsible department of the State, rather
than with private persons. The Directors may
individually be men of unimpeachable character,
and of far more than average ability. But the
system is erroneous, and there is no real respon-
sibility, no obligation to discharge efficiently, the
arduous and important duties confided to their
hands. The danger of giving such enormous
patronage to the Government has been elo-
quently expatiated on, but it was by persons who
were placed on the Opposition benches, and with
no reasonable prospect of occupying the sunny
side of the House. We believe, however, that
it would be far better to entrust it to a respon-
sible Minister than to a number of private indi-
viduals, whose solicitude is to provide for rela-
tives and friends without the slightest concern
for the welfare and prosperity of the nation.
We have seen sufficient of the " great unpaid"
in this country to respond cordially to the de-
mand for " trained lawyers" to preside over the
different Courts. It is really too bad to find men
utterly ignorant of the first principles of jurispru-
dence, pitchforked into lucrative situations, for
which they are totally unqualified; and delivering
almost ludicrous judgments, that excite the indig-
nation and disgust of the natives. There are
plenty of competent men in this country, who
have made law the study of their lives, who
would be willing to go out at far lower salaries
than are paid to the comparatively ignorant civi-
lians—who would discharge the judicial duties
with credit to themselves and advantage to the
country. But their services are rejected with scorn,
and enormous salaries are given to persons totally
incompetent for the business they undertake.
This, however, is a portion of Anglo-Indian red-
tapeism which it will be exceedingly difficult to
get rid of, but to which the independent inhabi-
tants of Calcutta very naturally direst the legis-
lative attention.

The petition must receive the cairn and deli-
berate consideration which it so eminently merits.
The neglect of similar documents has led to the
present untoward state of affairs. If India be
worth keeping, it is unquestionably worth taking
a little trouble for, and meeting the wants and
wishes of its independent inhabitants.

In 1855, we offered some observations on the
best mode of obtaining eligible recruits for the
army. It is quite obvious that, under the
existing system, educated young men will
not be tempted to accept the QUEEN'S shilling.
The station of the private soldier, with his shill-
ing per diem, is not such as will induce persons
to enlist in the ranks, and to undergo all the
dangers and privations incidental to the position.
Give them a hope of rising, let the prospects of a
commission be more clearly visible, and you will
find plenty of young men willing to encounter
every trial, and to show that they really deserve
promotion and would make truly valuable officers.
Unfortunately, however, the purchase system
is altogether opposed to this salutary principle. It
is £ s. d. and not Inmeritf that regulate
military advancement. Four hundred and fifty
pounds sterling for an ensigncy, seven hundred
pounds for a lieutenancy, will qualify a man to
become food for gunpowder—and to receive
ss. 3,1. or 6s. 6d. a-day, for being shot
at, and for braving every danger in insalubrious
climates, from the Arctic to the Tropics. We
cannot, then, wonder that there are many
ready to vote the service a " bore,"
and to declare their intention of selling out at any
annoyance. Bat the country wants the " Jack
Steeles," not the " Tom Noddys." We hear that
there is "no royal road to learning." Nor is
there any to military distinction, or if there is,
it is certainly not paved with gold. Energetic
service—the devotion of the heart and soul to
duty, is that which should win prosperity.
Let the opportunity arise and there will be no
lack of candidates. The brisk young men who
aro now contented t 3 hide their martial ardour
behind counters, will not do so when they see a
fair prospect of improving their positiot. They
will not submit to the perpetual companionship of
"Brown Bess," and all the annoyances of a pro-
tracted alliance with that respectable lady. But
hold out a fair prospect of the epauleges, let them
understand that they do not relinquish their social
position in assuming the QUEEN'slivery, andwe will
have hundreds, aye thousands, of volunteers, men
thirsting for distinction, and willing to undergo
any toil, to brave every danger in the pursuit.
There, are many "young Englishmen" who only
wait for improved regulations to tender their ser•
vices, and to teach the bloodthirsty Sepoys a
salutary lesson. Why, then, may we not
have a gentleman's corps one that every
man would be looked up to in, and in which the
private might, in the regular course of events, ex-
pect to become the officer ? It would be the best
description, of " cornpeti!ive examination"
would test far better than a knowledge of
iambics or hexameters, the qualifications for mili-
tary honours. We would °Wain the most com-
petent officers, and the difficulty would be, not to
procure recruits, but to select the most eligible'
applicants, where there will be a rush for employ-
ments. A large proportion of the rising genera-
tion will be disposed to exchange the yard
for the rifle, and to exclaim with HORACE,
Militia est potior, and leave woman to their
natural work ; and thus tend to remove the
hideous blot—the terrible plague-spot--on the
great metropoli4. Give the young men a proper
opening and W 3 shall no longer see them entering
into active competition with young women in
what is properly womans's work.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Last night Mr. Roberts, the American tragedian,
made his first appearance in London as Sir Giles
Overreach in Massinger's play of " A New Way to
Pay Old Debts." In appearance Mr. Roberts bears a
strong resemblance to the late Edmund Kean, but he
lacks that magic ♦oice which worked such wonders.
On his entry he was most cordially received, and
some minutes elapsed before the action of the
play proceeded. In the first two acts there was
nothing peculiar to notice in his acting—it was an even
gentlemanly performance, but in the third act he warmed
up, and from that part of the play he carried his audi-
ence with him. In the interview with Lord Lovell the
craving desire for the advancement of his daughter was
finely depicted, and again at the close of the fourth act
he elicited great applause by the uncontrolled, yet
fiendish delight with which he gave the following lines
Methinks I hear already knights and ladies
Sir Giles Overreach, how is it with
Your honourable daughter ?
My ends, my ends are compassed !—Then, for Wellborn
And the lands—were he once married to the wido w
I have him here. [Touching his forehead with his finger.]
I can scacre contain myself,
I am so full of joy ; nay, joy all over
The quarrel scene with Wellborn was exceedingly well
acted, and as the terrible reality of the failure of all his
schemes because known to him, his acting rose to first-
rate excellence, excepting, of course, the death struggle,
which was by far too American to suit an English
audience. Hie next character, King Lear, will afford a
better opportunity of fairly judging of his merits, as last
night he was evidently labouring under excessive
nervousness. Mr. Belton made a capital Wellborn, and
Miss Portman, as Margaret, created a very favourable
impression. The house was well filled in every part.

(From the Times.)

Last night this house was opened for a short season,
that Mr. Roberts, an American tragedian, new to this
country, might have a fitting opportunity of displaying
such talents as he might be supposed to possess. For
his first part he• selected Sir Giles Overreach in the
"New Way to Pay Old Debts," by which selection he
exposed himself to no slight ordeal. By the dint of
much spirit and a great deal of judgment he passed
through the ordeal with credit. The great passionate
act with which the piece concludee, And which by the
dint of accumulated mishaps elevates a bad man into a
hero who can command the sympathy of his spectators,
was most conscientiously rendered. At the fall of the
curtain he had the honour of a separate call, and we may
say that the guerdon was fairly merited.

THE TRANSIT.

(From the Singapore Free Press of July 30.)

_ .
The troops from the Transit arrived here on the 23d
current in her Majesty's ship Actmon, the Hon. Com-
pany's steamer Hoogbly, and the hired ship Beaver, con-
sisting of 193 of the Medical Staff Corp, 30 of the Roy el
Engineers, 286 of the 90th, an 4 119 of the 59th Reg,ts.,
including the officers accompanying these detachments.
Only a portion of the arms was got ont, and officers
and men saved nothing but the clothes they wore at
the time of the wreck. Many of the soldiers had neither
shoes nor stockings on when they left the vessel, having
been engaged in washing their deck when she struck.
The officers and crew of the Transit will be brought
here in the Borneo Company's steamer Sir Jas. Brooke.
When the other vessels left the wreck they were engaged
in saving what could be got at of the stores on board.
It wilt be recollected that the Transit left Portsmouth
on April 8 for China, and that on the following day she
returned in a sinking state, having during the night
grounded upon her anchor. The troops were landed, the
powder and shell taken out, and the Transit placed in
dock, where she wasrepaired, and the troops, sec., having
been re embarked she again proceeded on her voyage on
15th April. Her disasters did not end, however, with the
first. In coming out of dock she struck violently on the
gate, injuring one of the blades of her screw, and, as it after.
wards turned out, seriously shaking and loosening her
stern. The extent of the injury sustained was probably
not apparent at first, and, as we have etsted, she con-
tinued her voyage. The rough weather encountered in
the Bay of Biscay showed there was something wrong,
the wat©r coming in at the stern in great quantities. She
put into Corunna, where everything possible was dons
to repair her defects, and then once more pursued her
voyage. She had good weather to the Cape, and made
a capital run of it, but after leaving Simon's Bay en-
countered a series of heavy gales, when all the miseries of
her passengers were renewed. With a wind on her
beam the Transit sailed admirably, but before the wind
she rolled very much and took in water at all points.
The injuries she had received in her stern now
showed themselves, the seams opened and shut at
each roll of the ship and the water rushed in in
great quantities. In the course of one day no less
than 600 tons of water were pumped out of the
ship. It was feared that if the gale continued long
the vessel would go to the bottom, but fortu-
nately the weather by and by improved, and continued
fine intl. they made the land. As it was, the appearance
of Java Head was hailed with delight by all on board,
who considered that their troubles were new over. While
steaming through Banca Strafts on the morning of the
10th current, and rtinningittthe rate of eight knots• an
hour, her full speed under steam, the Transit, about
/ o'clok, struck violently three times, and then remained
fact. Every one rushed on deck on feeling the shook,
but the officer in command of the troops ordered them
to. go belo-w to their several-messes ; and this order- was
obeyed without the slightest hesitation, although
matters looked far from pleasant, the water
making fast and the vessel being in a sinking state.
The crew immediately set to work to gat out the boats,
while a party was employed in passing up biscuits
and other scores. It took two hours befOre the boa's
(six in all) were ready, and this was a most anxious
time, it being expected every moment that the vessel
would go down. The soldiers were now drawn up
on deck, and ordered to stand "at ease," and then
toll off to the boats, the few sick on board beiz.g
first embarked. Not the slightest unsteadiness was
shown or disposition to rush to the boats, but each man
patiently waited his turn. It was found that the boats
could only hold about 200 men, so that four trips were
necessary before all could be disembarked. The vessel lay
about six miles from the shore, and it was evident that if
the boats went ail the way on each trip it was more tilan
probable she would go down before half the people could
he got out. Captain Chambers therefore ordered them
to bet. anded on a reef, about two miles from the ship,
which was then uncovered, it being low water. The
boats made three trips to this reef, landing the men
on it, and on the fourth trip having taken off all that
remained on board the Transit, they proceeded direct to
the shore, and then removed those stationed on the reef.
This was accomplished just in time, as the tide was rising,
and those who remained last were standing in the
wat- r more than knee deep. The conduct of the
soldiers at this trying crisis is said to have been
admirable ; and they are entitled to the mere credit
from the fact that a large proportion of them are young
recruits who have entered the army since the termination
of the Crimean campaign. There would appear, how-
ever, to have been amongst them a sufficient number of
experienced soldiers to leaven the whole with a most
excellent spirit, and enable them to emulate the dis-
cipline displayed on a similar occasion by the soldiers on
board the Birkenhead, when she was wrecked off the
coast of Africa.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.—The result of the Moldavian
elections, now over, is favourable to the union of the
Principalities.
MONTENEGRO.—We are informed that the telegraph
announcement of the death of the Prince of Montenegro,
which, originally appearing in' a fOreign journal, has ob-
tained extensive currency in England, is wholly in-
correct.

SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEIIM.---During the week end-
ing Sept. 19, the visitors have been as follows-:—On.

A GOOD EICAMPLE.—Two sermons were preacheJ at
St. Peter's Church, Notting-hill, on Sunday last, in aid
of the funds for the sufferers by the Bengal mutiny, and
the sum of 1151. 89. 61d. was yesterday paid into the
Mansion-house by the incumbent of that church, the
Rev. F. H. Adams.

NOBLE EXAMPLE TO EMPLOYERS.—On Saturlay
Titus Salt, Eat] , proprietor of the extensive works
founded and erected by himself at Sal aire, near Brad-
ford, treated about 2,500 of his workpeople on a trip
to Manchester with free admission to the Art Trea-
sures Exhibition.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.—We. understand that Mr.
Edward Thornton has retired from the East India Com-
pany's home service. Besides holding a high official
position at the India Hones, Mr. Thornton is well known
as the anther of the "History of British India," and a
" Gazatteer of India," both recognised text b)oks, with
other valuable books relating to that country. To ell

PASSENGERS FROM INDIA.—The following passengers
are now on their way from Calcutta to England in the
Indian mail packet Colombo, which is expected to arrive
to-morrow or next day--viz.,--viz.,Mesdames Stokes, Chiver-,

Colonel, Mrs., and Miss Lennox, Messrs. Howard,
Vellenos, and Turner.
A NEW SCREW FOR STEAM BOATS.—A lieutenant in
the French navy, M. Vergne, has invented a new steam
screw propeller, which he calls the fluted screw. The
improvement is founded on a very nice observation of
the direction taken by the particles of the water displaced
and repelled by the screw. A commission was appointed
to compare the working and results of the old and new
screws. The persons composing it embarked at Toulon on
board the Vigilant, an iron steam despatch boat of
60-horse power, fitted with the ordinary screw, Four
trips were made along a measured distance ; then the
screw was replaced by that of Mr. Vergne's invention,
and four other trips were made along the same line.
The re'ult showed a gain of 17 per cent. in speed II
with the new screw, and the almost complete suppression
of that disagreeable vibration usual in screw steamers,
and which iu small vessels renders it necessary to make
the hinder part of the ship heavier and more costly than
it otherwise, need be. The -question has been raised
whether the same advantages would be obtained in large
vessels. Some scientific persons believe that they would
even in a greater degree, And give reasons for their be-
lief. This question will soon be set at reA, for the
Emperor has ordered the experiment to be renewed, this
time on a ship-of-the-line. As far as the invention has
3et been tested, it seems well-deierving the attention of
our
lEReglish eaval engineers.
B KENuEID,
Sept. 20.—The portion of the Mediter-
ranean Extension Telegraph Company's cabin already
completed, consisting of 582 k miles, was tested on
Saturday by Mr. B. V. Pay-ick, telegraph engineer,
and Mr. Andrews, superintendent to the Mediterranean
Company.. The testing of the entire length of the cable
was most satisfactory. With only two cells of a small
song battery a distinct signal was obtained, and with
four c lls uninterrupted telegraphic communication
was maintained, and message; were tranernitt?cl by

OPENING OF THE STATES GENERAL.

THE HAGUE, SEPT. 21.

The States General assembled to-day for the
session of 1857 and 1858, and the proceedings
were opened as usual by a speech from his Ma-
jesty in person. His Majesty thanked the Chamber
for their cordial co-operation in the formation
and completion of the law relative to education.
His Majesty informed the Chamber that his
relations with foreign Powers remained upon a
most peaceful and friendly footing ; that the co-
lonial possessions in the East, and almost all
portions of the Dutch dominions were in a most
satisfactory and peaceful condition ; that the
abolition of slavery in the West Indian colonies
would again be brought under the attention of
the Chamber ; that the balance of the Colonial
credit for the current year was most satis-
factory ; that the country generally was in a
most flourishing condition ; that, although a
very hot summer, preceded by a cold spring
had rendered feed for cattle scarce, the general
result of the harvest was favourable ; that the
attention of the Government was especially
directed to railway schemes, and that they had
brought forward several proposals with regard to
these undertakings ; that it was the intention of
the Government to favour private enterprises by
all means in their power, and, if necessary, even
to render assistance in a pecuniary way in tlae for-
mation of the capital ; that the increase of tele-
graphic communication had rendered it necessary
to open more offices and construct new lines ; ar.d
that among the financial laws to be introductd
during the present session the revision of the syE-
tem of taxation would occupy a prominent place.
His Majesty concluded by trusting that the pre-
sent time of prosperity and peace might be used
in a manner indicative of thankfulness to Al-
mighty God for the great blessings vouchsafed to
the country.

His Majesty then declared tho States General

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.

The Vanderbilt, steamer, Captain Higgins, has
arrived at Cowes with advices from New York to
the 12th inst., $1,272,200 in specie, and 180
passengers for Southampton and Havre.

The Vanderbilt passed the Baltic on the 13th,

The convention with New Grenada was signed
at Washington on the 10th.
The Tehuantepec question has been settled at

The municipal election at Leavenworth, Kansas,
resulted in the election of the Free State ticket by

Several other failures were announced on the
New York Stock Exchange. The most important
wlll3 the auspeusion of Mosare. Win. J. Bell and
Co., bankers, whose asset:, however, were said to
largely exceed their liabilities, and they confi-
dently expected soon to resume payment.

Toe New York Stock-market on the 11th inst.
was slightly better at the first board. The amount
of business transacted was not so large as usual,
and in some stocks the operations were principally
on time-buyers' option. New York Central Rail-
road advanced per cent.; Erie, ; Reading, ;
Michigan Southern Old, ; ditto Preferred, 1.
American Exchange Bank declined 3 per cent. ;
Metropolitan, 1; Delaware and Hudson I; Illinois
Central, 2; Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinati,
2 ; Chicago and Burlington, 5. The decline
in Bank Stocks continued, with daily increas-
ing sales. There was a sale of Erie Convertible,
1871, at 431 to 44 per cent. (a few days previous
these, bonds were selling freely at 60 per cent.) ;
La Crosse and Mil wankie, and Grand Bonds sold
at 35 per cent.; at the second board the market
was lower, and closed very weak. A very small
amount of business was transacted. Missouri

The sales of cotton embraced about 700 bales,
based upon middling uplands, at 15c. The re-
ceipts and stock of common grades of flour were
light, and prices steady at the previous day's quo-
tations ; extra grades were less buoyant, without
material change in quotations. Wheat was iu good
supply and lower ; a good deal of the new arrived
out of order and sold at low figures ; sound
closed at lower prices. Corn sold to a fair extent
at 70e. to 71-c. for western. Mixed pork was
firmly held, with moderate sales of mess at
25 dols. 75c. to 26 doli%, and of prime at
21 dols. 25c. to 21 dolls. Sugars were quite
steady, while prices_ were unchanged. The sales
embraced about 1,000 lihds. Cuba Muscovado,
including a portion fur refining. Coffee was in
fair request, with sales of about 1,530 bags of
Rio at 111 c. to 11ic. Freights continued steady
at the late advance, and to Liverpool about
30,000 bushels of wheat were engaged at sid. in
bulk and 6d. in ships' bags. Considerable lots of
sugars were also engaged to London and Liver-
pool, and 300 hhds. to 'Bremen.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY.

The French Government liar received despatches
announcing that the Emperar of Morocco, who
has been for some time unwell, hati regulated his
succession, and has appointed his son, who is
Governor of the provinc..3 of Tafilat, to be his
heir. This young man is said to have Nary war-
like ideas, and to differ essentially from his father's
policy.
The Debats offers the following rejoinder to cer-
tainm
c
iinental journals, which affect to hold
cheap the resources of England, and her ability to
maintain a protracted military struggle
•' Those Those who base their calculations on the probable
exhaustion of the military resources of England appear
to forget that England is, after all, a nation of 28 mil- .
lion souls, and that her military organisation, however
defective it may be, permitted nor to concentrate more
than 50,000 men under the walls of Sebastopol. Why
alto should not be taken into account the moral dig-
position of a nation which has in all times adapted
its efforts to the difthulties it has to overcome—which
may -be beaten, and generally is beaten at the
commencement of is wars, but which is rarely
discouraged, and which gains in strength as the
struggle continues ? England is already agitated by
the bad news from India, and we shall soon see offers
made from all parts of the kingdom similar to that of
the inhabitants of Slastfield. Without pretending to
dive into the future, we cannot admit that a nation
gifted with such resources and such energy can be de-
finitively beaten by an insurrection of Asiatics, who have
learnt the art of war in its pay, but who have not

yet been able to destroy their masters, whom they
suprised while unarmed and dispersed." •
